<p>One of my friends thinks a 3.5 gpa as an English major from Appalachian State University is too low for a good law school, is it? (good as in U.S. News 50-75)</p>
<p>No. If he scores well on the LSAT he should most definitely be aiming higher than #50-75 on the US News list. However, if he does poorly on the LSAT he may have to aim lower. His GPA is fine… he should take the LSAT and see what he gets.</p>
<p>with a decent LSAT score your friend will have a more than good shot at Chapel Hill, I know someone who got a really average LSAT, not sure about his gpa but probably low as well and he got in from WCU.</p>
<p>A 3.5 in English from Appalachian State isn’t going to blow anybody away by itself, but coupled with a good LSAT score, it won’t keep anyone out of a top school, either. It’s just that few people from Appalachian State do very well on the LSAT.</p>
<p>I think he will get about a 156 on the LSAT. With that, what schools should he look at? Also, does anyone know if the following website is “fairly” accurate in regards to acceptance rates <a href=“http://www.ilrg.com/rankings/law/index.php/1/asc/Accept[/url]”>2020 Law School Rankings - Median LSAT Score (Low to High); .</p>
<p>Until you have an actual LSAT score, there’s no point in speculating. A couple of points either way can make a significant difference in determining his chances.</p>
<p>The acceptance rates on the site may be accurate, but they mean absolutely nothing. There’s no reason to pay attention to them at all.</p>
<p>Yes, the online odds predictors are fairly good, once you have an actual LSAT score to work with.</p>
