How does the LSAT fit into my overall application to law school?
The two most important initial factors in an application to law school are your GPA and LSAT score, because they determine to a large extent whether your application will get a serious read, a casual read, or no read at all. The LSAT is an objective standard that law schools use to compare you to others, which is why they take it so seriously. Think of the LSAT as your chance to set yourself apart from your rival applicants. If you’re near the end of your undergraduate career there isn’t much you can do to affect your GPA anymore. But there is a lot you can do to affect your LSAT score.
