<p>I am currently a sophomore at Vanderbilt and I am wondering what things I should do to get into a decent law school. I had a good GPa during HS but I find it alot harder to maintain at Vandy (I have about a 3.0) and I can't see myself getting much higher than a 3.4.</p>
<p>I haven't taken any LSAT prep yet but I want to soon. Basically, I am wondering what are the best strategies to prepare (keep doing old practice tests, etc.)</p>
<p>Other questions:</p>
<p>How important is what you major in? (I like Psychology and Philosophy)
Aproximately, what are the break-downs of GPA/LSAT score
How important are upward trends?
I don't have many extraculiculars -- which ones look good on apps
(writing for paper, sports, ???)</p>
<p>Also -- does anyone know any 'hidden gems' or good law schools (that I can get a pretty good job) but not impossible to get into.</p>
<p>btw, I am from New York and I like being in BIG cities. (Nashville is a little too small for me). So if you can recommend schools in Washington DC, Boston, New York, Chicago I will be very grateful.</p>
<p>THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP !!</p>
