<p>Hi,</p>
<p>May I know what it takes to do a law postgrad if I am a business maj right now? GPA? ECA?</p>
<p>The requisite gpa depends on how highly ranked the law school is you want to apply to.</p>
<p>It is easy to get into SOME law school.</p>
<p>However, in general, unless you get into a super top law school, I would advise you not to go to law school. There is a vast over-supply of lawyers out there.</p>
<p>I am not the only one on CC posting such messages.</p>
<p>or go at night, so you don’t give up 3 years of salary</p>
<p>^+1. Law school has become the poster child for graduate school money sinkholes. It used to be that any law school could get you a decent job if you were a top student. Then the market became over-saturated and the rule became either go to a top 14 law school, get your law degree paid for, or don’t go. Now law firms are not even hiring from the top 14 NEARLY as much as they were and the loss of income on top of the most likely unavoidable debt makes law school a bad choice, IMO.</p>
<p>Yes, but a business degree with a law degree is a great combo, and should open many doors. If you want to do contract law, or be legal council within any business, you will have a leg up. Law schools, admittance is based on LSATs and GPA from college, like any graduate degree.</p>
<p>my cousin did accounting/econ undergrad, went to law school, couldn’t find anything, is getting his masters in accounting now, and is also interviewing for big 4 positions right now. quite a long road with lots of money, but he is qualified for many things. he’s also passed the bar exam.</p>
<p>I guess what I’m saying is that I agree with ELKyes, in that the combination can open up lots of doors.</p>
