General Tips

Attend LSAC Forums and law fairs to learn more about the application process and to meet with law school representatives.
Apply early.
Visit law school websites for specific information and requirements and research the schools that match your goals.
Prepare for the LSAT: Take several timed practice tests and choose a prep course that works for you. There are numerous companies that offer LSAT preparation courses. LSAC also offers a free prep course through the Khan Academy.
Get to know your undergrad pre-law advisor who you should be able to find on your school’s website.
Talk to lawyers and find out what they do.
Listen to law student stories and learn about many areas of legal practice
Take academic work as an undergraduate seriously.
Without compromising academic work, round out an undergrad portfolio with activities and leadership positions. It is better to have a meaningful role in one or two organizations than be a member in many.
