1. Decide when you want to go to law school. While it's common to go immediately after finishing undergrad, it's actually more common to wait a year or so and work in the real world first. This is an important step because everything else is determined by this answer.

2. Get the best grades you can get, in a major you enjoy. Since law schools don't care about your major, picking something you enjoy that can help you as a lawyer, but isn't just an easier version of law school (like pre-law) can you help stand out as a candidate. Additionally, GPA is one of the most important factors of your law school application, so getting good grades is crucial.

3. Attend your school's pre-law events. Here, you get information that can help so much with your law school application.

4. Take classes that help you on the LSAT. Since the LSAT is largely logic and reasoning based, taking a course like Logic can really help you on the exam.

5. Take leadership roles in extra-curriculars that apply to what you want to do as a lawyer. For example, if you want to be an environmental lawyer, you could become president of a club that works to protect endangered species.

6. Start studying for the LSAT six months to one year before you want to take it (which should be one year before you apply to law schools.)
