2.5 in English, 160 lsat

anywhere out there i can go on at least a partial scholarship? that isnt too bad a school?

I took out the harassment info, but I got sexually harassed, that shouldnt matter, just sticking with what I got here...2.5 in English Lit and 160

I'm not sure what advice to give you except to say I would be very, very, very careful about how I mentioned the fact that I am currently suing my university.

As far as I'm aware, 2.5 160 is getting you a full ride nowhere.

How many different professors sexually harassed you?

Also, you do not have a decent LSAT

no one in the top tier is going to give you that full ride with current numbers. Even if your you have a reason for a low gpa, your lsat sucks. You need a score that shows that your gpa is an exception and not the rule. A great test score, or other qualifying accomplishments, will help prove that you are a deserving student. Don't ask adcomms to make an exception because you have had hardship, show that that despite hardship you deserve a spot and $$$.

+1 to the question and the observation. The multiple professors sexually harassing you sounds very far fetched to me, I'm not saying that it is not true but I am saying that adcomms might regard it skeptically. I think that your addendum will be viewed with a critical eye if you present the information that you have presented here.

I don't believe this for a second.

retake your GPA. Apply. see what you get. Then retake the lsat.

How long were you held as a prisoner in Southeast Asia?

2.5 in english is impossible, lowest grade ever recorded in an English class was a B-, and that guy was "special"

As an english major, I can verify this. 3.1 gpa in psychology, 3.78 gpa in english.

How did you pull off a 2.5 in English?

You're in a tough situation buddy. 2.5 is rough.

Maybe a TTT. 2.5 is too hard to shake off.

FWIW, I got an A+ in every math/elective/other BS class I ever took. My honors english classes were HELL. 40+ page research papers critiqued to the bone, back to back, usually on old english literature, and in multiple classes at the same time. And they would only give 1-2 As for the whole class. I would rather take my boyfriend's various calculus classes than repeat that again.

Major doesn't matter, a 2.5 is a 2.5.

definitely ED to virginia, I heard they like splitters. Also if you have any high school work experience make sure you apply to northwestern

I agree but its a sliding scale of failure.
