Lots of good advice here. Thank you all for contributing.
Asaris, I know that my GPA is nothing to write home about, but it puts me above the 25th percentile at schools like BC, BU, Cornell, Duke, Georgetown, George Washington, NYU, etc. Aiming to beat the bottom quarter isn't much, I know, but I'm hoping that a high LSAT score might counter my less impressive GPA.
I'm taking the exam on the 12th of June, so I'll have a better idea then. I took the Kaplan prep course and scored between 170 and 176. If I can repeat the 176, I might be in business at the top schools.
Back to the issue at hand...
New England Innocence Project sounds like an interesting possibility. The whole DC think tank thing is definitely on the table, as well. I also have connections with a certain U.S. Senator and might be able to swing a policy position in her office. But as great as these opportunities sound, they just don't strike me as distinctive enough to really catch someone's eye. I'll keep thinking, but please let me know if you come up with anything else!
