@stephli, I have blocked Demosthenes49 but if the two posts above are, “all that matters is your GPA/LSAT combination so take the easiest classes possible”, that’s not the full story of law school admissions. GPA/LSAT numbers are the most important things, so you’ll need to have a very high GPA, but recommendation letters and other factors do matter somewhat, although they’re far down the list.
If you get a 4.0 GPA in basketweaving and have recommendation letters saying, “this student is lazy and did not challenge herself and is not cut out for law school”, you won’t get in. If you get a 3.9 GPA in a reasonably challenging major and recommendations saying, “this was the best student I’ve had in 15 years and she’ll be an amazing law student”, you’ll get in.
The advice above is from a close family member who was a college’s advisor for grad school admissions (including law schools) and who was active with grad school admissions nationally and heavily involved with grad school admissions organizations and was told by a grad school’s admissions office (which the relative worked with closely) that candidates with stellar grades and test scores could be–and were-- rejected based on bad recommendation letters and bad performances during interviews. The relative told me that one guy who had near-perfect test scores and a near-4.0 from an Ivy was rejected because he put his feet on the table during the interview, for example.
You should be getting nearly all As, period, regardless of what you take. When I was in college, once I got the gist of studying (which took 2 semesters), I just used my regular study methods and had a 4.0 every semester thereafter. So should you.
