Law School Admissions Office- "We are looking for well-rounded students with academic excellence, diverse interests, leadership skills...."


What really happens is some formula that basically breaks down to LSAT+GPA= Chance of admission. Of course other things factor in, but for most schools it seems to be

40-60% LSAT score

40-60% GPA (some bonus pts. for hard sciences)

2-10% Other


And if you are an underrepresented minority then multiply everything by like a billion.


Majors to avoid: Pre-Law, Communications, Art HIstory

Majors that are good: Bio, Chem, Physics, Math


Everything else doesn't have an impact either way. I was a psych major fwiw, and other than interviewers asking "why psychology" it doesn't matter at all.


In June of your Junior year of college you take the LSAT, the single most important test you've taken in your life up to that point, where a difference of only a few points means the difference between a good school and a toilet, scholarship money or a boot in the ass.

Then you write some standard essays, submit your transcript, and wait.



(Note that law schools get the reported average GPA of your school and major, so they know that a 3.0 in bio is better than a 3.0 in art.


Also, if you can't get into at least a decent school, or you have loads of money, don't bother. I know too many people at schools that cost $150k, but the average graduate makes like 40k.
