Summer after Freshman Year of Undergrad?

Graduate School Law School

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm contemplating how I should spend my summer after my freshman year of undergrad. I'm thinking of some sort of community service program in a major city near my university or simply going back home & working because we all know college isn't the best thing that happened to our wallets. A lot of the fellowship programs/law firms seem to want sophomores & up, so I'm heavily leaning towards simply going back home and just working.</p>

<p>Please let me know any opinions & your personal experiences with summers before law school. Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>99% of law school admissions is GPA+LSAT score, so nothing you do in the summer will matter.</p>

<p>Take an easy summer class and boost your GPA. </p>

<p>Work retail. Travel. Otherwise, won’t matter.</p>

Completely agree with the poster above. If you can do something related to law that you enjoy, go for it. Otherwise, improve your GPA and make money.
