<p>I am not necessarily a dreamer, but I want to get into one of those firms, not to earn money, but rather do something that I think I'm good at. (No, It's what everyone thinks before they get into a real Law-school) however, I think I can do well in practicing law, unlike the "big-timers" who look like they have no clue in law, just money.
There are many things that I have to learn but my main concern is my grades (like every other person in the world)
I slacked off my freshman year because I thought that studying was pointless, because the year before (8th) I did very well and thought studying was just for mediocres.
I managed to get a 3.0 for my GPA in 9th grade and I'm looking at a 3.7 for my quarter grade (Our school does quarters, not semesters)
-Will my freshman year hurt me a lot? (I'm also an international student in Korea, and Korean)
-Any good recommendations for law schools?
-I'm not sure what a good resume' is, and I'm positive that others would ike to know as well. So mind giving a few pointers?
This is all based on law by the way.
-Add a few more pointers please, for my benefit...</p>
<p>In the US, law is a GRADUATE program. You have to go to college FIRST. Ater you get your first, bachelor's degree, you go to law school. You have to go through the application process all over again. Your record in college and your score on the LSAT will be the most important factors in admission. </p>
<p>Your desire to go to law school should pay no role in your selection of colleges.</p>
<p>Please understand that even getting into an American law school is NOT a guarantee that you will be allowed to stay in the US and practice law.</p>
