<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>thank you very much for everybody's input.. I can't believe at the size this thread has grown as well as the quality of the replies my topic has received. </p>
<p>I definitely have a better sense of direction now thanks to your input as well as some outside research I did here and there.</p>
<p>By the way, I couldn't help but notice the comment (..ignorant -_-) about the attendance of a CC prior to transfer to a UC and its affect on admissions. </p>
<p>Pardon, but where are you getting that information from? I spoke to the admissions office at a couple of top law schools -- especially here at Boalt and they said the admissions look at every transcript but just because you went to a CC doesn't mean you're out.. that's just .. ridiculous.</p>
<p>As long as I keep my grades up or get even higher grades, they will see the trend of my work ethic and get some extracurriculum in there -- such as (I mentioned this to Boalt and they were enthused at the idea saying it will make the app stand out) taking a couple of summers to volunteer abroad to do things like teach or build hospitals, etc.</p>
<p>I guess in the end, I should focus on the present and my future be my eyes. </p>
<p>Thanks again to everyone ^_^</p>
