Situation here is:
3.0 (even) from U of MD
history of grades was decent at first, atrocious sophomore year (i joined a frat... big mistake), junior year 3.5's, a's in a few summer courses
163 LSAT
Very weak and mediocre, I suppose.
What are the pro's and con's of working as a paralegal (1-3 years)? Will this strengthen an application?
What is the word on spending an extra semester/year in school to specifically raise GPA? Should I dely applications?
With what I have now, what are my realistic chances of getting into a top 40-50 law school?
BTW, i'm Asian. Is this necessarily going to be a negative, especially since most Asian's typically overachieve? |

don't work as a paralegal. it's boring and you won't learn very much...you'll just do bitch work that the associates don't want to do.
