A few more questions...
Thanks to everyone who replied, I'm soaking up all the helpful info! I just have a few more questions though...
Any thoughts on 1st Tier, 2nd Tier, etc? I have the 2004 US News and World Report rankings, and were a little bit confused. Some schools are ranked #1 for say environmental law, yet they are a Tier 3 school in the general ranking. Would you recommend going to a school with a higher specialty ranking, or higher overall ranking?
Did any of you start law school planning on being a defense lawyer and totally change tracks and go into international law or something? I guess I'm just wondering if changing directions in law school is as easy as changing majors in undergrad.
Lauradav, you mentioned applying to 14 schools...that seems like a lot! Is that so you had a lot of options, or were you not exactly sure where you wanted to go? How did you narrow it down after you got accepted to 9 schools? It was suggested to me to apply to about 5-7 schools, would it be in my best interest to apply to more?
I'm really starting to get nervous about the LSAT, can anyone give me pointers that got them through the few weeks prior to the test and the test itself?!! I take it October 4th and I'm skrrred!
Thanks again everyone for sharing your experiences!
