<p>Well, I hope you do well at your community college and get all A+ grades. However, I would not take a lighter than average load with the idea that you can get better grades that way, with the hope of getting into the most competitive law schools. Law schools not only look at your GPA but the rigor of the classes taken and the difficulty of your overall schedule. I don’t think you would be well advised to take a lighter than average course load without a very good, plausible reason.</p>
