Georgetown Law

<p>I am new to this site!</p>

<p>My aspiration is to go to law school, and my dream is to get into Georgetown. I am a sophomore at USC, thus, I have enough time to get my GPA where it needs to be. I will also be taking my LSATS in the spring semester of next school year. </p>

<p>I was wondering if you could give me any tips, advice, or average GPA's and LSAT scores for Georgetown law school admissions. I am just beginning my research into this, so any information would be appreciated. =)</p>

<p>Average GPA is 3.68, and average LSAT is 170. </p>

<p>Tips: Getting into Georgetown Law straight out of undergrad is pretty tough. Many of the strongest applicants work or go to grad school for a few years first. To start at Georgetown right after undergrad, you’ll need to pretty well surpass averages and build a strong record of community involvement.</p>

<p>Thank you for those averages. And I had no idea that the strongest applicants don’t immediately apply to Georgetown law. Is that the case for most top law schools as well?</p>

<p>For the top twenty the strongest applicants will usually have done something before undergrad, the exceptions being Berkley, UCLA, Virginia, and Michigan where I would say you have a decent shot straight out of college. Georgetown ranks at 14, so you’ll have a better shot there than at many of the schools that rank above it. Exceptional undergrads who have above the average numbers and a strong EC/work/community service record won’t see too much difficulty. The important thing to remember is that the average age for a beginning law student is now 24-25, so it is becoming more and more common for people to take a year or two off to build themselves up before applying.</p>
