What if my extracurriculars are less than ideal (worked at a restaurant during HS and undergrad, did some volunteering in schools, and was a catalog counselor during the summer) but I have an interesting story (went to a community college, first gen college student, worked throughout undergrad). How will this look to top tier law schools? Or do I have a chance of gaining admission with the proper numbers? I also have a 3.95 gpa from a really small school in PA.

*camp counselor

[@julianinlaw]

That is totally fine - I would just focus on the stats and you can always explain later but you're still doing good stuff (working etc.) so I wouldn't worry!

[@Daniel-pf5je]

hey as far as extracurriculars what tier would having a position in my schools veterans programs be?

[@julianinlaw]

It’s good, but not like suuuuper special I would say. Try to do leadership positions w them though!

[@Daniel-pf5je]

@@julianinlaw yea I’m all over that. Does GPA from a community college alter my chances to get into a good law school? Considering I been doing excellent since I transferred from the CC.

[@anthonyhill6140]

Does interning at the DA's office sound like good experience?

[@julianinlaw]

yes definitely!

[@RushroyaleAddicts]

I watched this whole video and I'm not even planning on attending law school. LOL.
