I would retake

[kaiser]

Are you a URM? If not, then zero chance at a T20. Your focus should be largely on schools ranked 50-100.

You have several hundred posts, I'm pretty sure you know the answer to your question.

Interesting softs as in AA male who served in Iraq?

Or Interesting softs as in internships, clubs, etc?

Details would help us provide you with better advice.

Nah, that will make little to no difference. And even if it did make a minute difference, it surely wouldn't be enough to warrant admission to a T20 given your figures. As I said earlier, you should be focused on schools ranked in the 50-100 range (unless of course you retake and raise your score, if possible)

i studied pretty hard so i'm counting on my resume to get me in the door

any advice? i did it for two semesters, so i was able to get some responsibility

i'm thinking ucla and vandy will bite, don't really want to go to washu since their medians are so low

What are you talking about? Your numbers are completely out of range for all of those schools. A resume doesn't "get you in the door". Numbers get you in the door. A resume just helps push you along once you are already inside.

That will not help. They won't care if you were in a pre-law frat.

You do not have a URM claim.

What is your ethnic/racial background & nationality? How the hell would I know if you have a "URM claim" if I don't know what culture you are or what race you are?

Tons of people worked jobs during undergrad. It really doesn't make a difference.

i'm white but my step-dad is black and we lived together for a few years so i tend to identify with that culture

will law schools get mad if i put down african american on my application?

[emkay625]

A quick check of user's past posts shows he deposited and enrolled at Temple last cycle.

So, flame.

Yeah, you are definitely white then. Can't justifiably put down african american because you aren't. So apply like someone who has a 3.3 and 158 or retake to increase your chances. Thats really all there is to it. There is no advice that anyone can give you that you don't know already about this.

Anybody who didn't call troll after this post needs to take a long look in the mirror.
