Shortly after I passed the bar, I had my first court appearance. I believe in the value of the legal education we&rsquo;re providing, and I believe it because I experienced it first hand.<\/p>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">What&rsquo;s Great About Your Job?<\/h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Helping people to realize their dreams and advising them on how to pursue them. Sometimes applicants will come with their parents and you can see the pride on the parents&rsquo; faces. That&rsquo;s awesome to be a part of.<\/p>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">What Makes a Good Letter of Recommendation?<\/h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For me, its not as important who writes your letter, but rather, what they have to say about you is critical. Many people think that it has to be a professor, but an employer works as well. I want to know that you&rsquo;re responsible and capable of critical thinking, hard work, and multitasking. It matters to me what the recommender says about who the applicant is.<\/p>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">What Makes You Proud?<\/h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Being an alumna of Delaware&nbsp;Law I know that our graduates enter the profession prepared to succeed. I am proud that I play a significant role in shaping the profile of our student body and future graduates. I am proud to be able to play a role in providing to others the same opportunities that I had.<\/p>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">On Common Myths<\/h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nobody is going to read my personal statement. They just look at the numbers. Well-written personal statements can really enhance your application. It actually allows and gives us reason to look beyond the numbers.<\/p>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Tips on the Admissions Process<\/h5>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Be honest throughout the process. Be honest with yourself and be honest with us.<\/p>","callouts":[{"type":"info_box","display_title":"Contact","title":"Contact","content":"<p>Barbara Ayars<br \/>Assistant Dean for Admissions<br \/><a href=\"mailto:blayars@widener.edu\">blayars@widener.edu<\/a><br \/>302-477-2210<\/p>"}],"callouts_visual":[],"page_fact_display":""}
