A few questions

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>So before I ask my questions here is a little background on me I am a Business Administration major with a focus in Accounting and I'm attending a small public school. I am very active in my campus community having participated in many student orgs, including founding an honor society on campus. I also have a 3.85 GPA. I am going to be entering my final year this fall and I will have taken 5 years to graduate and without a minor I will have had 132 units of courses when I finish up my undergrad degree..</p>

<p>My choices are these:</p>

<p>A) Get a minor in Political Science. It will add 9 units and force me to take 2 summer classes, so I will have 141 units overall.</p>

<p>B) Work in a small Law Firm over the summer.</p>

<p>So my questions are as follows:</p>

<p>Do you know if taking 5 years in college will hurt my application chances?</p>

<p>Would you go for a minor in Political Science or would you work at a small Law Firm.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your time.</p>

<p>Law firm. There is no problem with your GPA at all. If your LSAT is also strong you should be looking at the top 14 , and if you are up for admission to a similar candidate at say NYU then your law firm soft factor will come into play. </p>

<p>Taking 5 years of classes will not hurt you. Your GPA is what matters.</p>

<p>My LSAT score is very average right now but I am only now beginning serious prep for the June LSAT since school recently got out.</p>

<p>Thank you once again for the advice!</p>
