So, does this mean if i have a masters degree, and got a gpa of 4.00 for the master, it would still not effect my chances of applying to law school in a good way?
It would be a decent soft, that's it. And before you ask what a soft is, look it up. There's a search function in the forum.
If Google hates him, why are you assuming that the TLS search function isn't going to be equally mean-spirited?

True, I need to stop being so insensitive all the time. Sheesh.

I'm not sure it's all that decent of a soft. Like 25% of all law school admits have a graduate degree...
It's by no means a gamechanger, but it could certainly help, even if just a little bit.
