WE? If 2 years or more, enjoy NU/UVA/GULC. My understanding is that schools are much more forgiving of low LSATs for URM rather than low UGPA.

That's a shame. Oh well, I'll just get my masters in something parallel to law without actually getting a JD if I can't get into a T14

NU/UVA/GULC are all in the T14.

Just get a few years WE and you will have an pretty good shot. Also, I've heard very few masters degrees are worth the money.

Sorry. WE = Work Experience. I'm starting to speak TLS :shock:

WE= Work experience. Also, I think a couple of apps to the lower T14 can't hurt. You are little late in the cycle but URM cycles are hard to predict-someone may bite.

With that low GPA, it'll also depend on what kind of URM you are.
