Your view of law school admissions is pretty accurate. GPA and LSAT are by far the most important. Your undergraduate institution matters but only a little bit. You want your GPA to be around the median of the entering class GPA (3.89 for Yale). My advice is to be conservative your first semester and take mostly humanities classes. See how you’re doing. If your GPA is solid, branch out and take some of those classes that you’re not as sure about. Remember, you can PDF up to four classes.
