It’s great. All this info is just awesomee…really. Thank you. Helps narrow down universities… I’ve pretty much stated in my first post where I stand and all. But anyways, I’d like to know if I were aiming to Yale (or Columbia or any of the first choice law schools you’ve all mentioned) and besides great numbers -i’m working on the gpa and i’ll worry later for the lsats- what else could I do to have a better position?

It’s a little hard to find international internships from where I’m living at currently, locally it’ pretty scarce too (but still available). As I mentioned before, I would think I have a good standing compared to my fellow classmates… and several will be attending big shot schools (as I mentioned before) for LLM’s. But I would like to have an edge before applying for the JD. Maybe there’s threads about this already, but I can’t help but ask.

Would you recommend me seeking a second degree or would this be a waste? Any other sort of masters degree? Or pursuit a language scholarship (which i’d love to get anyways) or just try out right away for law school? I’d like to be as strong prospect as I possibly can… specially to seek FA.
