The Application: Mundane? Maybe Not
Filling out a law-school application form is a fairly painless affair. Few of the form's questions require much thought: Where did you go to college? When did you take the LSAT? Have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor?

Every now and then, however, the drudgery is interrupted with something sneaky, like, "List your extracurricular activities in order of importance," followed by two or three blank lines. It might be quietly tucked in between "Have you ever served in the military?" and "What are your parents' professions?" in such a way that you wonder if it is even considered an important question.

There is something devious about the nonchalance with which a law-school application form asks you for truly personal information. Even the essay question is sometimes called "optional." The tone of the few questions that seem designed to elicit information relating to your individuality is often perfunctory. If you took at face value the apparent unimportance of such questions, the dossier you presented to an admissions committee would consist of little else but your college grades and your score on the LSAT.
