What do law schools look for in an applicant?
Most law schools seek to admit a diverse group of students into their first year class. Diversity comes in many forms, including academic achievement, geographic, economic, ethnic, gender, and interests and experience. Thus, while your GPA and LSAT score are very important, they are not the only things law schools are looking for. The more you can emphasize how interesting and accomplished a person you are the more likely a law school is to be interested in you. If you are from Montana and are applying to a law school outside the Northwest you already offer geographic diversity!
