LSAT Scores are Huge!

Law school admissions advisors across the country stress the importance of applicants involving themselves in extracurriculars, striving toward a skyscraper GPA, and getting some law experience before applying.

What they fail to mention, however, is the importance of the LSAT score itself.

According to Bill Griner, a law school advisement counselor with Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions, "The LSAT score is more [important] than GPA and grades combined. The four years that you spend in undergraduate school is less important than the four-hour test you have to take to get into law school. I'm not sure why that is, but it's the truth."

So if you're relying on that internship and the 4.18 GPA to get you into one of the top law schools in the country because your LSAT score is in the 140's, then you'd better rethink your strategy.

That score isn't going to cut it.
