Atul’s Answer

In order to get an admission to a law school, you need to do well in LSAT exam.
I suggest taking practice LSAT in junior or senior year of the undergraduate.
By this time, you will be well exposed to answer questions in the LSAT.
Be aware this is not an easy test. If you do not score well first time, identify your weak points and remain focus to do well in LSAT.
It does matter that Cum GPA in undergrad is respectable above 3.3.

LaTasha’s Answer

Hi Brianna, First step is knowing that you got this and ready to put in the work. Second step, as Atul stated you should do practice LSAT tests. Additionally, find an LSAT prep class or tutor. I suggest a local LSAT prep class if available over a commercial prep class. I took a local prep class and the owners offered more support, small class sizes, most up to date materials, and affordable fees. We could take the course twice before the test and if you didn't do well on the test you could come back all on the one time fee. Third step, start applying for internships with your local political offices, state legal office (State Attorney General Office, Public Defender, etc.). The internship will add valuable experience and networking opportunities as well. This could lead to you obtaining a mentor who can further assist with guidance in the legal field. Lastly, again stay confident and be ready to give it your best. I wish you the best in your career journey.
