For Success In Life - Take Care Of The Small Stuff

As a former president used to say:
"99 percent of life is just showing up."
During any given year I speak to hundreds of pre-law students. They all want to improve their chances of admission. In life, success is usually based on working consistently and taking care of the small things. Rarely is success the result of one isolated success. This is true of:
your grades
your improvement in sports
etc, etc.
The same is true for getting into law school.

For Success In Law Admissions – Take Care Of Your Grades

For regular applicants, your grades will be the single biggest factor in your application. Therefore, you just do your best to protect your grades and not let anything interfere with them.

Law School Applications Take A Lot Of Time

Applying to law school can detract from time spent studying for your courses. Therefore, you should do your best to:
Get all aspects of the application process out of the way during the summer and early fall! This includes, applications, references, personal statements and LSAT prep.

LSAT Prep Can Take Time Away From Your Courses

Therefore, you should do the LSAT in June (or October at the latest). Doing the LSAT in June has the following advantages:
You can prepare for the LSAT in May when you are finished with school. You will still be in "exam mode" and will be able to focus more of your attention on your prep.
If you need to take the LSAT a second time – that second time will be in October.
