Law School Discussion

In the end, the big thing is going to be what your GPA is, not what your major was. With that said, you might get a slight bump or special consideration from admission counselors who realize that your degree courses were more difficult than say basket weaving, but its not going to save you or your GPA. Especially if they are comparing you directly with another applicant with a identical GPA/LSAT, you might get the nod over the other applicant. But in general, the consensus is that it doesn't matter. 

same here. Sounds like everyone who has applied thus far probably got the email...but on a different note...talk about a nice holiday break Dec 22 until Jan 5. Where can I sign up for that?

Just got an email from UMich inviting me to apply for the Darrow. Anyone else?

All that needs to be submitted is a 500-word essay. Seems simple enough.

You're safety should be Gtown. It could also be Duke, Cornell, UVA. Or all off the above.

You'll get into those no problem, as long as you don't wait until the last minute to submit apps. I have a 172 and 3.83. Already in at Gtown, Duke, UMich, and UC Berkeley. They were my safeties to begin with, so now just waiting to hear back from the schools that i'm really shooting for. You're scores are going to get you in the door at (at least) half the schools in the top 14, no problem. The rest, if you can put together a solid application you'll be fine (of course HYS will be your reaches, but who knows with those).

Good luck.

In at Berkeley via email today. Don't know why I didn't get the love last week with the phone call, but I'll still take it!
