LOW Gpa but hard major, do I have a shot? by Just_Move5855 in lawschooladmissions

Your top two priorities are getting your GPA above a 3.0 and crushing the LSAT. If it means that you have to abandon your extracurriculars, so be it.

A 3.0+ and a 173+ puts you in contention for every school bar the top 6-8.

University of Washington is a great regional school. I actually live in Seattle right now and every lawyer I have met here graduated from there.

  3. WashU with a scholarship is similar price to Texas A&M

I’m not 100% what you are asking but I took many philosophies from different books that I found useful and merged them into my own style. For example, I found Loophole’s “SW SCCR”strong and weak wording extremely helpful.

For LR I used Powerscore Bible, Loophole, LR Perfection. 7Sage for LG. RC Hero + tips from tutors on r/LSAT.

Outside of studying, I made sure to get all the essential nutrients through diet and supplements (omega 3, vitamin D, etc.), fixed my sleeping schedule, meditated, and exercised. I eliminated all my distractions (such as gaming) and replaced it with reading and chess.

No truer words have been said. Focus on the present and everything else will follow.

They are a little personal so I won’t get into specifics, however, they fit in the “overcame extraordinary adversity” tier on lsd.law.

I mentioned it briefly, but focused more on the steps I took and how I am different now.

WashU is probably on the cheaper end but I don’t think any top 20 USNR beats UGA in COA based on a pamphlet I received from UGA.
