Will revealing that I have gone through a bankruptcy affect my chances of gaining admission into law school?

However, most people who fail this process do so because their inability to disclose the information rather than the substance of the information itself.

Your application goes to your ability to be ethical and honest in your chosen career and with your clients. While a bankruptcy may hold you back from receiving certain types of financial aid, it should not impact your actual application in a very negative manner.
