Law school dilemma

[NYULawyer]

<p>

I’ve recently been in touch with several of my professors, and they all more or less seemed to suggest that while they would not stop me, I should not bother applying, as they’ve that any and all grades from the English department are going to be incredibly inflated(despite the fact that most of the professors who taught the classes I did well in were fond of me and applauded my performance, etc…). This new reality, combined with a lack of extracurriculars and real work experience(paralegal, internships at big firms, etc…), has hit me a bit hard.

<p>I am surprised that professors are this clueless about things, or they shouldn’t bother giving out advice to young students.</p>

<p>Law schools don’t give a crap about what your major is, how difficult vs easy it is. They only care about LSAT and cumulative GPA. </p>

<p>As for employment opportunity after law school though, your choice of major from undergrad plays a role. (engineering majors have a leg up vs humanities majors)</p>
