What Are the Best Law Schools For Me?

Graduate School Law School
1

Hello there! I aspire to attend a law school that is within my standards but also offers good education. I know my resumé isn’t very impressive, but I’d really appreciate it if you would give your opinion on which colleges would be fitting for me. Thanks in advance!

Overall unweighted high school GPA: 3.97
ACT composite score: 31
I am rank at 4/33 in my class.

In terms of classes, I have taken AP World History, AP Human Geo, AP Calculus AB, AP Government, AP Computer Science, AP English III, AP U.S. History, AP Psychology, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus BC, AP English IV, and AP Biology (12 AP classes total).

Extracurriculars:
ALA Girls State - I ran for Governor and won
Quiz Bowl - 9th - 12th grade; in 9th and 10th grade, we were state runner-up champions
STEM Festival - I won 2nd place in Biology in 11th grade
National Honor Society - 10th - 12th grade
Student Council - 11th and 12th grade; I was class representative in 11th, and President in 12th
Volunteering - I’ve volunteered at hospitals during 10th - 12th grade, and acquired over 200 hours.
Science Olympiad - I’ve won three awards during 11th - 12th grade
Yearbook - 11th, 12th
National History Day - 9th, 12th; I have advanced to state competition in both years.

I am also an Arkansan resident.

With all this, which law schools would I fit the criteria of? I’d love to hear any and all opinions on this. Thanks again!

You are a high school junior, come back here in four years.

You do realize that law school admission requires a bachelor’s degree first?

I agree. You really can’t gauge your chances of being admitted to different law schools, and therefore can’t start compiling a list, until you have a few years of college under your belt and have an idea of how you’ll perform on the LSAT. Law schools don’t ask anything about high school-they don’t care about your HS grades, your ACT, your extra-curriculars, etc. All they really care about is your college record and your LSAT.
