Top Law Schools

So I have absolutely no job/internship experience and I plan on going to Law School straight off of College.
GPA 3.7 LSAT 165.
I'm shooting for t2s, and I just wanted to know, if this is a bad idea.
If my lack of job experience will be a factor in finding 1L summer Legal internship.
Thank you.

You will do fine. I see you attending a T30 on a partial scholarship. Get good grades, and have somewhat of a personality at OCI and you will do just as good as others who only have a couple years of experience.

I just wonder why you would be shooting for t2s with those numbers.

And you probably should delete the same post you made in the other forum.

Well, Wherever I go, I have to work hard, don't I ?
aside from that, I really like North Jersey. (Newark not so much, but North Jersey is good)
I feel like my resume would be so short stacked if I don't introduce some college internship experiences
or do Firms even care about your UD work?

You just need 1 thing to talk about at interviews, so do something interesting for a bit this summer. Get involved with some sort of charity for 1 day a week this summer, such as a soup house, habitat for humanity or anything really. Just do something, and surely something interesting will happen. Or get an interesting job, such as working on a fishing boat or something. Again, do something, anything

As long as you aren't at Northwestern, there will be tons of people in the same situation as you. Every other school has plenty of K-JD kids without significant WE.

And don't aim for T2 with those numbers. That would be a huge waste and a terrible idea.

Thank you for the responses! They were very helpful.
But I see that T2 appears to be a big no no for most.
To be specific, (as you probably inferred from my ID), I am going to apply to SHU and RU-Newark. (maybe one other school).
Rutgers taking preference over SHU.

I mean, I think if I working hard and all, RU-Newark would be a reasonable investment?
Land mid size law somewhere in northern NJ.
I'm not looking into NY at all, just NJ, so I thought it would be the best choice.

Or, do I have no idea what I'm talking about?

It really depends on how much money you can get. I think with those numbers you're looking at $20-50K from RU-Newark and somewhere around $100K from SHU. Either way I'm guessing $50-60K of debt upon graduation. Someone more familiar with career prospects from those schools could tell you if that is manageable.

your numbers are better than >95% of RU & SHU students

You should really get a job. At the very least for some life experience. How in the hell do you make it into your twenties without a hard days work? How do you like, you know, eat and pay rent and shit?
