Colombia Law scholly...GPA/LSAT combo? Forum

[Broncos15]

Hello,

I am looking at Colombia law and graduating from UG in December with a ~3.68.....Would I see enough gains in terms of scholarships if I hit the median GPA ( 3.71) to make extended UG worthwhile?.....In order to get a 3.71 I would need to graduate in May since I can't reach a 3.71 in one semester.

I have already extended UG by one semester by adding a minor so I will be graduating in 4.5 yrs in Dec and May would make me a 5th year Senior ( not in a rush to get out of UG but to provide context)

Cornell ( 3.68) and Colombia ( 3.71) are the only T14 medians I can hit by May

Now If I do think of extending UG it would really only be for scholly purposes not admissions since a upper 3.6X and a low 3.7X is barely any different in the eyes of adcomms.


( I am waiting until after I graduate UG to take the LSAT regardless of wether it is December or May)

Doubt it would matter. Just focus on the LSAT and save the money

Also don't set your sites on just one school. You may get WL/rejected. Columbia has waitlisted a lot of 75th percentile people last couple cycles so it can be very random.

Did you seriously call it Colombia three times?

Haha, I've seen the country called Columbia a lot, but this is definitely the first time I've seen the reverse.
