@Turtles73002: I would wait until after college, get your grades as high as possible now plus just enjoy undergrad all together while it’s there. Getting work experience before law school is a good thing imo both because schools like it and it helps you figure out what you want to do because you don’t have to be a lawyer.

@Turtles73002: you will probably only make it into wustl, GW, BU tier school with a 3.4. if you can get to 3.7 you could make t14

im not sure if it would hurt to apply this cycle but it definitely wouldnt hurt to also apply next cycle and get some good work experience under your belt as well
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

work experience also greatly improves your chances

though from experience if you do decide to wait another year its still in your best interest to secure your academic letters of recommendation while youre still in school

i think the highest gpa i could possibly obtain with 2 semesters 4.0s is a 3.6 unfortunately due to how many credit i have
manifestT14acceptances
21:42
there's no way you could take summer classes right
Turtles73002
21:42
im working internship and studying lsat this summer so prob not
Turtles73002
21:43
was thinking winter classes/ delaying graduation for some extra classes tho potentially
manifestT14acceptances
21:43
is there any way you could get class credit for your internship

21:43
GET A 4.0!!!!!!! WOOOO ROOTING FOR YOU
manifestT14acceptances
21:43
it would probably be ungraded anyways though which doesnt factor into a CAS gpa anyways nvm
Turtles73002
21:44
@RightOneCaterpillar: thx i really appreciate that. I just dont know if a 3.44 vs a 3.6 would make that much of a difference. really depressing that my freshman yr is potentially gonna kill the dream lol

DREAMS DON'T DIE BUT THEY CAN CHANGE

if you do some community college classes or something before you graduate you could boost ur gpa inexpensively
manifestT14acceptances
21:45
a strong addendum and displayed upward trend can do you good. also like idk how to say this but no ones life was ever ruined because they didnt go to a t14 lmao
babybunny
21:45
also you can make it into big law from outside the t14

21:46
BUT YEA DONT GIVE UP!!!!!

is there any way to apply this cycle and submit my fall grades as i get them? want to apply as early as possible for the bump
manifestT14acceptances
21:49
thats usually the standard no? like you have to submit updated grades as they come in. idk i applied after graduating so
babybunny
21:51
you have better odds at higher ranked schools if you apply with your final (higher) GPA and some full-time work experience but if you’re not too picky then it’s fine
manifestT14acceptances
21:54
also be warned there is a school of thought that the early application bump is at least in part explained by correlation (as in people with good applications are likely to apply earlier). people usually say like "oh but it still helps to apply when there are more seats and money available" which is true but if they're going to hold onto your application until grades come in then you may as well spend that time working on writing good papers and generally enjoying undergrad

thx yall i appreciate it. guess ill see once i get the official lsat

Really nbd I think lsd is the #1 community 🫂

yeah piggybacking off of bunny if you just want BL then it might be worth applying this year but tbh if you really want t14 then it might be best to wait a little
