<p>You would not worry about combining major GPAs; each individual class would be weighted the same. A 3.6 is a little bit below an A- average; it’s what you would get with 75% A-'s and 25% B+'s.</p>
<p>If I take your meaning correctly, your professors are saying that while you’d likely do fine getting into law school, your law school grades would suffer because your college courses were easy (“incredibly inflated”). Is that right? If this is their argument, I’d have to think about it some before replying but my intuition is to disagree.</p>
<p>Or are they saying that everybody knows that Cornell’s English grades are easy, you have no ECs and no work experience, and therefore you probably won’t get into a law school worth going to? If this is their argument, I think they’re wrong because none of that matters.</p>
<p>For admissions purposes, you are a 179/3.28, and I think you’re very likely to get into a T14.</p>

<p>We just had a thread that for some reason was deleted, and I don’t know why. I was hoping to reference it here.

<p>In general, my thoughts are as follows:</p>
<p>1.) If you get into a T6, go. If not…</p>
<p>2.) If you get into a T14 with substantial scholarship, go. If not…</p>
<p>3.) If you get into a T28 with full-tuition AND if it is in the legal market where you would eventually like to work, go. This is even better if it is the premiere school in that market, which most of the T28 are. If you don’t get into any schools like this…</p>
<p>4.) Rethink whether law school is worth it. This is a very bad time to try to enter the legal market, for all the reasons that have become so famous.</p>
<p>5.) But if you are absolutely dead-set on going, then do everything you can to get the best grades you possibly can, keep your debt as low as humanly possible, and try very hard to choose a school that is the best school in its market.</p>
