What are the chances someone with a GPA less than 2.5 will get into a tier 1 law school?

Well someone needs to fill Johnie Cochrans shoes. Might as well be an islander.

thanks guys...

my family all lives in Hawaii (I was born and raised there). I'm really looking forward to going...been living on the mainland for along time...almost 7 years...

Congrats dude! Just wondering, UH Law is tier 1? I guess I'm off to US World and News to check in on things....

 

[pclstyle]

curious: how much less than 2.5?

 

[Leper Messiah]

what were your testing scores, and what kind of classes did you take?

 

[vood0g]

LSAT score?

 

[JSang]

yeah its not as bad as people think. lsat score matters more than anything else apparently.

 

[DaiShan]

Congrats

hmmm how do you find out what schools are tier1,2,3? Does tier1 mean the top 100? BTW, congrats!

 

[CptObvious]

Tier 1 usually means top 50, sometimes top 100

Not bad, my sister who graduated Summa Cum Laude still couldn't get into Harvard. Then again Harvard probably only accepts like a 3.95 average or above.

yea my friend has a ~2.5 gpa, he did real well on his lsats. He's still waiting on a few schools though and he already got into Loyola last year but didn't go.

I think most really outstanding baristers where not outstanding students . Congrats !!

 

[shopbruin]

as per us news, it's 83. top 50 is usually tier 1, then the next 50 is tier 2, and so on.

congrats though, you had to have had good lsat's to get in. if you're instate, did they also have an instate quota? that helps so much at some schools, like... *cough* unc.

Your friend has a C+ gpa, got into a law school but didn't go??? Maybe he'll get into Harvard this year.
