GPA Hovering Around 3.0
How important is it for my GPA to fall above the 3.0 line as a URM with a high LSAT aiming for the top 10? Is 3.0-ish already too low for CCN? Will my GPA kill my chances despite at high LSAT?

Re: GPA Hovering Around 3.0
3.0+ may not actually be much higher than a high 2.something, but it sure sounds and looks a lot better. Get it over if you can.

Re: GPA Hovering Around 3.0
How high an LSAT?
I would say if you can get your GPA above a 3.0 there is no reason not to try and do it.
I would say it is possible to get CCN with 3.0/175+ as a URM but there are so few instances of this that I don't know if some sort of prediction can be easily drawn.

I am right there with a 3.29(3.19 LSAC) I am hoping to get a low 170's but I am feeling like I will fall between 165-170 range. Any chance of getting into NYU or UChicago. I am also a URM with a little work experience.

Yeah, a 3.2 would make me worlds more comfortable than I am. Are there really so few URMs like this?

Re: GPA Hovering Around 3.0
I think xyz's point was that the only real record we might have of them is LSN and since they are not on there it makes them unlikely, though does not rule them out entirely.Warren Harding wrote:is that a bad thing? good thing? mean nothing?

Re: GPA Hovering Around 3.0
For a frame of reference, I'm a sub 3.0 URM with a 168 and decent WE, and my highest placements were waitlists at Illinois, Notre Dame, and Minnesota. I was rejected from Duke, Cornell, and UCLA, but then again I did apply right at the deadline for most of them...
