<p>Hi. Here's my story.</p>
<p>When I was in my late teens and early 20s, I didn't give a damn about school (or life in general, for that matter) and it is reflected in my undergraduate transcripts. I basically flunked out of college as a Physics major and there are more Fs in my earlier transcripts than there are in a family-size can of alphabet soup. With as much damage as I did to myself by flunking out of school, it was my father who was particularly hurt by this. He is a Physics Ph.D. and always dreamed of having his son follow in his footsteps. I spent the next several years working as a waiter to support myself and didn't have much contact with my parents.</p>
<p>Many years later, in my early 30s, after having matured and gone through a complete transformation in my attitude and the way I approach life and work, I returned to the same school (they have a readmission policy which enables students who flunked out to return after a long hiatus period). I earned a 3.7 GPA in the courses I took upon returning and I finally earned a Bachelor's Degree in Physics. My father was unaware of the fact that I had returned to school, and it was probably one of the happiest days of his life (and mine) when I reunited with him and surprised him by presenting him with my Physics bachelor's degree. </p>
<p>I've spent the last 3 years since getting my Physics degree working as a member of a scientific research team, and have developed a very strong desire to become an intellectual property lawyer. The LSAT prep book tests I've taken generally score in the mid 160s (with more practice I could possibly get them in the 170 range), but my GPA (combining my 3.7 GPA since returning to school with all of my Fs and other low grades from my flunk-out years) only averages to a 2.2. Do I have any shot at all of getting into an accredited law school?</p>
