GPA increased sophomore and junior year to an almost perfect 4.0 when I was taking most of my major classes in Political Science. I took most of my minor classes senior year and scored about a 3.0 in Environmental Sciences. My Freshman year of a 2.0 and my mediocre senior year has me stuck at a 2.92
Once my grades were starting to increase a professor said I would be eligible to study abroad at Oxford. He endorsed me and I spent a summer studying Political Science and Sociology there.
I graduated from college and sold insurance for Allstate and rocked at it. Makin' $$ and my boss wrote me a phenomenal letter of recommendation. I told her that I am going to take a month or two off and finish up my law school apps. She said I can have my job back whenever I want it.
My Criminal Law professor said he could write me a great letter of recommendation. Hopefully that is the case, I won't have it until the weekend.
My Environmental Law professor said he could talk about my GPA trajectory in his letter of recommendation so I do not waste my personal statement on that.
Last minute, while working on my law school applications, I decided to take the October LSAT and studied for 2 weeks with a buddy while he studied for the MCAT. The October results have not returned yet but I want to work off the assumption of a 156. I highly doubt I did any worse.
I worked all throughout college as a Trip Leader. Great job to have in college. I got paid to take people rock climbing, kayaking, etc etc... Learned a lot but I would have never been accepted for the position if I wasn't an Eagle Scout. Another very small soft depending on the person reading my application.
I plan on applying to all Environmental Law schools and still hope at a chance at Boulder or Lewis and Clark. I have not finished my personal statement but for these schools I will focus on my strong background of environmentalism. I have volunteered for the Citizens Climate Lobby and Mercy For Animals since graduating. I have a focus and I hope that will help me with my admissions into the schools that I do not have the right numbers for. But we will see... Until then, a few questions

Will a strong and focused personal statement overcome my poor numbers?
Will these letters of recommendation give me the boost necessary to have a chance at some of the better Environmental Law schools?
Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you.
