3.5 engineering gpa/169 Forum

[personperson]

I am about to graduate this fall with a mechanical engineering degree this fall with around a 3.5 GPA from Penn State. My lsat score is a 169.

I plan on applying to all of the best law schools but I'm not sure about my GPA. All the profiles I've seen were 3.9's and 3.8's that got accepted to harvard and yale etc. But their majors were english and literature and philosophy and the likes.

Did anyone get accepted to these law schools with a lower engineering GPA?

Schools just care about the number of the GPA, not the major.

3.51 in underwater basket weaving>>>>>>3.5 in astrophysics

Your LSAT would preclude you from HYS anyway, but it's a lost cause with that GPA.

Your major won't play a factor in admissions. You also won't get HYS without an LSAT retake and a 176+ or urm status.

With your 169/3.5, you're looking at lower T14, probably with some schollies sprinkled in.
