I would like to go to a top law school. What are the most important things I should consider during my academic career?

Top law schools are competitive. A good candidate for a top law school must have a diverse and rich background of experiences and will demand of him or herself excellence in traditional and difficult coursework. A bachelor's degree will be required to enter law school, but a specified or particular major is not required. Beyond having a bachelor's degree, top law schools will require a high grade point average and a strong LSAT or Law School Admission Test. Also taken into consideration will be the candidate's comprehension and expression in words, the ability for deductive reasoning and analogy, and a strong sense of creative thinking. English is probably the most important area of strength as well as business law courses.
