<p>At the risk of being berated again, you should know that most study abroad programs grades will not be included in your LSAC GPA if you study abroad for 6 months or less, so make sure that if you plan on this route you do stay the year. While some schools will ask to see the SA transcript (Standord comes to mind) most of the other t14 schools do not. So study abroad might not help you to raise the GPA. There are exceptions to this of course, but you should check the lsac web site for details.

<p>And while I can see that you don’t want to do things just to look good for law school apps, getting a high lsat or gpa is not really in the same category as picking an EC in undergrad thinking it will look good on your undergrad apps.</p>
