<p>I am about to be a junior in high school, and i want to be a law major. I am already going to volunteer as a teen attorney at my local courthouse, but what else should i do to show colleges that i am passionate about being a law major?</p>
<p>There’s no such thing as a ‘law’ major, at least not in the US. If your university offers a pre-law major, you shouldn’t take it since most law schools will look poorly at it. (Such a major wouldn’t prepare you well for the LSAT, and law schools perfer to teach you in their own methods about the law). Note that pre-law undergraduate advising is different, since advisors will guide you to prepare for law school applications.</p>
<p>As I far as I can tell, law school is a mainly numbers game, and they place utmost importance on your LSAT and GPA scores. Your major doesn’t really matter - most people will take traditional liberal arts majors, or science majors if they’re planning to do something like patent law. Your extracirruculars won’t matter for law schools unlike right now, when you’re applying to colleges, but they’re soft factors for law schools.</p>
<p>I don’t know if you can really show off your interest in law school as a high schooler, since most people don’t even consider applying until college. I suggest you look around the law forum in collegeconfidential since all this info is what I gleaned from it.</p>
<p>p.s. sorry to say, but i don’t think law schools will care about your courthouse volunteering experience that you did in high school.</p>
<p>this might be an interesting thread for you</p>
