Here are a few things to keep in mind:
* LSAT score is more important than GPA. Law schools put more weight on the LSAT score than the GPA. This is because the LSAT is a standardized test that measures your analytical and reasoning skills, which are essential for success in law school.
* A high LSAT score can offset a low GPA. If you have a high LSAT score, it can help to offset a low GPA. For example, a student with a 151 LSAT score and a 2.73 GPA may be competitive for admission to some law schools, while a student with a 145 LSAT score and a 3.5 GPA may not be.
* Personal statement and letters of recommendation can make a difference. In addition to your LSAT score and GPA, your personal statement and letters of recommendation can also play a role in your law school admissions chances. These documents give the admissions committee a sense of who you are as a person and why you are interested in law school. Make sure to write a well-written and thoughtful personal statement and get strong letters of recommendation from people who know you well.
Here are a few law schools that have lower medians and/or accept a greater percentage of applicants with below-average GPAs:
* University of North Dakota School of Law
* University of Wyoming College of Law
* University of Idaho College of Law
* University of Arkansas at Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law
* University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law
If you are interested in going to law school and did not get those above-average scores or grades then you should consider taking some law school preparation courses, retaking the LSAT, and/or attending a law school with a lower median LSAT score and GPA.
