Effect of one bad grade Forum

How harmful is having a C+ on my transcript for getting into YHS?

For some background, I was sick during the final and bombed it. Other than that, I have a high 170s LSAT score, and still a 3.9 GPA (all my other grades range from B+ to A+). Will that C+ make law schools nervous?

I'm guessing it won't matter. But maybe it will. Only one way to find out.

If your LSAT is above their 75% stats then you are fine.




C's get degrees...

LSAT is 177, so yes, >75%

Edit: wheninlaw, damn you scared me haha. I have no sarcasm detector when it comes to law school admissions

The answer is that it shouldn't have a big effect, but that HYS are able to discriminate for any non-legally protected arbitrary reason and keep their numbers so they could discriminate against you because of the C+ or because you used a semicolon on your writing sample, and the reader has a personal gripe with semicolons dating back to the third grade when the school bully, who went by the street name "colon" pulled his pants down in front of his first crush, Sally. There's no data on the specific grades that each entering student had so it's impossible to know.
