The good news is that for top schools, once you're below median there isn't much of a difference between bad and very bad GPAs. Don't waste money on staying in UG longer. It won't matter much, as you won't be able to raise your GPA substantially. This is all to say, nail the LSAT. You still have a solid shot at great schools. Take a practice LSAT asap. Scroll through the LSAT threads and start studying as soon as possible. Also, read the infinite threads on here about "top50" schools. Most/all are trash if you're not trying to stay in a particular city/region. If you can't have debt, you really have to nail the LSAT to end up in a good situation. HTH

Score big on the LSAT. Don't take more UG classes for your GPA. Take the time you would be in those classes and apply it to studying for a 180 if you are dead set on using that amount of time for improvements.

No worries, just destroy the LSATs and you'll be more than fine.

I know someone that had like a 3.0 with 168 and got into GW with substantial money. Pretty sure she got into the lower T-14s as well but had to pay sticker (which wouldn't be a problem for you). So if you crush your LSATs, I think even the T-14 can be doable!

No need to repeat yourself.

But yes, everyone else has been on point. Don't waste time trying to boost your GPA (the amount of classes you would need to take to do so would be obscene). Just kill the LSAT.
