Hypothetical situation:
You are a rising college senior. You have a 4.0 gpa (I know that's not reasonable, but for our purposes, just go with it) and stellar LSAT scores. You majored in Poli Sci, but also took courses in English, Economics, Sociology, Environmental Science, and many other areas.
You took an extra class per semester (5 as opposed to the typical 4 that kids at your school usually take). But here's the catch: that extra course was always a "fun" one: i.e. Drawing, Photography, Acting, etc. Would that hurt your chances at admission to a top law school? Would they read it as, "oh, she could have used that class time to study something more relevant," or would they see no issue with it?
I'd really appreciate any opinions, related experiences, etc. Thanks!
