I recently graduated with a BSEE from a tier 1 public school. Although my undergrad GPA was not stellar(3.24), I scored a 172 on the LSAT and am currently applying for law schools.
I want to do patent prosecution for BIGLAW. Will they look more at my undergrad EE grades or at my law school grades in the hiring process? I'm concerned that my low undergrad GPA will hurt my chances even if I end up going to a top 15 law school.
Also, I did undergrad research - will this help at all? |

Law school grades are all.
Your 3.24 from your undergrad will hardly be noticed. Undergrad research can't hurt, but law school grades really matter. Graduate work in a useful engineering field might matter, but you don't need to do that with an EE.
If you go top 15, and get high grades in law school, you will be a highly competitive candidate at lots and lots of places.
