What Law Schools Accepts Students with Low undergraduate GPA?

I am currently studying for the LSAT and I want to accumalate a list of law schools of which I can apply for, but I suffer from a very low undergraduate gpa(2.48). I have a B.S. as well a MPA(very high graudate gpa 3.41) but I am not sure what law schools I should apply to for Fall 2008 that would even consider my application. Any suggestion will be great, I am looking to stay in the Southeast area i.e. Georgia, Florida, North Carolina etc..Thanks.

Yes, there are schools that will accept you with a low undergrad GPA, especially if you’ve successfully completed graduate work and have a solid LSAT score.

If you have a couple of timed practice LSATs under your belt, plug your GPA and LSAT “score” into the calculator over at lsac.org to get an idea of how likely you are to be accepted into various law schools. Different schools weight GPA and LSAT differently, but the calculator there takes this into account.

You’ll also want to take a look at the US News law rankings, which will also give you an idea of what the schools are looking for.

Always remember, too, that schools may still accept you (due to the graduate GPA, especially if there was a long break between grad school and undergrad) even though these calculators may say that it’s highly unlikely.

Good Luck!

Law schools, like other professional schools, compete for the best students, while the less popular schools will take anyone who wants to come, and if they work hard, they can make it. So don’t look at the first string schools like Stanford, Hastings and Boalt Hall, but maybe one of those that is accredited just for your state and not well known or popular. Perhaps one that has a night school, where they are less fussy. It’s not impossible, but it’s certainly not going to be easy, because however the school goes, you will still have to pass the bar exam and that will be going against students who went to the better schools. But again, it depends on what state: I suspect some are less fussy than others. I’m in California, which has way too many new lawyers per year, and the competition is fierce. Maybe in a less populated state, you’ll have better luck.
