Taking the minimum req. credits or not? Forum

[Lingon]

Question:

Should I take the minimum number required credits to graduate my final semester and focus on the LSAT or take more classes in order to have a full course load? Will law schools care if I am under-enrolled in my final semester? There are a couple of interesting classes I would love to take and that will probably help me in law school. On the other hand, taking fewer credits allows me to spend more time studying for the LSAT. What do you guys think?

Law schools don't care about your course load your last semester.
If there's any chance you wouldn't get an A in the extra classes, definitely don't take them.
More time to study for the LSAT is good.

Anyone else has any suggestions?

There are practically no undergrad classes that will help you in law school. It doesn't even matter whether you could get an A in the extra classes, the only thing that matters is the LSAT. Take the minimum load, take the easiest classes you can, and dedicate your life to the LSAT.

What's your GPA? If your GPA is solid, do not waste any extra money/time. Instead, focus on your LSAT. However, if your GPA is below 3.5 and you truly believe that you can ace all the tests-Easy A/A+ (even though taking a few more classes does not have a significant impact on your overall grade), go for it.
