GGU is a tier 4 school. It doesn’t have much of a reputation anywhere, including San Francisco. Those who attend GGU are more likely to drop out before graduating (37% attrition rate), fail the bar (60% pass rate) or fail to get a job (77% employed after 9 months) than actually secure a decent paying job ($65,000 average starting salary in private sector).

If you go there, you most likely will have to start your own practice, do doc review, or try to join a small firm after law school if you want to go into the private sector (only 8 firms do on-campus interviewing at GGU). You could also try to work for less prestigious low-paying non-profits or maybe city government jobs.

IMO, if you can’t get into anything better than GGU, you are probably better off retaking the LSAT or forgoing law school altogether.
