<p>3.52 UGPA Hispanic/Latino chances @ Law school
Hispanic/Latino male student from a state university out west. Two majors not political science. GPA 3.52, projected LSAT score about 165-170. I'm prepping now, haven't officially taken it, but working for the 170. Speak 4+ languages. Received prestigious journalism fellowship, participated in two journalism internships... one high-profile.
Most interested in entertainment law, intellectual property and international law.
WHAT ARE MY CHANCES AT SCHOOLS IN NY AND LA AREA?
Most interested in Columbia, NYU, Fordham, Yeshiva, UCLA and USC.
I'm interested in Southwestern because of its entertainment law emphasis probably can get in it, but it's a tier 4 school. Is it worth it? I don't think so.
Maybe I can't be accepted in any of these schools especially Columbia and NYU.
Also interested in Loyola Marymount (LA) and Pepperdine.</p>
<p>WHAT ARE MY CHANCES REALLY? DESPITE THE LOW GPA.</p>
<p>Hofstra, Touro, Pace (White Plains, NY) and law schools in Orange County might be possible for me to get into, but again are tier 3 and 4. I don't want to settle for a bottom-ranked law school, get in debt, when the school has no specialization and I'll have a hard time getting a job and way in debt.</p>
<p>SO...
is Columbia out of the question? Is NYU?
Should I forget about UCLA or USC?
What about the others?</p>
<p>Be honest, I don't want to waste time or money... but want to pursue law.</p>
<p>THANKS!</p>
