What qualifications do I need to get into Stanford Law School?
進入斯坦福法學院需要哪些條件？
Aside from a few requirements (i.e. a bachelor's degree), there's not a single set of qualifications that will necessarily get you in. Instead, the Dean of Admissions will holistically evaluate several pieces in your application. The best answer I can give is that to qualify to get into Stanford Law School, you have to have the right "fit" with the school. This holds true at most other law schools in the country.
Law schools will ask for a few things in an application, each presumably providing information that the school weighs in making an admission decision. Stanford, and most other law schools, will request all post-secondary transcripts, an LSAT score, a resume, two or more letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. The transcripts and LSAT scores allow schools to objectively evaluate each student relative to the pool of applicants. The LSAT purports to evaluate an applicants logic, argumentative, and reading comprehension skills, while a GPA shows how well a student performed in college. You can find the general range of scores and GPAs that students at each school entered with by checking out the US News & World Report's Best Law Schools rankings, which is also available at top-law-schools.com (although I would recommend not paying too much attention to the forums there). Looking at the ranges gives a good picture for where you should be aiming for when studying for the LSAT.
法學院會明確要求申請表中應有的信息，根據這些信息法學院能大致權衡是否允許申請人入學。史丹福大學和其他大多數法學院一樣，都會要求學生提供所有的中學後的學習成績單、LSAT成績（law school admission test 法學院入校考試）、一份簡歷、數封推薦信以及一篇個人陳述。成績單和LSAT分數讓學校能夠客觀地評估每個學生在所有申請者中的相對狀況。LSAT旨在評估申請人的邏輯、論證和閱讀理解能力（LSAT考試包括三個方面的內容，每部分時間為35分鐘，另加30分鐘的寫作。這三個方面的內容分別是閱讀理解、邏輯推理及分析推理），而GPA則顯示了學生在大學的表現。你可以通過查看《美國新聞與世界報導》的「最佳法學院排行榜」找到每個學校學生的錄取分數和平均績點的大致範圍，該排行榜也可以在「top-Law-schools.com」上找到（不過我建議不要太關注網站裡的論壇）。了解這些數據範圍可以更好地幫助你準備LSAT考試。While LSAT scores and GPAs are important everywhere, each school weighs the various pieces of an application differently. Stanford is known to weigh LSAT less heavily in its decisions than peer schools. First-year students at Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, and NYU tended to have higher LSAT scores than at Stanford.
雖然LSAT分數和GPAs在任何地方都很重要，但每個學校對申請書內容的各個部分的權重也有不同。眾所周知，史丹福大學在其決策中對LSAT成績的重視程度不如同類學校。耶魯大學、哈佛大學、哥倫比亞大學、芝加哥大學和紐約大學的一年級學生的LSAT分數往往高於史丹福大學。In 2012, most first year students at Stanford had a GPA somewhere between 3.72 and a 3.93, and had LSAT scores between 167 and 172. If you want to have a decent shot at admissions, this as close as you can get to identifying "qualifications." These are just ranges, however, and having higher or lower numbers doesn't necessarily decide whether a student is admitted or not.
2012年，史丹福大學的大部分一年級學生的平均績點在3.72到3.93之間，LSAT分數在167到172之間。如果你想有一個高概率的入學機會，這是你可以得到的最接近確定「資格」的範圍，然而，這些只是範圍，較高或較低的分數並不一定決定一個學生是否被錄取。As for qualifications law schools, especially Stanford Law, want interesting students with unique, even downright odd, volunteer/work/life experiences. They want people who stand out and who come from a range of places, experiences majors, etc. You can be a trapeze artist or join the circus and they 'll want you more than if you are a boring political science major from Harvard (as long as you can make the case in your personal statement for why those experiences make you a good applicant to law school) .
法學院入學資格中，特別是斯坦福法學院，希望學生能有獨特的、甚至完全奇怪的經歷，例如志願者/工作/生活經驗。他們想要的是那些超群的人，他們來自不同的地方，專業經驗豐富，等等，你可以成為一名空中飛人藝術家或加入馬戲團，這比你是一名來自哈佛的無聊的政治學專業學生還要有幫助（只要你能在你的個人陳述中說明為什麼這些經歷能使你成為法學院申請者中的佼佼者）。
