Do I need to mention the schools name? Forum

[gtrwanka]

I am done with my PSs and am wondering if I should change the words "law school" to the schools individual names for each application. I worry that if I dont then they will know my essays were used for multiple applications and discount me for it. But im also worried that if I just plug in the schools name towards the end of the essay, it will just cheapen the whole thing. Any advice?

I made mine general, not mentioning any school in particular. I figure the adcomms assume I'm applying to multiple schools. If I want to get specific about what a school offers, I can write a "Why X" essay.

Don't mention the school on less you have a reason to do so. By the sound of it you do not. EVERYONE applies to many schools and reuses their essay, don't fret.

only mention the school name if you are writing a WHY(school name)? Everyone uses the same ps, and most people apply to more than one school. I think LSAC recommends that people apply to 7 schools ( 2 safeties, 3 targets, and 2 reaches) so law schools know you will be most likely applying to more than just their school ( unless you are said law school or bust)
