Masters will not help.kristine88 wrote:I just graduated with my bachelors degree in Sociology with a cumilative GPA of 2.63. I want to attend law school, but I am thinking of getting my masters before entering law school, will my grades for my masters help my case? What do you guys think? Also, what are my chances of getting in to a law school in the LA area if I do really good on my LSATs?

Zero chance for UCLA/USC, medium chance with high LSAT for LMU/USD, anything else who cares. Most people will tell you only go to LMU/USD with a huge scholarship
Go get work experience and with a 170+ LSAT you could go for NU which has a chance of getting you back to California.
Umm haven't you heard? Higher education is edifying for its own sake, especially in the discipline of sociology.Bildungsroman wrote:Why would you get a masters degree if you're already planning to go to law school? Biglaw firms won't care about your masters, and you're almost definitely going to end up wanting biglaw.
I still would recommend the OP skip the masters and go immediately into a program of critical legal studies.rad lulz wrote:Umm haven't you heard?

Your grades from your masters may show maturity much like regular work experience but will not overwrite your uGPA. Why don't you take a few practice tests and see how you're feeling wrt the LSAT? The GPA thing is a tough hill to climb, and your applications may benefit from at least some time between undergrad and LS — whether you want to spend it working right out of college or continuing your education in sociology is a personal choice based on your desires and financial situation.kristine88 wrote:I just graduated with my bachelors degree in Sociology with a cumilative GPA of 2.63.

abc12345675-I will definately be taking the class before I take the LSAT in October. I have time on my side for now since I only work 6 days instead of 7 days a week and don't have a full-time school schedule to worry about. So hopefully I do very well since it looks like it's my only hope right now.
Manojustice- Thanks your helping me see what exactly to shoot for, the kind of advice I came on here to see!
Band A Long- The maturity factor was what I was going for. Looks like the only thing I should really be concentrating on right now is getting an amazing LSAT score.
Nova, obviously you have no common sense. Get a life aren't there any other important issues in you people's lives to worry about other than the fact that I type in caps? Anyone else who is only on here to be a pure annoyance please refrain from resoponding and go waste your time elsewhere.
If there's one thing that screams "maturity" it's an MA in sociology.vpintz wrote:lol. just lol.kristine88 wrote:Thanks eveyone for your advice, its greatly appreicated

Look, these people are giving you the best advice possible; Nova knows what he's talking about and I see nothing wrong with his advice; rad lulz is here just for that - the rad lulz. He also posted a flow chart that you (and others) should look at before creating a "what are my chances thread", which is what this thread basically is.kristine88 wrote:Thanks eveyone for your advice, its greatly appreicated
