Finally, the first thing you should do if you want to go to law school is rid your mind of the presumption that you will be the exception to the Rules - you aren’t.

Here are the Rules, for reference:

1. You will struggle in 1L
2. You will struggle to find employment
3. You will take on more debt that you expected to
4. You will find yourself struggling to pay that debt
5. You will make difficult choices regarding the roof over your head, the food in your stomach, and the clothes on your back, because of that debt
