Would I Be Able To Get Into An Elite Law School?

What do I need to do to get into an elite law school?

• I want to get into one of the top law colleges in the US my list is as follows 1)Yale 2)Stanford 3)Harvard 4)Berkeley It is my dream but I need to know how to get there. I am an incoming freshman to indiana university and want to start as early as possible making a difference to set myself apart to get into my dream college(s). I know you need a high LSAT and GPA but i know there is other stuff like community service and such that needs to be done. I have enough irish blood enough to try to use "diversity" but i dont want to play that card unless i i have to. What do you think i need to do?

• Answer:

  The other stuff like community service/volunteering/work experience isn't nearly as important as what you mentioned for what is required, ie) high GPA and high LSAT. And by high GPA and high LSAT I mean a REALLY high GPA and a REALLY high LSAT for the schools that you listed. You'll need at least a 3.7+ GPA and a 168+ LSAT to be in consideration for the schools in your list. Start familiarizing yourself with the LSAT now so that you won't be surprised with the format once you first hear/study about it.
