Is law school impossible to get in?

I know this question might sound silly but I’m genuinely curious. Is it doable? Do pre law students even get to live their lives still?

Making up for a Low/Average GPA - Any advice?

2 Upvotes

I have been going through my undergraduate journey so far, and I have not had the best GPA. It's not awful, by any means, as I'm at a 3.6. But I've had two semesters where my GPA has been impacted by medical and mental health reasons. I'm hoping that I can get it up to a 3.7 or 3.8 by the time I graduate, but if not, does anyone have any advice for making up for a lower GPA in preparation for law school applications?

I also had a completely different major before, and a completely different career pathway, so my path so far in undergrad is anything but linear.

2 Upvotes

I put together a discord server for the 2026-2027 cycle if anyone is interesting in forming a small group to chill, chat, and discuss personal statements or late LSATs.

Hopefully can help a bit on status updates, essay swapping, and moral support!

Internship

• Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m a third year undergrad majoring in sociology— with a concentration of law and society. I really need some tips on getting a law internship as an undergraduate…. So far all the internships I’ve applied to have been rejected. Most of them require 1-2 years of law school, and I don’t have that experience yet. I really want to expand my knowledge and experiences— but I’m just struggling to find internships throughout the years 🥲🥲. I feel like I’ve made no progress whatsoever or I’m falling behind.

Some advice on application process

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm applying this year with the goal of being enrolled in law school in the fall of 2027. I have a 3.88 GPA in a math-heavy economics bachelor of science and a 164 LSAT. I'm not dead set on big law at all because I prioritize a work-life balance or any particular kind of law, although I'm leaning towards consumer protection or real estate. I was considering applying to Suffolk's early decision program to get the full ride attached to it and because Boston is a top destination for me, but it's a safety school for me, and I was wondering if I would risk getting a similar offer at a somewhat better-ranked school. I'm hoping to minimize loans due to the predatory nature of grad school loans. My question is, would it be worth it to just apply early decision and risk losing an offer at a better school (my top choice personally would be Northeastern), or does the full ride outweigh the lower ranking? Any advice is appreciated!

Is law worth it?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I recently got an offer into an LLB program at uni, among other degrees. Ive been looking to change my degree from media because i find it so boring and unchallenging.

But im scared to commit because of how difficult people say it is, mostly because of how much reading there is. I dont mind reading but i get bored really fast and am not the fastest (probably because i dont read that much anymore lol).

However, Ive also been looking online and saw that law is ranked as difficult, but not the most difficult (under certain engineering degrees, architecture, med, etc.) which kind of subverted my expectations, because i was always under the impression that med was hardest and law came 2nd, and its making me feel weirdly confident.

Overall, i like writing, logical thinking, problem solving, and got a 85 ATAR, but am wary about the reading and the work life balance (as i really value my free time). Please share your experience, and your thoughts
