<p>Hey, I'm at Cornell junior with a 2.5 GPA and a 170 LSAT score. I took both a GMAT and an LSAT recently, with both scoring within the 98-99 percentile.</p>
<p>My mom attended American U as an undergrad.</p>
<p>Do I have a chance at American Law School?</p>
<p>no one here can give you a definite answer. Just apply and see what happens. But a 170 LSAT is way good (98%) so I think you'll be pretty successful with law school admission. My hunch is, you'll get into American U.
good luck!!</p>
<p>Based on what you mentioned in this thread, I would agree with marny. However I read your other thread and it makes the situation look dire:</p>

Freshman Year (University of Miami): 3.8
Sophomore Year (Cornell University): Failed 3 classes (Because I started my own business and it took up way too much time). Now they are placing me on forced academic leave for a semester. Cornell GPA now around a 1.7.</p>
<p>Now I have to take a semester or two at the local community college before going back to Cornell. Not counting my GPA before I transferred, my cornell GPA is extremely low.

<p>I honestly think you should take some years off working to distance yourself from your GPA. Academic probation is hard to explain in a law school application and although adcomms care most about your cumulative GPA, they also care about grade trends. A drop from 3.8 to 1.7 is very difficult to explain.</p>
