<p>I was wondering what my chances would be of getting into a top 30 law school program with a low undergraduate GPA but with a masters and work experience. I have an associates degree with a 3.7 GPA than I have a BS in Accounting and Finance at the University of Delaware and will be graduating with around a 3.2-3.25 GPA. I have a job with an accounting firm in NYC and I plan on getting my masters in Tax from Baruch part time. If I am able to graduate from Baruch with greater than a 3.8 gpa and get a 170 lsat or higher would that be able to make up for my low GPA?</p>
<p>Your masters gpa is irrelevant. I’m curious to what your LSDAS gpa will be, if that 3.7 and 3.25 are both two years worth of classes, exactly, it will be 3.48. With a 170 LSAT and a 3.48 gpa you’ll be able to break the t14 with good chances at Northwestern(because they love work experience) or UVA.</p>
<p>Thank you for your reply. I wasnt sure if law schools would take my first 2 years into consideration. Why wont they look at my masters GPA?</p>
<p>Because only consider all college courses (even those taken before you matriculated in college) up until the first bachelors. </p>
<p>For most grad schools the minimum gpa to graduate is 3.0. Your masters in tax will be a great soft when it comes to you looking for a job as a tax attorney.</p>
