So I have extra curricular activities but none of them are law related. I have tutoring, volunteering, work, healthcare related volunteering and some clubs

is this a big deal for law school admissions? looking for t14 of course

99% of law school admissions is GPA, LSAT, and URM status. At the margins, some "softs" can help, but generally only when you are an olympic athlete or rhodes scholar. Otherwise they dont really matter.
