Building off another GPA thread.

Post by redsoxfan77 » Fri Jul 23, 2010 12:11 am

Hey All,

I've decided to build off another GPA thread so that my questions might have a better chance of getting answered.

8 years ago I graduated with about a 3.0 if you average all the schools I attended. I was debating sending in an addendum dealing with working 3 jobs at once and surviving 3 murder attempts (already explained in the previous thread). Would this be a valid reason for sending in an addendum?

Since then I worked in high level group homes with at risk youth, been involved with a few charities and gone back to graduate school where I currently have a 3.9. I am aware that most schools do not factor grad school into their GPA analysis.

I was wondering what LSAT score(s) I would need to get into the following law schools.

1. USC
2. Ave Maria
3. Pepperdine
4. Notre Dame
5. Georgetown
6. Stanford (feel free to toss out 1 liners)
7. Catholic U
8. And any university you might want to suggest.

Thanks!

The only GPA that will matter is the GPA that you had when you completed your first Bachelors degree. Anything past that, in this case your 3.9, is a soft factor. Being involved with charities and community work is also a soft factor. Thats very noble of you though.

Use lawschool numbers to find the LSAT range for the schools you listed. Its a great tool because it gives you a good idea of what you need.

Good luck!
