Most Important Factors in Getting Admitted

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>I realize the road to law school requires a multitude of things, ranging from the a good LSAT score to good grades. However, I am not sure which factors are the most important (in terms of getting admitted to law school). </p>

<p>This is what I've gathered. <----- very limited knowledge
*(in order of decreasing importance)
1. Grades
2. LSAT
3. ECs</p>

<p>Could someone please confirm/add to this? </p>

<p>There are decisions I must make in the near future. My biggest dilemma as a high school student is deciding what undergrad college to go to.. Haven't applied as of yet. I have heard prestige plays an immense role in the legal field. </p>

<p>So, in terms of undergrad, is one better off going to a more "mediocre" college and getting straight A's or going to a more "prestigious" school and getting a slightly lower GPA? Can attending that "mediocre" college be destructive towards my efforts?</p>

<p>There are other threads answering this question. Do a search.</p>

<p>A ton of threads on this. The general order of priority is LSAT->GPA->ECs.</p>

<p>Since the OP is in high school it’s statistically a near certainty that he/she will change their mind about career choice at least twice before graduating college. </p>

<p>That said, don’t sweat your LSAT/GPA years before either exist.</p>

<p>I fail to see these “threads”, and I’ve done the searches before I started this one. (made this b/c I couldn’t find any)</p>

<p>Would anyone be kind to send me a link?</p>
