For law you can do anything. Find something that actually interests you this summer and do it. I know that sounds silly, but the truth is: No matter what you choose to do, if you’re genuinely interested in it, you will get a lot out of it. Even if the activity turns out to be kind of a bust, you will still get a lot of skills and will learn what you do and do not like.

You are aware that in the USA at least law is not an undergraduate degree? You study any major at all, then you apply to law school.

Law is a big umbrella that covers virtually all interests. Most people suggest political science as a law background, but you can go into law with a nursing / health background, music, engineering, fine arts, theater, journalism, food prep, foreign language and study abroad, activism for a cause (like gender equality, free speech, human rights, immigrant issues, homelessness or anything else that you fancy).

I strongly suggest finding your passion this summer.

Ask yourself: what do I love? And then say: No, not what everyone tells me that I should love. What do I really actually truly love?

Then go do that.

Then get As in college

Get internships in what you truly love.

Then study your fanny off for the LSAT and score in the upper 2%

You have a good chance of getting into a top law school.
