What extra curriculars would a solid applicant need?
I was involved in 2 clubs at school that were volunteer based. Through these clubs I volunteered at the university's legal clinic and at my local rec center tutoring students from the local middle and high school. I had a job for 2 years of my undergrad as well. No internships.Do jobs count as extra curriculars? What else would a strong applicant need in terms of extra curriculars? Also I've noticed that there really is no way for me to prove that i ever did any of these volunteering activities. Are these all just self reported or will law schools ask for proof?

Vast majority of schools mostly just care about your GPA and LSAT.

Re: What extra curriculars would a solid applicant need?
There is not a specific number of extra curricular activities a student needs. Admission committees review an application as a whole, paying particular attention to GPA and LSAT scores. It depends on the university, but some may ask for verification or a reference number while others may not. If you cannot provide a reference, you would simply explain.
Best of luck!
