<p>California is a fairly insular market. If you want to break in, you’re going to need ties to the area (or an undergrad degree in CS/EE). Do you have those?</p>

<p>3.8 is a great GPA. 158 is not a good LSAT. Luckily, while you can’t redo your GPA, you can retake the LSAT. You need to get that up to at least a 165 to start making law school a viable option. Right now, your choice of schools falls firmly into the “too expensive for too little employment” category. </p>

<p>[William</a> & Mary](<a href=“http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/wm/]William”>http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/wm/) puts about 20% of the class into firms and 10% of the class into government/PI. That adds up to a 1/3 chance you will graduate with a job that can pay back what W&M charges you. Does that sound like a good bet to you?</p>

<p>No they don’t. First, the timeline for reporting is at 9 months, not 6 months. Second, they are liars. [U</a>. Wis](<a href=“http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/wisconsin/]U”>http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/wisconsin/) puts 10% of the class into firms and about 17% of the class into government/PI. That’s about a 1/4 chance of graduating employed in a job that can pay back what U. Wis students pay to attend. Even worse odds than W&M. You should spend a good deal of time on LST looking through the employment figures of schools. Then you should retake the LSAT and hit 165 or better. Then you should come back so we can strategize a good law school plan.</p>
