And my double major is in economics and political science, which are both generally considered pretty weak. I have worked really hard during my undergraduate career, but the gpa is nothing to really to write home about because of what I studied. It's not like I majored in accounting, finance, or math or engineering or anything of that nature. I really don't want to have to retake, but I may do so. In your opinion, what exactly constitutes a s*** school?SilverE2 wrote:Why isn't anyone telling this person to retake?
You have a 3.82 GPA. Don't waste it on a shit school. You've got another retake, use it.
Basically, they wanted me to at least have a score logged in, god forbid I felt even worse after taking the October test.Kilpatrick wrote:I don't think anyone else is going to help you until you explain the parents thing.

I wouldn't go to UT, UCLA, Vandy, BU, Cornell, Georgetown, Duke without at least some money, the rest of the T14 I would probably go at sticker, WUSTL, GW, ND, BC with a huge/full scholarship, and every other law school I would forget unless I had a full scholarship and a job lined up.FreeLolita wrote:And my double major is in economics and political science, which are both generally considered pretty weak.

Very much like multiple LSAT scores, the schools don't give a shit what your major is. They care about GPA and highest LSAT, because THAT'S WHAT THEY REPORT TO USNWR FOR THE RANKINGS.FreeLolita wrote:And my double major is in economics and political science, which are both generally considered pretty weak.
