I need some advice regarding my current situation:
Undergrad GPA: 2.5
LSAT: 168

I have been working for the past two years for a defense contractor in trade compliance. I understand the negative impact my GPA will have on my application, however I do not have a gauge on whether I have a good chance of admission to a Tier 1 school. Will my work experience in a legal field at least help a little? Are there any schools in the Northeast I can target? I would like to pursue trade compliance post graduation.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

avg. PT score (15-20 PTs): 151
Awaiting Dec. LSAT score (most likely 155+ range)

Cancel and retake for T14 if you're serious about law school.

georgetown is not a peer with those others, mid 160 could do it there. Other guys will want to see higher. AA helps, but GPA is a little low. practice until you are scoring around 170 and you'll have several T14s

I include georgetown because of the location. I want to work/live in DC. Also will apply to uva but they arent splitter friendly historically
