High GPA but unremarkable academic record?

Post by hm3293 » Sat Jul 25, 2020 10:45 pm

I'm applying this cycle to most of the T14. I have a high LSAT and a 3.9 GPA but no academic achievements or awards (publications, departmental recognition etc.) I have a fair number of internships and volunteer experience but my application is otherwise fairly generic. Despite my numbers, will my application be hurt by the lack of academic material on my resume?

No. If anything, it sounds like your lack of work experience would be a negative factor, but your numbers are 90-95% of the admissions game. So your actual results are going to depend on what you mean by a "high" LSAT.

Edit: Also switching this over to your main account. No sockpuppets.
