<p>I just graduated high school and was accepted at Pitt main. I'm double majoring in history and political science. I'm wondering what I'll have to do to get into Penn's law school. I know it's very difficult, so do you think they'd accept someone like me who didn't attend Ivy League undergrad (or some equivalent) and if so, what kind of grades/LSAT scores are necessary? Thanks!</p>
<p>Your undergrad school doesn’t matter. It is the GPA you get while you are there that counts. Your major won’t matter to the law school either, but certain majors will prepare you better for the LSAT which is the other key factor along with GPA that does matter. In undergrad make sure you take classes that focus on reading comprehension, writing skills and some logic. Your current planned majors would be good for this purpose. </p>
<p>To give you an idea of the stats you will need, you can check out [University</a> of Pennsylvania - Admissions Graph | Law School Numbers](<a href=“Recently Updated J.D. Profiles | Law School Numbers”>Stats | Law School Numbers)</p>
<p>That being said, you have not even started undergrad yet. Make sure law school is something you really want to do. It is expensive, difficult and there is a tough job market. You can look at all of the threads on CC regarding this. Even if you think you still want to do it, focus on a plan B over the next four years too so that you can make a living if law school doesn’t work out for you.</p>
