[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People always say it's about GPA and lsat but I don't think think that's fully the case.  There are too many people with very high scores on both.  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]

Ehh. My smart but lazy nephew breezed through college, and then spent 5 years laying around his parents' house. Truly, has done nothing. No jobs. No volunteer work. His only activity is a kickball beer league. He got a great LSAT score and was accepted to every law school he applied to and will start this fall. Convinced me that nothing but grades/scores matter.[/quote]

Yep. GPA and LSAT are 95% of it. Law Schools are not holistic except when it comes to work experience. That matters. [/quote]
