<p>I have a few concerns. </p>
<p>First of all, I graduated last year from Sac State with a BA in history and 3.62 GPA. I took the LSAT and got a 152. I did not take any prep courses. I applied to McGeorge and was accepted on Monday and have until tomorrow to decide. They offered me a $7500 scholarship. This acceptance was a shock to me because I was ready to wait another year. </p>
<p>I was prepared to take the LSAT again to get a higher score and take a prep course and then apply to Davis and Hastings. Is it worth it to wait to get into these higher ranked schools? Should I attempt to transfer to these schools after one year at McGeorge? </p>
<p>I'm also considering getting a PhD in history or Russian History. History is my passion, though I like law as well. I wouldn't mind professing. I just hear a lot of horror stories about trying to get a teaching job that I don't know if it's worth pursuing. I would also love to work for the Dept. of State as a foreign analyst. A law degree or Phd would equally be as useful to get hired doing this. </p>
<p>Should I take the GRE, see how I do, and apply to grad school? </p>
<p>Also I interned at a District Attorney's Office during my undergrad so I'm not entirely ignorant about lawyering. Working at a DA's office is something I'm interested in as well. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Do not go to law school. Particularly not at McGeorge.</p>
<p>I must add that I am currently employed at a very crappy full time job that I absolutely hate going to every day. It pays barely above minimum wage. After one year I have not found anything better. Law school or grad school is my way out. </p>
<p>I have people begging me not to go to law school, people begging me not to go to grad school, and people begging me to go to school.</p>
<p>In my opinion, it’s not worth it unless you can get into a TOP, top school. Just based on the medians at top law schools, 3.62 isn’t bad, but that LSAT needs to be 170+.</p>
<p>My friend’s son graduated from McGeorge Law School. Could not find any full time legal job. He is now teaching HS in Nevada.</p>
<p>You are better off now, at least you are not saddled with $100K worth of debt going to a law school.</p>
<p>Don’t go to McGeorge. Enough votes yet?</p>
<p>EDIT: OP, most recommend LSAT scores to be in the 160-165+ range and 170+ to have a chance at the top schools. What do you think it’s saying about McGeorge when, absolutely no offense, they’re accepting the low 150s? Though, I am unaware of any other credentials or accolades you have obtained. I understand LSAT scores aren’t the absolute indicator of LS success or the quality of the LS, but it can be a heavy one.</p>
