Roadmap to Getting into Law School: Pre-Law
08/21/23 • 25 min
This is the first episode of the Roadmap to Law School series. In this episode, we discuss our own pre-law experiences and provide suggestions for those of you who have yet to reach some of the stages that precede law school. Through the lenses of high school and undergraduate studies, we will go over programs/courses, extracurriculars, volunteer and work experiences that can contribute to your portfolio, and help you get into law school.
For those of you that didn't know you wanted to go to law school until much later - don't worry! We cover this too.

Roadmap to Getting into Law School: LSAT
