hey guys...
i have a 3.5 gpa and i still want to go to a T10 school...I was wondering if it makes sense to maybe not apply for the following cycle and take some extra classes (even though ive already graduated) which i know for sure i will get an A in, in order to up that gpa.
thoughts?

ETA: Oops didn't realize you had already graduated. Rinkrat is right.

Classes taken after you earn your first bachelor's degree don't count toward your LSAC GPA.

If you already received a degree, it won't matter. Use the time to get a 172+ and you might be able to grab MVP, so don't lose hope yet.

What?! This is SUPER misleading.aerogear wrote:OP, you are in a good position.
OP, you need to score an LSAT above 170 (preferably 172+) if you want T10.
Taking a year off might make sense if you (i) work or (ii) get a master's. Otherwise, as previous posters have noted, your LSAC GPA is pretty much set in stone.

Lol what? I was strictly talking about his GPA, which he was concerned about. Obviously he has to score well on LSAT to get MVP... it's already a given.fingersxd wrote:What?! This is SUPER misleading.aerogear wrote:OP, you are in a good position.

I'm sure he is aware of this...
Also, a master's won't matter too much. His LSDAS GPA is already sufficient enough to get into the right school... and he shouldn't consider taking time off unless he performs terribly on LSAT.
