Can several non paid post graduate internships count as WE?

Post by lawschoolsplit2023 » Sat Jul 15, 2023 3:28 pm

I graduated from undergrad 4 years ago in 2019. My LSAT is 178 and law school computed gpa is 2.7, though the transcript gpa was 3.5. I have a compelling reason for the gpa, due to battling cancer.

I want to beef up my work experience as much as possible and have fairly solid WE since graduating. However, there was one year where in addition to work full time after graduating, I did 5 non paid internships in one year.

When I apply to law school Fall 2024, would I be in my rights to include the batch of non paid internships on my resume. Also, when I apply to single law schools and they inquire work history can I include those? Do they inquire if each position was paid or unpaid?
