How do law schools respond to activism experience?
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:18 pm
Hello everyone,
I haven't been able to find anything in the forums on this so far, but I was curious if anybody knew how law schools responded to applicants who have experience with student activism (rallies against school administration, unionizing with grad students, etc). My dabbling in activism is not a focal point of my application, but I do think it constitutes a significant part of my undergrad experience and wanted to do my due diligence before mentioning it (whether in my resume or in my essays). I have trouble imagining school administrators being eager to admit students who might give them trouble in the future.
Any guidance/thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance
