<p>Ok. so my major is political science. I am a senior. I go to a relatively easy and bad state school where my GPA only amassed 2.5. It dropped last semester, but I am trying to boost it to 3.2. What are my chances of doing that only having 2 semesters left?
I have not taken the LSAT yet, but I want to shoot for the max score. Taking it this December and then February. The original plan is to wait one year after I graduate college, work for a year with a full time job and go to law school after.
I am thinking Columbia, BC, or Washington DC and New York.
I havent looked at applying yet, my professor just told me to forget it with a 2.5 gpa (which obviously I will boost this semester). </p>
<p>You can plug in the numbers [url=<a href=“http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]here[/url”>http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]here[/url</a>] and see for yourself. If you really want to go to law school, I’d defer graduation at least another year so you can pack in easy classes and get straight As. If you’re an underrepresented minority it will be a little easier to get into a decent school, but you still want that GPA up a full point and that won’t happen quickly. For LSAT, you’ll need a score that’s at least 170.</p>
<p>Also, Columbia and BC are schools but Washington DC and New York are places. Have you looked into law schools, how much they cost, their admissions requirements, and their job placement? If not, start with the link I gave earlier and then spend a few hours looking around [url=<a href=“http://www.lawschooltransparency.com/]here[/url”>http://www.lawschooltransparency.com/]here[/url</a>].</p>

<p>I don’t even have do the math, to know that one year of grades, even at a 4.0, will pull a 2.5 cumulative up to a 3.2 cumulative.</p>
<p>I agree with your professor. Forget LS.</p>
<p>Best bet: work for a few years, get a 170+ and then apply at NWU.</p>
<p>ok. any more replies?</p>
