2.08 GPA 171 LSAT Is Law School even a possibility?
I’ll cut right to the chase as to waste as little of your time as possible.
Here are the facts:
2.08 GPA 171 LSAT URM will be submitting an ED application if I can.
• I attended university from 2016-2018 and my last semester I simply stopped attending classes without withdrawing from anything. (Even without this I already had a horrendous GPA)
• I returned to university in 2022 while working a full time and working for free at a prosecuting attorneys office after realizing that I wanted more than anything to be an attorney. I have maintained a better GPA during this time and I have retaken some classes but since all my other classes are factored in I’m still sitting at a 2.08.
• I was not aware that they would be factored in and in the mean time I’ve been studying vigorously for the LSAT. I managed to score a 171 which I originally believe secured me a spot in a t25 school.
• Following this realization, I am not even sure if I’m going to be able to get into any school with a reputable program. (I define reputable as t75)
The only reason I went back to school was to be an attorney. I’ve wanted be a lawyer since I was a kid and an attorney general since I read Dopesick. That being said, the fact that I’m out of scholarship range due to my GPA means that wherever I go to school, assuming I do get accepted, I will be taking out large loans. I don't want to pull out a loan to get a law degree from a no name college and have to “figure it out”.
Any advice is appreciated. I have used the “Chance me” tool on various websites but I have been told they are unreliable for splitters.
Edit: Thank you all so much for your support and advice.
I have begun to come up with a game plan to overcome this obstacle that includes retaking the LSAT, focusing on my letters, addendum, and personal statement. I know all of these things might seem obvious but hearing from others that there is hope really took me out of the defeated headspace I was in.
Edit 2: Illfisherman that tried to message me I apologize I did not mean to ignore your message. Please comment and I’ll respond.
