@JacobBaska Thank you so much this was so insightful!

I'm a second year in undergrad, graduating a year early, and am applying for law school this fall. I haven't really made any stand-out connections with any of my profs, and I'm afraid it might be too late now before applications. There was one or two that gave me great writing feedback in my first year, but I'm not sure if that was memorable enough, and I didn't really talk to them.

I also have two jobs- one as a law clerk at a small firm I've been at for 3 years and have a great connection with my boss; the other, I've been a typist for a year, helping on a law prof's research at my school's law school (T20-40 range), with whom I'm very friendly. I also recently got an internship at a national law firm; my supervisors are paralegals, and I don't know them too well yet, but we're friendly.

I heard that schools want at least one academic letter if you're applying right out of undergrad, but I'm not sure at this point if a meh one would hurt me? And if I should just go the full professional letter route? And which professional letters should I prioritize?

my mar lsat diagnostic was 161, i'm aiming for 170+ in aug and T50 schools.
