[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People always say it's about GPA and lsat but I don't think think that's fully the case.  [b]There are too many people with very high scores on both. [/b] Law schools also want to see engagement-- extracurriculars, summer work experiences and, increasingly, interesting jobs in the gap between college and law school.  Unlike a decade or two ago, it's really, really common for students to work a couple of years before law school.  Some is to make money to pay tuition, but a lot of it is to demonstrate to the school that you're likely to be successful upon graduation.[/quote]

Not really. There aren't going to be "too many" with 99th percentile LSAT scores.

People (usually the hopeful mommies) repeat the same stuff over and over around here, whether they know what they are talking about or not. Schools don't need to see someone at a random job for a couple of years to see if one is "likely to be successful upon graduation." Plenty of people who have had jobs before are not successful lawyers, and plenty who haven't ever worked before become legal stars. Y'all just repeat what you have heard on the internet, whether you know anything about the subject matter or not. Blah, blah, blah. [/quote]
