Another fun fact: the average law student graduates w/ over 100K in non-dischargeable debt.

last fun fact: outside of the relatively small proportion of graduates who work at "biglaw" firms and make $160,000 their first year out -- the vast majority of whom attended Top 13 universities -- only a very small minority of those lucky graduates who do get a job make > $50-60. Virtually nobody makes between $60K and $160, and, again, the people who get the 50K jobs (who seriously beat the odds) are buried in debt, and have pretty limited career prospects.

In summary: really bad grades and a really bad LSAT does not mean you should go to a really bad law school; it means you should find a career path that isn't guaranteed to end in crippling debt and despair.
None of those facts were fun...I'm so confused.

tier3 wrote:I'm not a multiple question test taker. I will probably score the lowest possible score on the LSAT. My strengths are in writing term papers, speaking and essay tests.

My GPA in undergrad was 2. something just around a C or C+.
My GPA in grad school was 3.3

I'm not looking to get into a top 1 tier, or 2 tier school. I'm content with a tier 3 or 4 school.

What are my chances of getting into a tier 3 or 4 law school with a very low LSAT probably in the 120's, with a 2. something C in undergrad and 3.3 in graduate school?
Someone got into yale last cycle with a 158, so if you can just get that 120ish LSAT up about thirty points, you should be good. Try guessing on the first half of the test, then guessing on the last half, as well. You've got a 25% chance of answering any single question correctly, so if you guess on both halves you should get half of the questions right, because 25% + 25%=50%. I think that math's right. I dunno, i am a polysci major.
