<p>So right now I am accepted into the College, but want to transfer to SFS. Does anyone know specific instances of individuals getting into good law schools from Georgetown, as in what there GPA at georgetown was, their lsats? Im just curious, because I am thinking I may go to wash u, but my cousin went there, got straight A's, and is getting rejected from a bunch of law schools... thanks.</p>
<p>My sister had about a 3.8 at Georgetown and got into University of Chicago and Northwestern for law school, but not Georgetown's Law Center. And a sort of low-end LSAT for top 10 law schools.</p>
<p>I went to Berkeley undergrad and gtown law center. I personally think that getting a high lsat score is more important than grades. A bunch of my law school classmates had okay grades (3.4-3.5) but had incredible lsats (97th percentile and up). Conversely, I know friends who had great gpas (3.8 and up) but mediocre lsats (low 90th percentile) and got rejected or waitlisted at gtown law. There are definitely law schools that tend to put more emphasis on gpas (Chicago, Northwestern, Duke, Cornell), but most of top schools will cut you some slack on the gpa if you have stellar lsats. Law school admissions officers know that grading difficulty ranges from school to school and class to class. Thus, they rely heavily on lsats to compare students.</p>
<p>Like I said, I had plenty of classmates who were from gtown sfs. But in the end, you just have to crank on the lsat. A bad lsat score will not save you unless you have a close to 4.0 gpa from a top tier school.</p>
<p>I heard there was a way, if you're already in Gtown undergrad and that you were an excellent student, you could apply to Gtown law junior year and be accepted without taking LSATs...? Are there specific requirements to that? and how difficult is it to achieve?</p>
<p>Yeah i remember seeing something if im not mistaken, where G-town leaves a certain number of spots open or something in their Law program for their own undergrads?</p>
<p>scroll down to where it talks about early assurance...its at the bottom of the page</p>
<p>There is the early assurance program. But frankly, I don't know any of my classmates who went to gtown law under that program. The fact of the matter is that if you have over a 3.8 from SFS and get a decent lsat score, you're going to be going to a top 5 law school (Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Chicago, Columbia). I guess you have the benefit of not taking the lsat...but nobody I know did this.</p>
