What I learned going from COSC to Law School

[cookderosa]

-More than any other grad program, UG college means the least for Law School. It matters shockingly little, thanks to the USNWR rankings, which give no weight to UG. COSC/ECE/TESC will NOT hold you back!
-Non-traditional backgrounds/educations are not a problem. LS loves diversity, so non-trads are attractive.
-LSAT is huge. A single point can mean a rejection or $10k in scholarship $$. A high LSAT can overcome a low(ish) gpa, but not vice versa.
-GPA is huge. Even if its off <30 graded credits. Most "good" schools have a cutoff just north of 3.0 (generally 3.4ish)


Committed to BU Law with over $30k/yr no-strings scholarship. Currently on the waitlist at Harvard. Accepted (with scholarship) everywhere else I applied, except Yale (rejected right at the end, at the Waitlist).
I have a 4.0 from COSC (29 graded credits, BA in a year) and a 99th percentile LSAT score.
PM with questions.

Your LSAT score is phenomenal. Phenomenal! Congratulations.

I would encourage anyone here to really LISTEN to your words. Similar "truths" can be revealed in the path to med school (or other professional programs). I've met several underground applicants who are big 3 grads- you can't discuss this on the mainstream forums for traditional applicants because you'll be dismissed, but your formula is perfect.
Unique applicant + perfect GPA+ kick a$$ entrance score (necessary to "back up" the perfect GPA )
All the best to you, I hope the prospective law students reach out to you!! It CAN be done, you ARE doing it.
