<p>I'm currently studying English with a cumulative GPA of 2.98 and a GPA of 3.68 in my major. I've had a large uptrend in GPA since my freshman year, going from a 2.5 to a 3.3. This semester, my target is a 3.5, which seems likely. With that said, I found a website showing the lowest GPA accepted into each law school. 2009</a> Raw Data Law School Rankings : Lowest GPA (Descending) </p>
<p>Given my GPA, it doesn't look like I'll be able to land any of the schools in the top 100. Does this mean I should pursue further education outside of law?</p>
<p>It all depends on your LSAT score. I know someone who had about a 2.9 in college who was offered merit $ by a good state U law school–certainly top 100–because he had a LSAT score about its 25th percentile. </p>
<p>If you could get your gpa up to 3.0 though it would really help.</p>
<p>BTW, I think the “lowest” gpa on your link must be the 25th percentile.</p>
<p>You just gotta believe. If you have an aspiration, follow it, and don’t let anybody tell you you can’t do it. On that note, I don’t think Yale law’s looking for a 2.98 GPA. So no, not ANY law school.</p>
<p>You never know. Yale does try to add some diversity to their student body. Try doing things to diversify your portfolio, keep increasing your grades (shoot for a 4.0 not 3.5) study your but off for the lsat and see what happens. There always are the outliers, it’s just up to you to see if you are that outlier. Good luck, i’ll be applying for Law Schools too within the next year so we’ll see.</p>
