Law School

<p>I know this forum doesn't normally cover grad school, but I'm really interested in learning more about Law School, whether is Yale's, other Ivy League or from another great university. </p>

<p>I begun my university career this year in Industrial Microbiology, but decided to change my B.A. to Criminal Justice, with a concentration in Criminal Investigation. One of my first doubts is: Will this action create some kind of repercussion later on? </p>

<p>I will be doing community service, as I did in my High School years, but I’m not sure of how many hours should I strive to achieve. I hope to complete my hours between tutoring, and beginning a project focused on patients that suffer multiple sclerosis. I will too be part of the UN’s Association and other similar academics groups. I’ll, as soon as I am eligible, form part of an internship in Washington, DC, on the Congress or a similar federal agency. For medical reasons, I couldn’t start with this task this year, but it’s clearly shown on my permanent record that I was in a grave medical condition, so I hope they take this into consideration. What other activities will reinforce my chances at a top university?</p>

<p>Lastly, I’m a minority, and, for the moment, my GPA is 3.90. I have begun to practice for the LSAT, and I am trying to compile a good reading material, such as “A History of American Law” and “One L” (you’re welcome to suggest texts) to increase my actual knowledge in laws and related themes. </p>

<p>I’m trying to take a very active disposition to assure myself at least one acceptance in a top university, but I would love any recommendation you could offer to me. </p>

<p>PS: Financial Aid suggestions or explanations would be welcome too.</p>
