<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>This is a question for me specifically yet I have friends who would like to know the answer in general.</p>
<p>I am a chemical and biomolecular engineering at UPenn with a 3.1 GPA. Can I get into a good, possibly top 10 law school, if I get enough LSats. /What type of law school should I really expect to get into with only those stats.</p>
<p>With that being said, I am interning at a big 5 Pharma company in R&D and also potentially submatriculating and getting a master's in biotech at Penn so I can have more time for the real world. If I have decent ec's and stats mentioned previously and maybe get my GPA to 3.2, will I have shot at top law schools?</p>
<p>Regards,
hoppz</p>
<p>You can play with the numbers [url=<a href=“http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]here[/url”>http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm]here[/url</a>], but with a 3.2 you’ll need a mid 170s LSAT score to make law school worth attending. That said, IP law is definitely hot right now, so it is possible employers may reach deeper into the schools for qualified IP students. The best thing you can do for law school is go take some fluff classes before you graduate. Getting up to at least 3.5 will give you some breathing room on the LSAT.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply @demmost</p>
<p>Do law schools (IP specifically) take in account where youre undergrad education was/engineering GPA deflation in general. Also, If I get a better GPA with my master’s degree would that help?</p>
<p>Law schools do not take into account which undergrad institution you attended or your major. LSAC, which calculates GPA, only includes undergraduate GPA. Masters or other post-graduate degrees are not counted.</p>
