Where can I get in? And can I afford it?

Graduate School Law School

<p>So I have a few general questions about law school and a lot of this information isn't set in stone (quite yet!). So here are my general stats, they're 1/3 reality, 1/3 prediction, 1/3 ideal, just FYI. What do you think my chances are? I obviously want to go to the best school possible, but I'd prefer the east coast.</p>

<p>University of Missouri
Political Science Major with Honors - Cum Laude
Minor in Spanish
3.7 GPA
172 LSAT</p>

<p>I'll have about 2 or 3 organizations I'm heavily involved in and hopefully an internship or two. (Do part-time jobs help at all?)</p>

<p>But the twist is, will I be able to afford it? I'll already have some debt from my undergraduate and I know the top Law schools will be expensive. Do the top law schools have any scholarships or grants? My family is probably on the poorer side of most law school applicants. Will $100k+ be easy to pay off if I go to a good law school?</p>

<p>Anyone? Hello?</p>

<p>Another quick question, should I consider transferring to a more prestigious undergrad to help increase my chances at a good Law School? Or do you think I’m fine?</p>

<p>Law School Numbers. This is a decent and interesting website.</p>

<p>you would get responses if you had real numbers. waste of time to put in ideal or predictive numbers.</p>

<p>Go to lawschoolnumbers.com to predict your chances at various top law schools. </p>

<p>And do not transfer to a more prestigious undergrad; law schools do not care about prestige, only your LSAC GPA, since that is the only thing that factors into their ratings.</p>
