About Evelyn R. Calvoni
Expertise
I can answer questions about law school and the process of applying to law school. I recently graduated in May 2008, so it's all fresh in my mind. I can answer questions about how to apply to law school, the LSAT, getting letters of recommendation, writing your personal statement, etc. I can also answer questions about what life is like during law school and the different opportunities students should take advantage of during their law school experience, i.e., law review, networking events, moot court, clinics, internships, what classes to take, etc. I can also answer questions about what it's like to look for a job, what are good jobs to get right out of law school, and general questions about writing cover letters and resumes. I can also answer questions about judicial clerkships after law school.
Experience
I am a recent law school graduate (May 2008). I have been through the process and have taken advantage of many different opportunities throughout my three years in law school. I've done internships, a clinic, been on law review, been on moot court, and participated in several moot court competitions. I am currently clerking for a state Court of Appeals judge.
Education/Credentials
I have a BA in Political Science.

Law School - Law school application
Expert: Evelyn R. Calvoni - 10/3/2008
Question
I have a general question. If an ivy league law school (in my case U Penn) contacts you inviting you to apply and offers to waive the application fee, does that mean that you have a high chance of being accepted?
Answer
Hi Diana,
I can't answer your question with 100% certainty. But I can tell you that if a school is asking you to apply and is willing to waive your fee, it might be that they got wind of your LSAT score from LSDAS and think you might be a good candidate. I think I got one of those when I was sending my applications, and if I recall, the school that sent me a waiver ultimately did accept me. It wasn't an Ivy League school; I think it was actually a tier 4 school. But nonetheless, they did send me the waiver and then accepted me.
So, you may as well apply. All it's going to cost you is the LSDAS report so you've got nothing to lose. Good luck!
