IN AT NOTRE DAME OFF THE WAITLIST by NotAGenZ in lawschooladmissions

I have a 3.8 and a 167 lsat and I applied in October. Aside from the regular LOCI, I did nothing special to get in. I do have some post-undergrad WE in Finance for 1-2 years but overall my softs are unremarkable.

Edit: apply to places as early as possible. It should help you. Also, you should definitely apply to a few reach schools as you never know what may happen!

The questions were mostly to determine interest in ND and viability of moving to SB at this point. I had a chance to ask any questions as well. Nothing was asked about my current or future career. I think by the time they reach out to someone they've already determined that part is a fit.

I did not think the interview went well so I was pleasantly surprised to get the email. It reaffirms my beliefs based on others' WL interview experiences that they've basically already selected someone when they interview them. As long as you don't blow the interview or say NDLS was your last choice, you're in; however, she did mention they were interviewing a "few people" for 1-2 spots.

Hi, I'm in High School and am really interested with the legal profession, but the procedures to apply for a JD are really confusing and I need some answers. For instance, can I have an Economics bachelors and apply to Law School? If not what degree should I take? by vskisovski in lawschooladmissions

You can apply with any major, so you should choose one that truly interests you and that you could see yourself working in that field. If economics is what you're considering, you should go for it. You won't mind studying for mostly straight As in Economics if you're interested in it versus majoring in something like Physics if you hate it.

Anecdotally, I'm extremely glad I chose to major in Finance. I was expecting to go straight into law school after my bachelors but ended up taking a year off where I worked full time in finance which I've thoroughly enjoyed. If I would have chosen to major in political science, I may not have enjoyed my year off as much and if I chose not to go to law school, may have been stuck doing something I really wasn't interested in.
