Ask Misfire anything about the LSAT/Law School Admissions

do these pre-law societies and extra-curriculars really have any weight in law-school admissions? What about legacy considerations (I had a cousin that went to Harvard...I am quite sure this doesn't mean shi*).

Pre-law societies don't help much that I know of, except to show that you actually do things extracurricularly. Pre-law and poli-sci majors, paralegals, etc. aren't that impressive (mostly because they're so many of them applying). What makes you stand out?

I'm not sure if cousins count for legacy considerations ( I doubt it), and most law schools only care about legacy if the family memeber went to the law school itself. Call the school.
