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.
