Harvard Law -- Extracurriculars?

Hello.

I'm interested in applying to Harvard Law in a few years. I've been accepted to the University of Southern California's Annenberg Communications School, where I'll study Journalism (haven't decided print or broadcast).

I'm wondering what sorts of extracurriculars are deemed Harvard-worthy, what Harvard is going to expect to see once application time rolls around.

Thanks so much.

Unless you're a supreme court justice, your chances are pretty slim dude. Just sayin.

So, in order to be admitted to Harvard Law School, one must be a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States--claims ananya77041.

FFS. FFS. *sigh, Cornell.

Extracurriculars are unimportant unless they are unique or extraordinary. One must demonstrate some sort of commitment. That's all.

Admission to law school depends chiefly on two factors: the LSAT score and the LSDAS GPA.

Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

^ Indeed. Law schools admissions is far more quantitatively driven than undergraduate admissions (and than medical school).
