In Reply To: 3.8 gpa (finance and english)/159 lsat. white male (why wasnt i born a nigerian cripple?) from a lower half top 50 undergrad. i was wondering, since my gpa and lsat dont fit together nicely in terms of schools 75th and 25th percentiles, what top tier schools weigh gpa more than normal? i applied to mich, penn; colorado, virginia, duke, usc, ucla, wisc., ariz, and tulane; i assume im pretty much a goner for a lot of these, but i had a relatively strong undergrad. career with lots of legit. publications, graduated summa cum laude, etc. any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Message: http://officialguide.lsac.org/docs/cgi-bin/home.asp lots of good info on that site. Go to LSAC data search to plug in the numbers. Be warned that the numbers are 2001 (2002 not available yet) so it's probably going to be even tougher then that, though it's a good place to start.
