<p>I screwed up my first couple years of undergrad due to alcohol problems. However, my gpa were consistently above 3.5 during my last 4 semesters.
So these are my final numbers:<br>
GPA: 2.8 at an ivy league institution(Govt. major).<br>
Ive been working for a year now and recently took LSAT and got a score of 172.</p>
<p>Do I have any chance of getting into a tier 1 law school? Or just a decent law school?</p>
<p>Sure, you have a great shot at a bunch of Tier 1 schools. See <a href=“http://myLSN.info/dispresults.php?sk=nt8wd[/url]”>http://myLSN.info/dispresults.php?sk=nt8wd</a></p>
<p>I’d recommend taking another year off to put some distance between you and your GPA. Do well at work and get a great recommendation from your employer and you have a good shot at Northwestern.</p>
<p>I’d recommend signing up for CAS now and getting your recs from professors sent in ASAP so that you have them on record when they have some memory of you.</p>
