<p>get into HYS? Specifically, Harvard Law?</p>
<p>I plan to get a 4.0 and a high lsat score and many extracurriculars, but is this college good enough?</p>
<p>Sorry for double post but is Whitman good also?</p>
<p>It really doesn't matter what college you go to. Law school is more numbers based. Go to the school that will get you great recommendations, high lsat score, high gpa, and great extracurriculars.</p>
<p>So liberal arts colleges are okay?</p>
<p>The link will probably help. If I were you, I would worry more about actually getting the high GPA and LSAT and less about the UG if you are seriously trying to getting into HYS for law school.</p>
<p>Liberal arts college are usually the best because they focus on critical thinking and writing skills which you will definitely need in law school.</p>

<p>THANK YOU FOR THAT LINK!!!</p>
<p>Seriously you have taken off a lot of pressure that's been on me. Thank you.</p>
<p>And I know that UG doesn't matter as much as LSAT and GPA. I WILL get a high GPA and after devoting my social life to LSAT I plan to get a high score so yeah I just wanted to make sure I don't screw up in picking my school/courses this year (as I did for when I picked courses/school for college). This is mainly the reason why I don't want to make the same mistake. I'm going to make sure I have everything in place so that I have a good shot at ivy law schools.</p>

<p>i know i may be sounding like a broken record since i know i've given this advise before (if not to you, to others) - PLEASE don't spend your 4 years of college fixated on the goal of law school -- and specifically, not the goal of hys!</p>
<p>your college years can be an incredible time in your life -- socially, academically, intellectually -- don't loose the opportunity to get everything you can out of those 4 years (and that INCLUDES the social aspect) just because now while you are in hs you believe you want to go to law school. there is so much more to college than the courses you take -- and please don't just choose those with the goal of having the highest possible gpa for law school -- you'll miss opportunities that you may never get again. there are professors out there who will be incredibly worthwhile and may have a great impact on you even though they're not an "easy A."</p>
<p>you may very well still want to go to law school in 4 years. i'm not saying ignore that and party for 4 years without regard to gpa and lsat studying. but college is a great time to be open to other possibilities -- there are things out there that you just probably have never even considered. keep things in balance. don't devote your social life to the lsat!</p>
<p>Whoa, what the hell...</p>
<p>First, it's a numbers game. LSAT>GPA>ECs/UG/LORs. UG doesn't really matter. The only T-14 that openly admits to preferring certain top undergrads is UChicago. </p>
<p>Second, you only need 1-3 months to study for the LSAT. I increased from a 164 diagnostic to a 169 in 1 month. My boyfriend increased from 165 to 171 in one month.</p>
<p>Third, it's ridiculous to group law schools the same way we do with undergrad. Ivy does not necessarily signify better. There really is no such thing as "Ivy law schools..."</p>
<p>Beyond a certain point, the studying will merely decrease your marginal returns. The test is about honing your skills. You don't need years to do that.</p>
<p>There was someone who was high school valedictorian, then went to UW and graduated in 3 years summa cum laude in English. She ended up going to Yale Law school, but I think she'd also gotten into Harvard.</p>
<p>^ Well considering Yale is better than Harvard and more difficult to get into, I'm not surprised she also got into Harvard.</p>
