I am currently a Junion at Fordham in NY and have been planning to go to law school since god knows how long. I already started studying for the June LSAT (I know I'm crazy but I'd rather not stress about studying and actually start doing it). Here are my stats so far.
GPA: 3.82 (I foresee this semester's grades bringing it up to a 3.85-7)
Major: Philosophy/Theology minor Classical Languages
Honors? Deans List every semester so far, in the honors fraternity for Classical Languages 2 years
LSAT Cold Diag: 165 Most Recent LSATs 166, 169, 171 (I've done 3 PT so far in the last 2 weeks almost all wrong answers were LG), will be studying for the next 9 months...I got every single LSAT known to mankind along with the Powerscore bibles. Probably going to get a private tutor the last 2 or 3 months if my scores aren't consistently over 173.
Work Experience: Project Manager overseeing 30 employees in a major NYC Plumbing and Heating company since August of '09-Presnt.
Basically I was a supervisor/foreman for an apartment building built in Midtown that took 2.5 years to complete and was 110 apartments (estimated real estate value of the building=60 million lmao). I know law has absolutely NOTHING to do with pipes and sh** but the pay was really good lol. I payed my own way through school while working full time and maintaining a full time schedule.
I had to take a year off between sophomore and junior year to work 60+ hours a week because my mom needed to get surgery and didnt have the funds to do it. It was pretty much a life and death situation, so I took off to help pay for the medical expenses. (Figured this is probably something to good to write about in my personal statement; while peppering in "divorced mother, never met father, only knows father through the inmate tracking thing online, never paid child support want to be a lawyer to hate on people like this" [yea he's a convicted felon lol]). Not to sound like a sob story but it is true and I think it'll go over well with ad counsels.
Part Time (09-Present): Private Music Teacher (6 students if that matters--Percussion)
Two Summers working on a farm in Europe. (Seriously, not kidding lol...and the Euro exchange was awesome)
Volunteer: Percussion Instructor at local high school for 2 years (probably like 200 hours)
Volunteer at Cemetery as a grief counselor and translator (proficient in 4 languages (if you count ancient greek and latin lol) since freshman year (over 500+ hours)
Planning on going to some 3rd world country with my school for volunteering during winter break. It would be a week commitment so I suppose that equates to somewhere around 150 hours of service (including sleep lol)
Hobbies (

So how's this look so far for T14...I'm stressing out like crazy about where I am going to go to law school....Sure the dream is HLS but I have a soft spot for UPENN, dont ask me why there's just something about that school that's so endearing. I'll most likely go to the highest ranked school i get into though. Thanks to everyone in advance!
