Nontraditional - T14 Possible?
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2025 5:08 pm
I am considering applying to law school and particularly a T14. I would like to understand if professional experience, a graduate degree, scientific publications, and high LSAT score could offset a poor undergraduate GPA.
A few stats:
- Undergrad in Geology, 3.1 GPA
- Masters in Geology, 4.0 GPA + college scholars award given to top 4 graduate students in the college of science
- 3 years as a geologist at a major oil and gas company
- 3 years as an environmental/energy/regulatory consultant, showing significant upward growth (currently in a manager role)
- Two peer reviewed scientific publications as primary author
- Registered professional geologist (legal license within the state)
Given my poor undergraduate GPA, could a very good LSAT score (175+?) get me into a T14?
Thank you for any advice you may have!
