| Full-time law program, public policy program |
I was in the law/public policy joint degree program, for which one can
apply at the beginning or after one year in either program. The law
school is quite difficult to get into. It helps a lot to be a resident
of California (quota) and it seems to help to have a touch of social
consciousness in your work experience or extracurriculars. But mostly
one must have good grades and stellar LSAT scores. The students at
Boalt are mostly young, and relatively accomplished, but not
necessarily bright. The policy school is less focused on stats and
more focused on goals and experience. The students there tended to
fall into two groups, right out of college on a stipend or scholarship
and back after years of work and ready to move onto the next step in
their career.
