<p>Hello! This is my first thread I have ever written, so I'm not sure how this goes. I am a junior in a university. I just started a Princeton review prep course(i have taken the diagnostic exam a few days ago and am waiting for my score to be posted) before I take the LSAT's in October. I try to shoot high and right now I am aiming for ivy league law schools. From my own research ivy league schools look for LSAT score and GPA and have 20%> acceptance rate. But given that I can achieve these, what else do they actually want? I've read that they want ambition, leadership, blah, blah blah. I am treasurer of our universities rugby union and I partake in mock trial club. I am looking for a legal internship in the area but have found no luck yet. It seems like to get into these schools I have to invent something or be a minority. I guess, the real question I'm asking is what do I have to do to get accepted? I'm not looking for cliche answers. Is this even realistic of me to aspire to go to these law schools? How can I show that I am different. How can i stand out? What is the truth about ivy league material?</p>
<p>GPA + LSAT is all that really matters.</p>
<p>I know two people that went to Harvard Law School, and another that went to Yale. All three of them graduated magna cum laude from undergrad from good to great schols (Illinois, Harvard, and Notre Dame), and they all scored above 170 on the LSAT. One was a political science major, one studied accounting, and the other one was a history major.</p>
<p>You can get into all of the Ivy League law schools, with the exception of Yale, with LSAT and GPA alone.</p>
