How to get into a law school with an low undergraduate gpa and a high graduate gpa?

I must be honest with this post, I received a B.S. Poltical Science degree, however, I graduate with a very low gpa. Well, lets just say it is below a 2.5( terrible right)? Although my last two years of college I bounced back with my grades but we all know once you dig that hole it is hard to get out. Well, I decided to attend graduate school and I just finished getting my MPA degree with a 3.41 graduate gpa. I have always want to go to law school but I am somewhat deterred due to my low undergraduate gpa and academic probation and expulsion. I do understand that I will have to take the LSAT and do well on it to have any chances in getting into any law schools. In addition to my graduate degree, I have two years of work expereince in the law enforcement field(non-officer). Well, any suggestions that anyone can give will be great. Thanks!!!

You need to take the prep classes to be extra-sure you do well on the LSAT, and then I think you’re fine.

Law schools take grade trends into account, so they’ll see that, since you’ve been older and more mature, you’ve done really well.

I think you’ll be accepted multiple places, if that LSAT is competitive.

First and foremost your LSAT score is the most important part of getting into law school. You need to figure out what you need to get in order to get into the school you want. I have a Law School Finder on my website at the link below. You also need to figure out how to prepare on for the LSAT. I have a lot of information on preparing on my website as well. I have also written a few other tips and advice as far as getting in as well as a check list on what you need to do in order to get in. See my link below.

Employers don’t care about your grades. They want to know you graduated.
