Top Law Schools

what are my chances to

-Loyola
-Pepperdine

Just want to get admission, would not care if they did not offer $$$


As for $$$, what are my chances at:

-Chapman
-UCSD
-Southwestern



Pepperdine is my top choice.

oh, and i will be barely making the jan 31st deadline for all of them

you have a shot at loyola and pepperdine, but its no sure thing. you won't get money. you will however get lots of money from southwestern and chapman. as for ucsd, has that become official already?

No. He probably meant USD.

I'm in a similar situation with 3.1 and 162 looking to get into Loyola/Pepperdine. Granted my GPA is lower, but can you really expect $$ from Southwestern this late in the cycle with such stats, or is .2 that much of a difference?

i really don't know this late in the cycle, schools distribute money at different times and in different ways. southwestern is more frugal with money than chapman to begin with, so who knows.

I meant USD. excuse me.


The thing depressing me is that i will barely make the jan 31 deadline that most of these schools have, as i am waiting on a transcript to be sent (from a #$%$% city college where i took ONE FREAKING SUMMER CLASS..told them back in november to send it in)...without it LSAC wont create a GPA file for me. What a stupid way to delay applications...


And i realize that the date one applies and the chances of admission are inversely related.....sighs.

I would really like to know the answer to this as well.
