Freshman GPA, am I screwed for top law schools?

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>I just finished my freshman year at cornell university with a 3.2 GPA studying economics. (possible double major in film or psych). I'm interested in law school but top law schools like Columbia, Harvard, Duke, Stanford, NYU, etc. have applicant GPAs betwwen 3.6-3.9. I'd have to get a 4.0 for the rest of undergrad to get those GPA scores...am I screwed for law school? </p>

<p>how do law schools calculate gpa? just straight cumulative?
thanks for your help!</p>

<p>start earning some of those A+'s at Cornell to boost your gpa.</p>

<p>Top law schools like Harvard and Stanford have gpa floors for matriculants – who cares about the applicant pool? For unhooked candidates, Harvard admits a 3.8+high lsat.</p>

<p>Undergrad college does not matter.</p>
