[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get the highest undergraduate GPA possible. Major is totally irrelevant. In fact, a Theatre major would stand out in a sea of polisci majors applying to law school

Supplement the high GPA with some kind of relevant interest that connects to law school. Like volunteer for a drama program that works with incarcerated people or with at-risk kids. Then write a personal statement about how this experience has been the inspiration for a career using the law to address societal iniquity

Get a 170+ on the LSAT[/quote]

- HYS undergrad and law school grad here[/quote]

HLS Class of 2024 has graduates of 171 colleges, many of which are "no name" schools.  Yes, higher ranked schools are leg up, but you're overstating how much of a leg up they are.
