Advice
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 10:46 am
Hi all,
I am considering applying to law school to take up IP prosecution and litigation. I currently work at a well known aerospace company as a mechanical engineer. Northwestern U is probably my number one choice right now for their early decision promised scholarship. That would take a lot of the fiscal stress off my back.
Some stats:
-currently employed for a full year and will be employed for 2 years when I apply in the Fall
-went to NYU and graduated with a 3.72 (according to the way the LSAC fixes grades), my transcript says 3.76, in mechanical engineering.
-I also received my master's in mechanical at the same time
-I just took a diagnostic LSAT and received a 168. I plan on taking the exam in June.
Does anyone have any advice for what I should focus on in my application? I took some intersection of law, policy and engineering courses in undergrad so that might help show I have been interested in a career in law. Any advice for other schools? If I can pull a 168 or a little higher on the lsat in June do you think NU ED is a good idea?
Thanks!
