Another helpful hint about applying to law school: Secure your letters of recommendation early! You can have your recommenders send them into the LSAC as soon as your file is set up, even if you don't plan on applying for another couple of months. My very favorite professor in the whole wide world had a relapse of his cancer and died during the fall of my junior year. Needless to say, I was pretty upset because he was a wonderful person, and had 2 teenage kids. But I also didn't have a letter of recommendation from him. He was the prof for the criminal law classes I took in undergrad, and he was basically the reason why I wanted to go to law school in the first place.
So you never know what might happen to someone who you want to write a letter of rec for you, so get them early! I unfortunately had the worst case scenario happen to me and had to ask several people who hadn't known me for as long.
