在其它条件 (LSAT， PS， GPA， etc) 相同的情况下， which experience
is better for Law School application？ (1) top school (such as Harvard,
Stanford, Berkeley) postdoc for a couple of years, publish papers; (2) run a
technical start-up as a CEO, the start-up company may turn out a not
successful one after a couple of years. I know the critical point for law
school application is to make a good and natural connection, a good story to
tell. Please share your thoughts. Thanks a lot.

I think you should try business school as well.
As to law school application, you should hire an application consultant,
that will put you in front of the pack.

Thanks for your post. So do you think NO.2 option is better for one who
wants to enter a good law school. It is very sensible that NO.2 option is
better for one who wants to enter business school.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

ur study at law school
American law is mostly about economics, especially property and contracts, y
ou understand the policies and cases more profoundly than your fellow classm
ates.

If you want to spend all that efforts just to get into law school, I would
rather hammer the LSAT down, which would probably cost you less time and
money AND will help you a lot more in terms of the law school admission. But if you don't want to go to law school immediately and want to try out other career options, then you should just do what makes you happy if you have the choice.

Thanks. Yes I plan to do something rewarding. make some but not much money
first to have a life. and wait for green card. etc.

But if you don't want to go to law school immediately and want to try out
other career options, then you should just do what makes you happy if you
have the choice.
