Course Load, Grad School, General Advice?

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>My main question is how much course load matters for admission. Basically I only need 33 hours to graduate and my plan was to take 12 in fall, 12 in spring, and 9 in summer. Will it look better to take 15 or 18 hours instead this fall and spring? I'll also be looking for an internship for fall and spring as well.</p>

<p>The other thing is that I have been considering getting my Masters as a personal goal and I'm assuming that I will have a much better chance of admissions if I have a Masters as well? </p>

<p>I had some family problems early during undergrad and messed up a few semesters, but the last 24 hours have been all A's and I'll get A's the rest of my undergrad. When I graduate I'll have ~3.4 gpa overall and a ~3.9 at my current school. I will be applying to The University of Florida, Florida State, and probably Georgia (preference in that order). </p>

<p>Any advice will be appreciated. </p>

My son had 45 AP credits and could graduate undergrad in 2.5 years. Stayed all 4 and picked up another major/minor. He only took 12 credits each semester his last year (didn’t need more to finish the extra majors). He was accepted at UF and UGA (with good merit $). He had a higher overall GPA than you. What is is LSAT or did you not take it yet?</p>

<p>I have not taken it yet. I plan to take a year off and work/intern then I’m going to begin practicing in the spring and take it next fall. </p>

<p>This will not improve your chances of admissions. The LSDAS only calculates you a GPA up to your first bachelors degree.</p>

<p>I was thinking more along the lines of it being a solid credential to help my overall application. </p>

<p>It is to going to anything to boost your application. Save the $$ and put it toward paying for law school</p>
