I struggled with understanding how law school actually works - 1L grades, moot court, OCI, law review, extra curricular, diversity initiatives, etc. I had an undergrad mindset and wish I knew more about what actually mattered. I was the first to go to law school/college so I didn’t really know what I was doing. I’d connect with a current law student to learn the ropes so you know what to expect. Other than that, relax :)

Figure out what you want to practice now. You don't have the to figure it out. Hit the ground running. Then you can tailor your extra curriculars and internships. If you want to do litigation, journal and clinics and clerkships are important.
