I need some advice in terms of applying to law schools. Right now, I am a junior in undergrad (Hartwick College) majoring in French, Spanish and minoring in piano. My anticipated GPA by the time I graduate will be somewhere between 3.5-3.6. I've spent a semester in France studying the language and I hope to go the the Dominican Republic next year to study the Spanish language.
I recently became intrigued by the idea of being an international lawyer or just going into law in general. I've actually had this idea for a while but I never acted upon it because I thought they only accepted students in a pre-law program and because I thought it was impossible to get accepted to law school. I did more research and found out that I was wrong.
I'm a little confused at what my timeline should look like at this point. I plan on taking the LSAT (during this next summer most likely) and sending out my applications during the fall of next year.
Considering my GPA and my majors, which law schools do you think would be the most fitting? (assuming that my LSAT scores are halfway decent)
Also, I want to note that I don't have very much money. I'm living off FAFSA and the loans that come with it.
I also saw that there were some school that don't require LSAT scores (Iowa School of Law and Massachusetts School of Law). Should I avoid these colleges? I know Iowa School of Law has a free application so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to apply there.
Thanks for your help!
