[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My former Biglaw law firm, like many others, hired recent college grads as paralegals.  The overwhelming majority of them took the job thinking it would both help them decide whether to actually go to law school and that they could get a helpful recommendation from a partner and the work experience would help with admissions.

Only the first thing is true.   Law schools base their admissions decisions almost exclusively on the GPA and LSAT and don’t care about any particular work experience or recommendations beyond college professors—and even there not much.

Holistic admissions is an undergraduate concept.  Not a law school one.

Speak for yourself. I'm quite confident that a very strong recommendation from one of the attorneys I worked for helped get me into a T14 law school. [/quote]

Because you had a weak GPA, LSAT, or both? Otherwise I think you’re wrong. [/quote]

I know I'm not wrong. But surely you know more than I do even though you have zero knowledge of the situation whatsoever. [/quote]
