Summer Before Applying Plans

Post by sblock60 » Mon May 12, 2014 4:42 pm

This is a very random question, but I had taken the LSAT last year and have decided to take the year off and am applying again. I am taking the June LSAT, but am torn about what to do after the LSAT. I have two options, I could either find a local internship and hope to get an additional letter of recommendation or I have saved up money to go to Thailand and China and teach english in China for a few weeks. Any ideas on which, if any, would be more beneficial to my application. I plan on going to Thailand and China regardless, but I have the option to postpone it and go during the year or next summer. I appreciate any input / advice.

Thanks!

Random internships are a dime-a-dozen for the most part. English in a foreign country, although still pretty common, usually comes with better life stories, interview material, and is probably more fun.

In a vacuum, it would seem that China is a clear winner. But again, either will serve the official needs pretty well, just do what works better for you personally.
