How to Improve Your Chances for Admission to Law School Testing Prepare for and take the LSAT early. Your LSAT score may determine as much as 50 percent or more of the admissions decision. Your undergraduate GPA is probably set, so a solid LSAT score is your last, best chance to improve your chances of admission. Preparation Solicit applications and financial aid forms early. Study them carefully to make sure you have all the information you need.
Volunteer Look for opportunities in a legal-related job.

At the very least, you'll gain a better understanding of what a legal career is. Advice Talk to staffers at your career center or your adviser. Ask current and former students about their law-school experiences. You can also get valuable information and application tips online.
