That’s wrong. His GPA is wha LSAC says it is – including 4.33’s for A+'s – and that is all law schools care about.
T14* is an official notation for so-called national law schools. In other words, they place (job wise) well nationally; of course the T4 places better than #14. In contrast, most law schools are regional/local. Attending a regional law school in a place that one wants to practice and settle down can be a good idea, if it is low cost. And of course, local law schools can place extremely well in their local market.
*As an aside, where T14 came from is those are the 14 law schools that were ranked at least once in the top 10 of USNews rankings.
My advice is to continue to earn A’s, boost that GPA as high as possible by taking the LSAT after graduation. (enables another semester of A’s, and all professional schools love any kind of work experience.) Ace the LSAT and watch the tax-free merit money roll in.
Not true, with the exception of Yale and maybe Stanford. (They can be really picky as they have small classes.)
The only LS that requires work experience is Northwestern. The others are extremely happy to receive an application from anyone who is above their medians, and particularly their 75 percentile.
