I went to college at Depaul with someone who is now a lawyer. 3.2 GPA is pretty good, my friend had about that when he started college. It takes a lot of time and dedication to your studies, it will be hard at times, but that's with any career that you are serious about pursuing. My friend did college and law school in about 7 years, he is now a practicing lawyer. You should apply for as many scholarships, and loans as you can. Depending on your financial situation you may be able to get some gov't grants. Professors will give you all of the help you want if you come to them.

You can still get into a decent school with a 3.2; in order to be an attorney, you have to go to 4 years of pre-law, then law school. How long it takes depends on how hard you work, but I doubt it is possible to finish in less than 6 years and even that would be pushing it. Your best optionis to talk to a counselor at a local university.

Most colleges require a 3.0 and some as low as 2.0, so you will be fine! I wish I had a 3.2!

to get a law degree means you have to have a bachelors. so go to college and actually apply yourself. if a law school holds your high school grade point against you for admittance, i would suggest hiring a lawyer to sue their pants off. aint second chances great
