Get a good test score and don't go to DePaul unless you have a full ride and a job lined up.

It's one of 5 law schools in Chicago, a legal market that still hasn't bounced back. With most of UIUC going to Chicago it is, at best, the 4th best law school there.Tomandjerry wrote:What's wrong with DePaul if you don't mind me asking also any good schools you can refer to me
Look at the employment stats. Focus on getting a great LSAT, then come back with numbers and TLS can steer you in the right direction/

Slightly, but not really. Being a URM is a far greater bump than you internships. 75% of kids in law school have the same internships, or were clerks/paralegals/ coming from the professional world. It will give you an edge over another URM with the exact same LSAT/GPA, but that is about it.Tomandjerry wrote:Thanks but as far as two internships both dealing with crime and punishment does that help me out or no.

Tell you what, concentrate on the exam tomorrow and do your best. While you are waiting for results, you can learn all there is to know about law school admissions right here on TLS.
Good luck tomorrow.
