How do I improve my chances of getting into a competitive law school?

OK, now imagine if it looked like this…

None of that extra will matter. What UT will focus on is your GPA and your LSAT score. The rest is nice-to-have. (law school admissions is very different that selective undergrads)

My ultimate goal is to be a Diplomat…

Then I would raise your sights. The vast majority of the T14 would be better for your "ultimate goal.’ For diplomat, the higher the better, i.e., Harvard law.

Take the LSAT after graduation. Prep like crazy and aim for a 173. Even if you fall short of 173, a high score could mean a full tuition scholly to a school like UT.

Thank you so much! I was completely unaware that those things hardly mattered. I’ll give it my best shot.
