Low GPA Woes
Submitted Question:
|
I started my college career as a pre-med student and failed several of my freshman science classes – I eventually graduated with a B.S. in Business. I, consequently, have a very low GPA compared to the many other law school applicants. I’ve yet to take the LSAT, but do I really have any chance of getting into a law school in California even with a considerably high LSAT score? - GPA: 2.7 LSAT: None. |

Your law school admissions chances will depend almost entirely on your LSAT score. A score of 150 will give you a fighting chance at Golden Gate, with higher scores bringing more schools into range. Spend as much time preparing for the test as possible.
Still, you can somewhat mitigate the GPA damage with a Grade Addendum. Plan on submitting a 500-1000 word letter to each school. This letter will put a positive spin on your GPA situation – maybe something about how your lack of passion for your first-year pre-med courses resulted in a depressed GPA. Make sure to focus on your improved grade performance once you found a subject that ignited your passion. Connect the courses you performed well in with skills that are particularly useful in law school (analytical thinking, writing, etc).
