Where should I go next fall? / Should I go for a better school
« on: December 17, 2012, 10:49:46 AM »
Well, I have been out of school for 20 years. When I was in my undergraduate program, I was going through a lot personally, including being 9 months pregnant at the beginning of my junior year, when I transferred to a new school. I ended up with a 2.61 GPA.
Not happy about that, but nothing I can do about it now. I'm also a single mom, 2 young kids.
I am going to law school, but I'm trying to figure out if there would be any chance of getting into a good school. I live about 4 miles from a Cooley campus and planned on going there. My LSAT preptests are averaging around 165 and getting better every week. I'm hoping by February I'll be testing btw 170-175 consistently.
But, with that GPA, I'm thinking Cooley is the answer, even though it's not a great school. Is there any chance I could get into a better school like Michigan State or U of M?...............
I also should add, that I have two incredible letters of recommendation. They are from 10 years ago, but one is from a Macomb County, MI judge and the other is from an opposing attorney. They are both from when I was representing myself on my divorce case when they were attempting to set aside the judgement.
