Law School chances?

Question

My stats are 2.13GPA and 170LSAT

Where can I apply and get in? I want to stay in SoCal or Chicago.

Answer 1

Probably not unless you want to go to a non-accredited law school, which allows you to practice only in your state. I would suggest looking into ways to improve your GPA, or consider becoming a paralegal. It might be that after some career experience in law, you might make connections and show your dedication, which would influence admission committees to your favor. Good luck!

Answer 2

Holy ****, that is a hugely high LSAT score. You almost did 99 percentile. With a heavy personal statement question you could get into any good school. The law school people evaluate 70% of your application based on LSAT. 10% in activities, letters, work, race, and personal statement. Your 2.13 will only be 20% of your grade. You could definitely get into a good program like at Loyola, Chapman, and USD to name SoCal schools. Heck, I'd even apply to UCLA and USC with that score.

Your other option is to go to a private University and get a masters degree in any field and then apply to law school. This will make it so your masters grade will be the one that counts for the application. Any state masters program will give you a 3.5+ if you pass all classes. Consider doing an MBA online at Norwich University. It is accredited AND you will get a high GPA thanks to them.

Answer 3

Ann Coulter has JD, So does Clinton. You can get in if you can convince a school with everything you got. Some have gotten into MBA programs without college diploma.

Answer 4

Most graduate schools have a minimum GPA requirement of 2.5/4.0. I have never heard of any grad school which had a lower requirement.
