<p>Chill out NYUGirlie, you are going to have a nervous breakdown at this rate. Start with enjoying your learning experience as an undergrad. Major in a field that fascinates you and get good grades. Look at any Law school students profile and you will see that there is not one "type". Popular majors include the following: Economics, English, History, Language majors, Political Science, Philosophy and Sociology. But there are many equally appealing majors, such as Biology, Engineering and Music. So do not feel like you are obligated to concentrate in a "traditional" major. </p>

<p>But like I said, do not start panicking. Save it for your junior year, when you should should start preparing for the LSAT. For now, find out what field of study appeals to you and maintain as high a GPA as you can.</p>

<p>Don't get so stressed that you have to spend Friday night lurking at CC. :D</p>

<p>Go out and play. There's more to life than law school. You'll spend 30 years working in a field that you'll love and law school eats up only 3 years of your life. So what would you rather do while in college? Study for the LSATs for something that's going to take up 3 years of your life OR find a passion that you want to do for life? Law school only supplements your passion.</p>

<p>answer and bump please</p>

<p>also, i think that those 3 yrs will make a big difference in the rest of my life!....depending on where i go....please give me advice! are ecs important?</p>

<p>Doing basic internet research or purchasing books on law school admissions will easily fulfill your inquiry.</p>

<p>please give me specifics...
what would it take, other than high gpa and lsats, to get into yale law, harvard law, nyu law, or stanford law??</p>

<p>what activities would be ideal?</p>

<p>do they look more for leadership or passion?</p>

<p>is it more like high school or different??
help please</p>
