What are my chances for USC?

Graduate School Law School

<p>I’m currently 3rd year double major political science/history undergrad with a 3.6 GPA and a 173 LSAT but i have one NP in a random philosophy course not related to my major in anyway. Do i have a solid chance of getting into USC? Will that NP (which is calculated as an F) have a serious impact on my admission possibilities?</p>

<p>Probably fine at USC. In fact you could probably get into someplace a little more selective.</p>

<p>The NP will not count as an F, as long as your school does not treat it punitively (that is, does the NP hurt your GPA at USC?). </p>

<p>Regarding USC, you are probably in (and have a shot at the full scholly). I recommend going elsewhere, though (even if your desire is ultimately to work in LA). You have a good shot at the top 4 on down, so you should try for them (unless you nab that full scholarship at USC, of course).</p>

<p>Even if the NP does count as an F, your GPA probably drops to what, a 3.4? Still a very good chance at USC and others.</p>

<p>Hi acg912, out of curiosity what did you do in order to prepare yourself in terms of studying for the LSAT? A 173 is a great score and will take you farther than USC, consider looking at schools inside the T14.</p>
