Do I even have a chance at the T14 law schools?

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>I’m a junior at UCLA, an economics major and formerly a neuroscience minor (don’t have time to finish)</p>

<p>My GPA is crap right now: (3.22)
My practice LSAT is okay: 165 (Actual past LSAT; I still have to get some study material and study)</p>

<p>I’m a leader at in my fellowship, I run a small but international art boutique, and I’m currently talking to agents about getting my manuscript published.</p>

<p>Do I even have a shot at the t14? And what about UCLA/USC/Boston U?</p>

<p>definitely not. google “law school predictor” to find out what schools you should be applying to.</p>

3

<p>Are you a URM?</p>

<p>It all depends on what happens when you actually take the LSAT. Do that first. Chances later.</p>

<p>What twinkie said is absolute bs. I’d suggest you do some intense and serious studying done for the lsat, and try to aim for 170+ (it’s possible, trust me). You got accepted to UCLA, so you must have some intelligence that will enable you to succeed on the lsat (with lots of hard work of course). </p>

<p>After that, aim for the lower t14s but keep lower ranked schools as backups. Also, if you have impressive work experience after college, you may have a shot at northwestern.</p>

<p>As aforementioned, URM status will help you significantly, if you have it.</p>
