How did you get into a top 25 law school with a much worse gpa?

I crushed it at a T100 and transferred.

I'm a 36 year old 2L. My GPA in undergrad was substantially worse than yours (2.52). But I was able to rock the LSAT, and that's often enough to bring out some scholarship offers. I'm at Washington & Lee on a little over a 2/3 scholarship. If you've got the ability to get above a 170, you should se...

Look into legal tech. Growing area.

Well, it's over y'all.

pass/fail gang gang

Any privacy attorneys on here? Would definitely love to chat if there are.

In-house data privacy/cyber security for a fortune 100 company with potential post-grad employment.

After a semester in as a transfer I can say I'm happy I made the move. I lucked out b/c I was able to move in w/ another law student that was a 1L at my current school so forming friendships was a bit easier for me than others have expressed ITT. But, it did take some time. Unfortunately, I did expe...

Still nothing for next summer yet

Some on Reddit got released as well..

Wonder when I'll hear something..

This thread makes me feel a lot better if I don’t get onto one at my school. I definitely plan to be involved with a lot of other things

Echoing the above, and also check lsn to see how this cycle went for people with numbers similar to yours. A quick glance at UVA 2017/2018 applicants with similar stats: 3.27/167 -> WL 3.22/168 that was WL -> Rejected 3.22/175 -> WL 2.7/175 was accepted 3.21/171 was accepted as well. Best of luck! ...

hi.

Also happy to take questions though my experience is recent. This guide helped a lot. Transferred from a lower T2 (80-100 range) to a T25.

I echo the sentiments of other posters in this thread, retake and do not waste that GPA.

anyone here leave a high paying job to get their JD? what reasons and upsides made you do it?

Yes. Simply just wasn’t happy with what I was doing (IT), but now my first summer out I’m doing a ton of data privacy

Somewhat an old fart checking in (29)

The point to wait is compelling, and I completely understand the contribution that WE can have on an application. I am leaning towards waiting a year after my undergrad, but I personally would like to go to law school as quick as possible. If i hit 175+ on my LSAT retake, I still do not believe tha...

Anyone got a Louisiana contract law outline? Yes. Sadly I don't need it now, was trying to solve a problem at work and was getting stumped. But I'll take it just so I have a reference the next time I have to learn an entirely confusing legal system. Just PM me your e-mail and I'll send it over.

Yes.

If the school you got into views the other two schools as "peer schools" you may be able to.

ex: In @ USC/UCLA..apply to UC Irvine/Davis.

Thanks for all yalls responses! I only applied to YSH because I would kill myself if I didn’t get into one of the top 3. I also went to HYPSM for undergrad which means that anything less than YSH for law school is considered a failure in my circles. Sad but true. I guess I shouldn’t expect too much...

BBQ is the TCR to this pole.

Heh...Barbecue would be a great poll, if we want a religious argument.

Texas, no question.
