Best soft factor

You have ever heard of?

Olympic gold medal
Writing a bestseller
Being an actual refugee (not just an immigrant)
Founding a successful startup
Having a building at the law school built by and named after your family.

nobel prize

sleeping with entire admissions committee and filming it

A disability resulting from a combat injury, especially Special Forces or something really badass.

:laughing:

If I were a hot female, I would surely do the same thing :slight_smile:

AA male and D1 athlete. For pure points boost, that’s the best. There are more unique softs, but IDK if any gets a bigger boost

You are probably close. Although I think a Jewish, bisexual, female AA/pacific Islander with 5 yrs WE would get you in to HYS with a 1.8 gpa and a 130 LSAT.

AA, D1 Athlete, Rhodes Scholar

Didn’t he go to the NFL?

Also, there was an actual person who came on here with those softs, along with an LSAT in the 170s and a mid 3s gpa. He was really cool and a nice guy.

No, bisexual isn’t a big boost, and usually this person would just be seen as AA female which is weaker than AA male. Also, D1 athlete is way better than 5 yrs WE

He got his M.Sc in Medical Anthro first then got drafted by the Titans but was released.

that’s too bad. I remember the bio ESPN did on him when he was at FSU. He seems like a really great guy.

But just think of the PS / DS she could write!

maybe. Then again, that person could have a completely normal life, and also, PSs and DSs aren’t a very large part of admissions

How do you figure an athlete is better than work experience? That is ridiculous!

I have both now. Being a D1 athlete and maintaining a very high gpa was much more time consuming and difficult than working. Some work is very difficult, much of it is not.

HTH

Also have both, and concur.

Consider that most people will eventually have a job of some sort. Most people will never be D1 athletes.

Of “realistic” softs, I would think military officer would probably be the best.
