I have excellent LSAT scores, several internships, great job with a top 100 company, and I worked all through college.

Absolutely. There are a great many law schools that are simply looking for warm bodies to fill their seats and to fill their coffers with money. That your LSATs are good makes you a splendid candidate.
Not to disparage your dreams of becoming a lawyer, but think about it, have you ever met a lawyer that you thought was an idiot? There are plenty of them out there, and they all went to law school. They just didn't go to a prestigious school.
However if your dreams are of Ivy League your chances are slim to none.

Schools take into account your GPA, LSAT, and life experiences - that's why you must write an essay to get into law school. Make sure that your essay is well written and either explains the reason your GPA is a little low - or really highlights the other activities which have made you a well-rounded person.
You will probably not get into an Ivy League law school, but you can certainly still get into a very good school with an essay that accounts for any discrepancies in GPA.

I had a 2.3 in college but wanted to go to Law School. So I went to grad school for a year and got a graduate degree. I applied to Law School and was accepted.
If you want to try to go to Law School then study real hard for the Law SAT and look at the 3 tier and 4 tier Law Schools. There are plenty of Law School tht will be happy to accept you. A 2.7 is fine. Good Luck, Law School has been a lot of fun so far. But also a lot of hard work!
Take a look at US news and world reports.

Sure, if you are trying for a state school. If you have the LSAT scores and internship and work experience, the GPA won't matter as much.

It all depends on the law schools you're trying for. I recommend sending out applications to a variety of schools, from very difficult acceptance chance to back ups. The important thing is to get into a law school. Once there you can get excellent grades and then transfer to a better school if you choose to.
Good luck.

Probably. GPA is just a part of the package. Make sure to write a compelling statement of goals possibly explaining why your GPA was not as high as it could have been--Like you worked your through college, you participated in extra-curricular activities. That should help. Good Luck!

Depends on which law school. Remember, GPA ain't everything.

Not a good one, if any at all.............Maybe you can take a couple of extra courses(electives) and ace them and boost your GPA...........
