[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC just went through the admissions cycle, with multiple T14 offers.  My sense is that a cohesive narrative matters, but that it is a much less holistic process than undergrad admission can be -- the median GPA and LSAT of each school are very important markers of a candidate's competitiveness.

Summer jobs can matter in terms of:

(1) how they fit in with the overall narrative of how the applicant came to be interested in law -- the content should be consistent with the applicant's story, but does not need to be in any particular domain.

(2) will the experience help make the applicant competitive for first jobs in the future -- the hiring cycle has shifted to starting much earlier, so the pre-law school experience is more important now (hence the increased penalty for KJDs). A year or more of full-time employment post BA/BS is a real asset.[/quote]

Look, mom, your kid getting into a top law school doesn’t make you and expert in law school admissions.  Cut me a break!![/quote]
