It depends on where you are applying, but for the overwhelming number of schools it won't make any difference. The difference between a 3.25 and a 3.3 shouldn't matter for the T14s. Have you taken the LSAT and, if so, what was your score?

Then it would serve you best to completely forget about undergrad and treat LSAT prep like a full-time job for the next month. Getting into the low/mid 170s is crucial and your GPA is already below the bottom quartile for the T14s, so forget it and focus on the LSAT.180kickflip wrote:I'll be taking it in June.

Thanks for the responses. Neither option would really impact my LSAT, but it seems that you're also saying that the difference wouldn't matter much.

how would having more time to study for the LSAT not affect your LSAT?180kickflip wrote:Thanks for the responses. Neither option would really impact my LSAT, but it seems that you're also saying that the difference wouldn't matter much.

the time it would require to get A's in all the necessary classes would still leave more than enough spare time to reach burnout studying
I'm not saying that I've been reaching that level...I haven't. Just that the classes wouldnt take any of the time I need to get there.

Nothing...
Might as well use the time and money you were going to spend to study for the LSAT, save, take a vacation, get a job, take that girl you really like on a nice date, or whatever.
Just keep your current grades as high as possible and focus on the LSAT. 5 questions on the LSAT will make a much bigger different that .05 points on your GPA.
