How do I enhance my chances for success in getting admitted to law school and doing well there?
There is no prescribed major or course of undergraduate study for admission to law school. Law schools are more interested in the overall rigor, challenge, and quality of an applicant?s undergraduate education than in a particular major or collection of course. Law schools desire applicants who have integrity and character. The ABA recommends that undergraduates seeking admission to law school and the legal profession pursue curriculums that enhance analytical and problem-solving skills, critical reading abilities, writing skills, oral communication and listening abilities, research skills, and task organization and management skills. Because lawyers should strive to serve others honestly and achieve justice, the ABA also recommends that law school applicants have some public/community service experience in helping other people. Alma College, its excellent academic programs and gifted faculty, as well as participation in MIAA football as a Fighting Scot, prepared me well for law school
