<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Also, there used to be a book or booklet that had about a
page per law school. I think it was put out by the AALS, Association of
American Law Schoools, and that listed a lot of the info about admission
requirements. they had a useful grid showing percentage of applicants that
got admitted with varying combinations of GPA and LSAT scores. Those kind
of "guidebooks" in annual paperback editions are also available.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Without question, your employment opportunites are
affected by the location of your school. For most schools, the employers
interviewing are nearby, almost all within the state or region. If you go
to a so-called "national" law school, you will find national law firms
interviewing, though they will be persnickety in who they will talk to,
preferring the top students only, if the placement office will let them do
that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My sense is that law schools are less interested in
taking experience and extracurriculars into account when reviewing applications
for admission. They are much more likely to be based on predominantly on
the objective criteria of grades and LSAT score. Business schools, in
contrast, are much more interested in work experience and extracurriculars,
though for them grades and the GMAT are still important, moreso, obviously, as
you proceed up to the highest echelons. But in general the B-Schools will
take a broader look at the student. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>For you to figure out where you are likely to be admitted,
get the book I mentioned or cruise the web site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Good luck.</FONT></DIV>
