Top Law Schools

If a student has served as an intern for a U.S. Embassy, how much will law schools factor that in?

It's a soft. So not very much.

Hannibal are you in law school? If not what do you do?

I put boxes into boxes for a living.

ok...this forum is full of clowns...boxes into boxes...anyone else with real insight would be appreciated.

Law schools generally care about the following:

LSAT. 60% (Predictive of law school performance)
GPA. 30% (reflects your ability to be studious and focused over a long period of time)
"Softs." 10% (Shows that you are not an automaton and have good judgement).

Amazing, world breaking softs or in special situations (urm, older applicant, etc.) the above scale may not apply.

So, your internship will either serve to market you well in the aforementioned 10% or it is world breaking. At a t6 school, I think it would be par for the course.

Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated.

TLS frowns upon alts.....it's enough to get you banned .

I'll keep that in mind

Basically, softs do not matter that much. Maybe if you were an Olympic athlete, Medal of Honor winner or something like that the soft could have an appreciable impact. If you are black, latino, or Native American, you can get into a better school than your numbers would otherwise indicate. Your internship will make little if any difference in your application cycle because law schools cannot use their students' softs to climb in the rankings. LSAT and GPA have the biggest impact on rankings, so they are basically everything that counts in an application. I suppose if you have some cool softs and the same numbers as someone without any good softs, you will be selected over that other applicant. For good or bad, law school admissions is a numbers game, and nothing you have done with your life will matter in comparison to your LSAT score.

+1

An American who interned at an American embassy? Now, if you had interned at an Iranian embassy, that would be impressive .

Who cares?

What does this have to do with learning law?

Minor soft.

This fool must have thought that his internship was going to drop the jaws of adcomms. LOL too funny, welcome to reality chump, mostly everyone you're going up against has an impressive internship under their belt. BIG DEAL.

Edit: Ugh, I misread jdhopeful's post.

Tough talk from someone averaging 9 posts a day.

Also, nobody gives a shit about your internship.

Also, GTFO.

Nothing that you would ever consider doing just because it would help your chances of getting into law school, basically. The question you really should be asking is how to improve your LSAT because, in the end, just a few points on the LSAT mean more than you could ever really do in a lifetime, soft-wise.

Also, grow up. Just because you figured out you want to go to law school doesn't mean you're worth the time it took anyone to respond to your immature comments. And really, I mean that.
