Can extracurriculars in college help me get into law school?
I'm a junior about to be a senior and I have no extracurriculars. I plan on getting into things in college, but I don't know if that's good enough. I'm asking because I've seen so many people talk about their extracurriculars, and I realized that I haven't done anything and probably will not until I'm in college bc of covid and other reasons. I'm not worried about getting into college, it's law school I'm concerned about. I want to be a civil rights lawyer and I plan on joining clubs and groups in college that could help me in that field. I don't plan on going to a prestigious school or anything and I have good grades, but will my lack of extracurriculars in high school hurt me when I apply for law school? (right now I have a 3.8 GPA if that matters at all)
Hi @nesta! I'm also planning to pursue a career in law and government. Here are some of my general tips, you can directly intern for politicians or work as a legislative assistant for a candidate you support. I typically use Indeed to find internships and jobs. Or I will go to a Politician or candidate's website and find opportunities there.
I hope this helps & Good luck finding extracurriculars!
Thank you!
