Top Law Schools

I'm debating whether I should take 2-3 additional classes to boost my projected GPA from 3.35 to 3.4 at graduation. Would it be worthwhile for me to postpone my graduation to the Summer of 2012, despite a new GPA that is still below median?

My target schools are NYU, UPenn & Cornell. What are their GPA floors?

Thanks.

Floors:

NYU-3.35
Penn-3.4
Cornell-3.3

Obviously not absolutes though, how hard or soft a school's GPA floor is varies as well.

Do you have an LSAT score?

No, probably taking the LSAT in June of 2012. I'm PTing in the 165-170 range right now.

Maybe a year gaining some work experience would be more fruitful in the long run and for the big picture.

I have a 3.23 and graduated in 3 years.

This was a huge mistake on my part.

I'd give an ovary to have a 3.3 instead of a 3.23.

I'll be 24 next year/cycle so I do have some work experience under my belt, nothing spectacular though.

Thanks for the input. Hopefully I can bring my PT scores to the 170+ range by June.
