<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I transferred from a decent to bad state school to a more prestigious school in Washington DC and recently graduated with an honors degree in philosophy. My LSDAS GPA is around a 3.82 if you count all transcripts from my undergrad career.</p>
<p>Anyway i’ve been flirting with the idea of going to law school for many years now but a lot of professors have been telling me to go into doctoral programs for a social science (economics) or philosophy (i did a lot of philosophy of economics as an undergraduate).</p>
<p>Anyway, after i graduated with my BA from DC i moved back to my state to take some classes to see if i wanted to carry on with the whole economics things, but right now i’m a non-degree undergrad. I’ve decided however that I want to pursue a law degree and I’m signed up for the LSAT in june. </p>
<p>The problem is that i have a class load right now that will seriously hinder the top score i can get in the LSAT. If i decided to audit or WP two classes, how would law schools perceive this? Would this be a negative? I’d include somewhere on my application that the reason i audited these classes was to see if i wanted ot pursue this academic course but eventually i wanted to change Law to my academic focus. I think i should get around a 170ish on my LSAT and I’m aiming for the top 15 schools</p>
<p>Bear in mind that my degree granting institution has already given me a degree from DC (a good one, honors + magna cum laude from a relatively prestigious school) so these classes right now at this state school are as a non-degree candidate. </p>
<p>Thanks for your help</p>
