Army Vet Looks to Ease Other Soldiers’ Law School Application Experience

For Drew Schaffer, a recent veteran of combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and now a first-year law student, any classroom jitters are relative: "Having been in some pretty stressful situations, you realize getting a low grade on an exam is not life threatening." The former Army Ranger applied to law school from Afghanistan, studied for the LSAT between combat patrols and took the test under threat of Taliban artillery fire. Now he's started a group to ease the application process for other overseas soldiers.
