What if I am not a particularly strong law school candidate based on my numbers (GPA and LSAT scores)?
With 193 ABA-accredited law schools nationwide, some less-than-impressive candidates get accepted to law school. There are strategies for marginal applicants to increase their chances of acceptance. Taking some time off before law school might allow one to strengthen the non-academic part of one’s record. Letter writers might be willing and able to explain why your GPA doesn’t accurately reflect your actual promise or ability. Night school or part-time school, often with easier admission criteria, might be an option.
