I am aiming for the top law school of the country so I could get the best education and experience on becoming the best lawyer. So to be more specific, how to get into Harvard Law School? Do they have special requests like really good SATs scores and recommendation from my school?

Answer 1

Getting into top schools is all about being an attractive applicant. There is no such thing as the perfect applicant, top law schools would look into the right applicants. Of course, since you are entering with no prior experience, the only thing you can rely on is most likely your grades. The three components that they will look at: amazing GPA and LSAT scores and, memorable and meaningful essay. You might take part in many volunteering activities which will give you an edge in your testimonials if you don’t have leadership experience in co-collicular activities.

The admissions essay is one of the most important sections that should be the main showcase of not only your writing skill, but also why you are the sparkling candidate they are looking for. Focus on the lessons and anecdotes that you’ve learned. If your GPA is borderline, you better have the argumentative skill that will convince them of your passion and willingness to learn. Good luck in your entry.
