Banking and part-time law school Forum

[Kellog9089]

Hi all,

- International, 26yrs old
- Working at one of the bulge brackets in NYC (Goldman/ JPM/ MS/ BofA) (middle office)
- LSAT 159, GPA 4.0

My LSAT would expire next year so I'll be applying to part-time law schools this year. What are the chances of getting into Fordham part-time law school with my profile? If it's not possible, I'm also considering applying to full-time law schools after 2 years with my GRE (335).

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I’d retake the LSAT if I were you.

I’d retake the LSAT if I were you.

I took it 3 times already but the scores would expire soon. Is it going to affect my application?

In that case, all you can do is apply and see what happens.

Why do you want to go to law school? I think you're better off being in banking tbh.

Do you already have a green card? In order to secure a work visa, you'll need to work for a big law firm, and while Fordham is a good school, it gives you less than a coin's flip chance of securing that kind of work.

Don't go to law school. Spend the time you'd be in class or studying networking, deepening your knowledge of finance, and finding some side business ideas. Law school is not made for people like you (those with careers already in the works). It is more of a reset for those with a post-BA false start.
