1. Get a 3.9+ GPA
2. Score a 175+ on the LSAT
3. Know how to write well
And then do at least two of the following (more if you falter at the above requirements):
1. Learn a foreign language or three
2. Notch some sort of spectacular athletic achievement (Iron Man triathlon, sail solo across the globe, bronze or better at the Olympics, etc.)
3. Serve a few years in the military
4. Publish a novel or a groundbreaking academic article
5. Have a few patents to your name
6. Engage in antiquated and preferably dangerous hobbies (trapeze artist, fire juggler, sword swallower, smoke signaler)
7. Master an unusual instrument (didgeridoo, lute, gong)
8. Win multiple days on Jeopardy (only one day is TTT)
9. Escape from totalitarian third world country where you were prosecuted for human rights efforts or political beliefs. Escape must be elaborate (hiding in coffin or trunk of car, donning disguise, digging tunnel, etc.)
10. Walk on the moon. (International Space Station is TTT).
