Question about the law school admissions process...

<p>Do you know if the admissions looks at community college credit differently than classes taken at your university in terms of calculating your culmulative GPA?</p>

<p>What law schools do you think I can get into with a 3.5 GPA and 165 LSAT?</p>

<p>Use this link. You type in your GPA and your LSAT and it will give you a general idea of your chances. It takes into account the scores of everyone accepted and rejected and shows your chances based on those stats. Keep in mind, there is much more to the process than just numbers, so if you have some significant factors like URM status, a great soft, or some amazing work experience, your chances will be different.</p>

<p>From your experience how will the LSAC look at applicants who went to a CCC first and then transferred into a top university such as UCLA?</p>

<p>I don't think it will matter that much. They probably won't take much notice especially if you have a positive grade trend. </p>

<p>(Also, the only universities that get more of a "boost" are HYPSM. There's also a lot of Ivy incest.)</p>

<p>As for your numbers, I'd say you should target schools ranked around 20 to 30, maybe mid to lower 20s and then apply to some reaches and of course safeties.</p>
