What law schools did you get accepted to?

Question

what were the credentials (LSAT, GPA, etc.) that got you in? Any tips?

Answer 1

Hi. I graduated from Arizona State University Law School in 5/05. I went to the University of Arizona in my undergrad with a high GPA of 3.8, and got a lower LSAT of 151. However, I was coming from a school instate and that I think helped me get into ASU. It is my understanding that it's getting harder to get into many of the better (1st and 2nd tier) law schools, because there is just more applications.
My advice is to take a review course for the LSAT either from Princeton Review or Kaplan so you get a high score. Also, don't discount your letters of recommendation and personal statement. The schools do look at those!! They will also look at what work experience you've had, so fix up your resume or get some help with it from a professional.
Check out the law schools you're applying to and meet with admissions. Then at least they know your name. Also, don't put all your eggs in one basket and you have to expect that you might not get into everyone that you want. Finally, I believe networking is EVERYTHING. Talk to any lawyers or VIPS you know and ask them for help and to put a good word in. That stuff will come into play, whether or not the law school will admit it.
It's ALOT of hard work but worth it. Good luck!

Answer 2

My undergrad GPA was a 3.4, and I had a 156 LSAT.
I didn't take any LSAT classes (too expensive), but did buy a book with practice questions and went over that a couple times.

I was accepted in to the University of Dayton, Capital University, Ohio Northern, University of Toledo and Cleveland-Marshall. I was wait-listed at Case Western and Ohio State. I ended up going to Marshall on a scholarship and graduated this past spring.

The state pen is the best place to study law. You have one-on-one tutoring with lots of lawyers and judges. Real live case studies, with great diversity, all around you. Huge library almost to yourself. Your book is almost sure to become a movie bringing you lots of money. No tuition. All kinds of pluses.
