Just a little FYI about USC...

They look for VERY VERY VERY active people. I know three people there. Two of the three were on Student Senate. All 3 were in Omicron Delta Kappa. One was president of ODK. All 3 were in fraternities, and all 3 were officers of their fraternities. Two of the 3 were on Dance Marathon Exec/Morale. AND all 3 were honors college. I was told by a friend of mine (who is currently going to Columbia Law School) that he thought with my GPA and LSAT (practice) that I had a pretty good chance of getting in, but I also was very active in college. I was on Dance Marathon Exec, in ODK, and graduated Who's Who... which is top 50 out of all 3 classes of graduates (Spring, Summer, Winter). Oh, yeah, and one of the three was the Sullivan Award winner, which is the number 2 award at USC.

Just a little FYI for you. USC is getting tougher and tougher to get into, but if you have the right extra-curriculars (active in ZTA?) than you'll have a pretty good shot. I think trying to get a job at a law firm is a great idea, but don't forget your volunteer work!
