The Non‑Traditional Applicant’s Guide to Letters of Recommendation

Non-traditional applicants often worry about how to approach letters of recommendation when their path to law school looks different from the traditional route. In this episode, host and current 3L Aryana Ravery is joined by Meghan Fields, Associate Director of Admissions, for a deep dive into how applicants with work experience, career changes, caregiving responsibilities, or time away from school can build a strong and compelling LOR set. Together, they explore who to ask, how to ask, what makes a letter genuinely helpful, and why non-traditional experience is a strength in the admissions process.
