I am eager to be accepted into your law school, and am submitting a resume for review.  In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

 

As illustrated in the accompanying resume, in support of my long-term plan to practice law, I successfully earned a Bachelor of Arts in Administration of Justice from Pennsylvania State University-Abington, graduating with a 3.33 GPA.  Demonstrating my drive to achieve goals, I have worked concurrent with my academic pursuits in positions ranging from small business Owner/Operator and Office Manager to Sales Associate and Customer Service Representative.  I believe this also shows that I have the strong work ethic, high level of integrity and solid multitasking, prioritization, organization, and time management skills required to thrive in law school.

 

I am committed to excelling and am confident that I will prove to be a highly successful law student and representative of your school.   I welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications for acceptance into your program, and look forward to your response.

 

 

Sincerely,
