We live
in a competitive world. One of the hardest accomplishments in higher education
is being accepted into law school. Michael W LeRoy says that we no longer
compete with potential law students who live in the same country. Modern
technology has us competing with different counterparts from around the world.
Michael W LeRoy has some advice on how you can
have an advantage over the competition. The first thing Michael W LeRoy will
advise you to do is choose the undergraduate majors that align with law school.
Pick a major that will complement the courses that law school has to offer.
Michael W LeRoy suggests that undergraduate majors such as Political Science,
Psychology and Economics are beneficial.
Your
grade point average is crucial and should be the most valuable asset of your
college record. Michael W LeRoy says that choosing an undergraduate major is
important but it does not matter what your major is if you do not excel
academically. There is not a plausible law school that will accept a student
with less than a superb grade point average. Michael W LeRoy says that you are
competing with other students around the country and the world. You want to
make your grade point average the main focus of your undergraduate years.
Be
involved in your community. Michael W LeRoy says that law schools are looking for
the well-rounded model student. They are looking for the person who is not only
intelligent but also an outstanding member of the community. You want to make
sure you have other activities on your resume to show that you know how to keep
things balanced.
Finally, Michael W LeRoy
will tell you to be well-prepared for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). If
you know you want to be a lawyer and this is your passion, then it is never too
early to take a look at what the test entails. Aside from grades and community
service, the LSATs are major criteria for getting accepted.
Michael W
LeRoy advises students that, in order to get into law school, they must have a
great combination of grade point average, community service, and high LSAT
scores.
