Top Law Schools

So I'm taking an Arabic class at nights, possibly thinking of getting a minor in arabic, and I was wondering if i should update schools to this fact or if I should just leave it because it doesn't make a difference? I'm in 2nd committee read for USC, which is my top choice so wondering if this could be an additional boost? Thanks for the help guys!

Unless you have new grades for this class that will affect your LSAC GPA, or you just want to mention it as an aside for a legitimate update, do not email this to them. It doesn't really tell them anything and won't do you any good.

I agree, unless there is something that you are not telling us about the significance of this class.

not really, I can speak arabic, but can't read and write, so figured could be an advantage with maybe some international firm further down the road if I could read and write, but it seems that it wouldn't be a general advantage or push?

Its good in that, if it doesn't negatively affect your grades, being able to read/write arabic is lightyears better than being able to just speak it. No advantage though.
