Law School Letters of Rec.

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>I just graduated from UC Berkeley and I am planning on applying to law school in the Fall. I have three people writing me letters of rec. - a history professor, my advisor for my honors thesis, and a GSI. I also have a couple employers who I could ask. However, I am trying to decide if it is worth it. I know that they would be willing to write me a letter, but I feel bad because I am also applying for jobs and a couple of the people I was thinking of asking are also my references for job apps. So I just don't want to inconvenience them too much. Anyone have any advice? </p>

<p>Also, unrelated question. My GPA at Berk is 3.74. I know it's ok, but it's not anything amazing. I haven't taken the LSAT yet (I'm taking it in October). What does my LSAT score have to be in order to be competitive at the top law schools?</p>

<p>You’re definitely going to want at least a 170, preferably better, to get into a T14. If you get a better score than that you have a good chance at a scholarship, too.</p>

<p>And there’s a good chance that if you ask these people for recommendations to law school, they can apply minor changes to make the letters work for other kinds of references, too.</p>
