Question in regards to applying
Hello to all. This is my first post on this luxurious forum and I have been pondering this question for some time now. How much does joining a group such as an honors club or group in undergrad effect your chances on your law school application?

I mean, if it's something where you have to be top 10% of your institution that's worth doing if only for the resume line item. Otherwise, I have no idea.

UG honors group/club is this much __
Non-zero, but will probably only serve as a tiebreaker. If it's a group for top 10% gradeswise, you're already getting consideration for your grades. Softs like UG organizations and such are not going to help too much. That being said, if it's not really that big of a time/money commitment, hell, go for it. It won't hurt. But don't think it'll get you in anywhere over someone with the same GPA and an LSAT 2 points higher.

That pretty much answers my question. Thank you my good sir for the impact you've made on my life. I shall be forever grateful.
