About this listen
In this episode of Break Into Law School, host Arturo Hudson welcomes back Issa DiSciullo from William & Mary Law School to discuss the anatomy of a strong law school application. Drawing on over 30 years of admissions experience, Dean Issa emphasizes a holistic review process, where GPA, LSAT, personal statements, letters of recommendation, and resumes are all key pieces of a candidate’s story. She explains that law schools are looking for academically prepared, self-aware, and authentic applicants who align with the school’s mission and values. Dean Issa offers clear advice on how to approach optional essays, personal statements, addenda, and resume-building—urging applicants to focus on growth, purpose, and honest storytelling over perfection. The conversation encourages prospective students to be strategic, patient, and true to themselves throughout the admissions process.
