<p>To OP: if you raise your GPA, and get a 170 on your LSAT, you’ll be in good shape for the schools you listed. That said, factor in the potential debt load you’d be incurring. Can’t address all the job prospect ins and outs except regarding government work: those jobs aren’t easy to come by these days. All across the country federal and state government agencies are “hiring” attorneys for no pay/no benefits/no nothing-and plenty of licensed attorneys are taking those “jobs” because they hope the experience will lead to a paying job. Let’s hope it does, but no word on whether that’s going to happen-not yet, anyway.
So consider not just the reputation fo the school you’d like to attend, but how much debt you’ll take on.</p>
