Looking for honest feedback
I’m trying to figure out if the law school path is even remotely attainable for me. I did poorly in undergrad (GPA of 2.4, BA in Psychology). I worked full time and went to school full time because I moved out young. I won’t share all the details, but by the time I figured out that path wasn’t for me it was far too late. I kept burning out from work and school with no support system, and this ultimately resulted in me accepting (very regretfully) that I couldn’t go full time. I improved once I went part time, but the damage was done. I graduated in 2022.
Now, as an adult with a better support system and making real adult money instead of scraping by, I am able to asses what my goals are and make progress. After doing research on requirements, I think I may have to give this up too.
Is it true that only your first bachelor’s degree GPA is taken into consideration? I would 100% go back to school for another degree if it would help, but from my understanding the LSAC only considers your first degree to compare you fairly to other applicants.
I know I’d need to score high on the LSAT anyway, but to feel so defeated about my chance of getting in at any school at all so early on because of my academic screw-ups earlier in life is really giving me significant pause.
If you had a GPA like mine and went anyway + got in somewhere, how did it go? Do you regret your decision?
I’m open to any feedback, you can be harsh if you feel it is justified.
