Q. I will be applying to law school next year and I am concerned about my lack of job experience. I've been working consistently since I was 16, but either in sales or in the childcare industry. Will these type of jobs badly affect my chances of getting into an excellent law school? I attend a very prestigious school with a decent GPA and am an athlete as well as a board member of a large club. Should I try to get a job in another field in order to boost my application? If so, what type of positions should I be looking for. Thanks! Asked by tennisball - Mon Jul 14 20:21:38 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. The short answer is that it isn't a big factor. Most law schools focus on your LSAT score, your undergraduate GPA, and your personal statement, with each school giving more or less weight to each of those three depending on its philosophy. The vast majority of law students are coming directly from finishing their undergraduate degrees and have had no opportunity for significant employment before they apply to law school.

Q. I picked up a school catalog at school, and have always had an interest in law; but never gave it a second shot. I have an interest in all the courses that the catalog mentions lawyers should have, many of them, I've taken from self study books, the dummies series, the DIY stuff.

You need a Bachelor's degree first. The good news is that law schools don't look at your high school grades. The bad news is that they do look at your college grades -- so you have to do well when you get to college. You still have time to turn you life around.
