What GPA do you need to get into a lets say...top 100 law school? Do law schools even consider GPAs less than 3.0?

If your GPA is below 3.0 then ace the LSAT and you'll be alright

One of my young neighbors had below a 3.0 at a top tough school, scored in the mid 160s on the LSAT and is attending a top 100 law school with some merit $. (And, before you ask, he isn't URM.)

My son got into a top 100, with a 2.8 from a strong undergraduate school and 164 lsat. He was notified at the end of May, after accepting another admission offer. He also was offered admission to other T2 schools, with 50% merit. He practiced for the lsat for a couple weeks, didn't take a course. But he's a strong test taker, 1470 sat. So even though the schools don't like to report that they've accepted students with a 2.8 (as his school didn't), they do. His school reported that the lowest GPA accepted was a 3.0.

What GPA and LSAT do I need to get into Harvard Law? Like a 3.8 and 179?

Their 75th percentile numbers are 3.92, 176. Kids above those are relatively safe, assuming you don't blow the application process itself by applying late, messing up the phone interview, or writing bad essays. Obviously most Harvard Law students (75% of them, in fact) are below that. Higher LSATs and GPAs within that pool are at an advantage, but a relatively fragile one. Personal statements have to be strong, letters of recommendation need to be well-written, extracurriculars should be solid, etc.
