<p>If I graduate stanford with say a 2.9 gpa, will I have any shot at law school, or doing anything with my life at that matter?? I started with a very low gpa and wasn't able to improve it much. Have you seen good law schools accept anyone below a 3.5 gpa?</p>
<p>Almost anybody can get into some law school somewhere. Doing anything with your life is a little too broad for an Internet forum to matter, except to say that many business and political leaders have very low GPAs.</p>
<p>Many people get into excellent law schools – Duke, Georgetown, Northwestern, just to name a few – with sub-3.5 GPAs. Sub-3.0, however, is really pushing it.</p>
<p>I don`t think you have any chance whatsoever .Sorry to disappoint you .This graph proves my thesis .
[LSN</a> :: Stanford University - Admissions Graph](<a href=“Recently Updated J.D. Profiles | Law School Numbers”>Stats | Law School Numbers)
The student with the lowest GPA who got in had 3.62 and very high LSAT.If you look at the graph, you will see that Stanford considers GPA to be the most important factor.There are very few people with GPAs 3.90+ that are rejected, mainly because their LSAT was too low.However, quite the contrary, there are many people with VERY high LSAT scores that were rejected due to their low GPAs .</p>
<p>OP didn’t mention wanting to get into Stanford Law School…</p>
<p>Yes, I misread. I am sorry .</p>
<p>You’ll have to lower your expectations.</p>
<p>The average GPA at Stanford is nearly 3.6. Your 2.9 places you at the very bottom of your class.</p>
<p>“except to say that many business and political leaders have very low GPAs.”</p>
<p>Except that most of these business and political leaders were exceedingly well-connected or privileged before arriving at college, and they spent their four years madly networking with their fellow old boys…</p>
