I dont know about law schools, but I know the three medical schools around here wont accept (or shall i say generally wont accept) anyone that doesnt have extra-curricular activities on their application somewhere. I know of atleast one person who was told he was denied entry into UK's medical school despite having a clean record and a 4.0 GPA because he did not have any volunteerism or extra-curricular.
IN nursing school if you have anything on your record at all pretty much other than a parking ticket or a speeding ticket (though you better not have been arrested for how fast you were going or drunk when you got it) they will not let you take the NCLEX licensure exam. My school did a state wide criminal record check when i applied to get in the program and prior to taking my NCLEX next year a nation wide criminal check will be done.
