They're not really the sort of accomplishments you can manufacture for the sake of getting into YS. For instance, this person has great softs: http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 9&t=212324.

Beyond that, good softs are good softs everywhere - it's just that you arguably need more/they matter more at YS. Demonstrate leadership, show academic excellence, build/create something, serve others. That kind of thing.

Though I agree with you, I think OP is trying to compare his situation to that of a typical (if there is such a thing) YS student, not to try to go and do things that these people have done. To answer the original question, the best way to figure this out would be to look at the schools' admitted students profile pages troll people by asking inane questions.

Yeah, I'd have more sympathy for the question if 1) info about softs wasn't otherwise readily available all over this site and 2) the OP didn't have a history of starting threads in which he commands TLS to give him the magic words that will get him in where he wants to go (as well as three separate threads asking how rich lawyers can get).
