Law School Admissions Question, Please Read!

Graduate School Law School

<p>Dear All,</p>

<p>I had a few questions in regards to what you think Law School Admissions would think about the following;</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Undergraduate Major - I'm currently a Business Administration major at CSUF. I chose a joint emphasis of Accounting/Information Systems for my concentration. In order to attain a higher GPA, I've considered changing the business concentration to Management (Human Resources or Legal Studies). I'm about to become a senior this fall and I haven't taken that many courses so far for my concentration. Would law school admissions notice my switch and consider it grade inflation? <em>I'm currently averaging 3.4 overall GPA as an Accounting/IS Major.</em></p></li>
<li><p>Work Experience - How much is Work Experience during your undergraduate considered? I received 3 promotions and worked a global headquarters for a logistics firm. I noticed that some schools like seeing experience after your degree, but does experience DURING your degree hold the same weight?</p></li>
<li><p>Getting Involved - Are there specific extra-curricular activities that law schools consider more than others? I plan on joining two or three clubs, volunteering with them, and also plan on starting a non profit organization.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Any feedback would be truly appreciated. I plan on pursuing my dream and I hope you can help with some feedback!</p>

<p>The major factors for law school admission are your undergraduate GPA and score on the LSAT. There are websites that consider different GPA and LSAT combinations to predict which law schools you will be admitted to. Study for the LSAT takes several months and you want to max out your GPA as much as possible.</p>
