so im somewhat of a splitter. i have a low gpa (~2.30) in philosophy from a bigten school. i have taken the gre and received 590/710/4.5 (V/Q/A). these scores seem to qualify me for many different kinds of masters programs, but I am particularly interested in architecture or AE because I would like to eventually like to be a real estate developer.

i want to go to law school eventually but i would like to complete some other schooling before hand so that I can raise my gpa. i would like to get into a top law school, i have taken the lsat once with minimal studying and received a 163. i know i can do better if i take time studying for that. I would like to find a strong ms program to get into so that it reflects positively on my law application. however, i am fully aware that my gpa will severely restrict what programs/schools will entertain my application. so…any suggestions? where should i start my research on arch/ae programs? please any suggestions/advice is welcome and very much appreciated!
