Internship Experience?

Post by Jabb » Sat Aug 06, 2016 4:26 pm

Hey Everyone,

I am wondering if you need internship experience to get accepted into the T14. Is it necessary? Do I need to intern to qualify for the T14?

I'm asking this because, I literally have no time to intern during the fall (class conflict), and I will be studying for my LSAT in the spring (taking LSAT in June) so getting an internship will be unlikely. I go to school in DC, so almost everyone interns here. Nevertheless, I am super active on campus and are in several clubs.

Thanks!

Not necessary. Could help a bit but focus on your lsat score

Thank You! I was bit curious about this question. I want to also ask, do T14 look at what you did during the summer? To be frank, I relaxed during the entire summer due to a rigerous (I understand that I am justifying) but I needed the rest. I do plan on interning next summer. I will be a rising senior next summer.

No you don't need internship experience to go to a T14. If you want to do an internship because you're interested in it, then just do it. But if you don't want to do one then you don't have to.
