2.99 LSAC GPA/170 LSAT/Upward Trend
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2022 2:35 pm
I graduated in May 2020 with a 3.87 gpa from my degree-granting institution and had a 4.0 for two years prior to transferring there. 10-15 years ago, I was dealing with an abusive relationship and dropped many community college courses after the deadline, in addition to getting W's. My LSAC GPA is a terrible 2.99 and I have a 170 LSAT. I am a URM and a mother of two. I was super involved in college and have great references. My question is: do I stand a good chance at any T20 law school? Or at UC Irvine? I live in So Cal and for so many reasons staying here works well, but I would be open to making a move if the opportunity presented itself. Are there any schools which are generally friendly to lower GPA's with a strong upward trend? Thank you for your time!
