How important are undergraduate grades if I intend on going to Law school? Is there a GPA range I should be within? Compared to my LSAT score is my GPA worth more?

Answer 1

You can find out what the GPA and LSAT ranges for all ABA accredited schools by typing in:

Pepperdine Law ABA 509

or

NYU Law ABA 509

or

Univeristy of Wisconsin ABA 509.

XXX school ABA 509.

This will tell you what you need to get in and get scholarships at all ABA schools.

You can also look into places like LSData or lawschoolnumbers to see similar applicants to yourself.

Answer 2

The simple answer is that admissions can be complicated. Is your GPA important? Yes. Is your LSAT important? YES.

There is no exact science to it. Each admissions office treats each application individually.

The truth is that you need to do as well as possible on both your GPA and LSAT, along with making a strong application that highlights the best parts of you.
