Applying to Law School

Three main things that all law admissions look for:

o LSAT
o GPA at what school
o Application

One of the main turn offs from applications are the applicant's sloppiness, DON'T NEGLECT THIS PART!! It's kinda uh... Important. Most law schools do not do interviews; they believe that applicants should be able to express themselves through writing the personal statement.

The next important thing in the application are the Letters of
Recommendation, these need to be very favorable preferably from professors or academic sources that know you well. Law schools want to know if you have the capability to succeed at their school.

Submit the application as early as possible; this will increase your chances of getting in. To send out applications, register an account at www.LSAC.org for a fee. This is a necessity if applying to more than a few schools, and at some schools they require that you use this service.

To check school score averages, go to LSAC.org and click on

->Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools
->All Law Schools
->Pick the school you want to check out
->Description

At the bottom, there should be a table with admitted students with whichever scores. If the admitted students over the applied students is 50% or above ( Admitted / Applied ) under your score category, the chances of you getting in is good.

If your rating at a reach school is 10% acceptance under your category, you should go ahead and apply, there is a reasonable chance that you will get accepted.
