Cornell is currently my first choice and I am planning on applying early decision. My LSAT is at their median score, but my GPA is lower than Cornell's median (I have a 3.81).

With one admissions cycle closing and another about to open, Tajira McCoy and her panel of law school deans field a series of questions many applicants consider at this point of the admissions cycle:

When does it make sense to reapply in the coming admissions cycle (and do I really need to change my personal statement)?

What if I decide to attend the best school that admitted me and then try to transfer next year?

What are the considerations for transfer admission, especially given new trends in legal recruitment?

And, heck, have you ever wondered why you’re doing this Our deans’ give advice to their past selves about the doors and opportunities a legal education will open for them.

All that - and more - is covered in the latest roundtable.

I know that being part of and a leader in a community especially in undergraduate studies is something the law school admission bodies like, but Im unsure of whether to not add that I was a member of a fraternity or not. On the pro-keeping it side, I did have leadership roles both formal and informal within the fraternity, and was a part of an organization that enphasized philanthropic work, but on the cons side, being in a fraternity is something that im not sure whether these admissions bodies see negatively or not. On the anti-adding it side, the pro would be that it would be less likely hurt me whether my fraternity gets in trouble in the future or the admissions board is anti-fraternity, but on the cons side of this too, if I omit that I was a part of a fraternity, I dont really have anything else that ties my into a leadership role, member of the community, or a volunteer while in undergraduate life. What do you guys think I should do? Do admissions boards want to see a person add that theyre part of a fraternity or disassociate myself from it now before application time and my senior year commences.
