Is there a link that you could give me that goes into more details about this? I tried a quick Google search without much luck.
All ABA law schools go through LSAC for their applications (transcript submissions, LSAT scores, etc). Here is LSAC’s GPA recalculation politicy:
https://www.lsac.org/aboutlsac/policies/...marization
If you have under 60 grades credits, they don’t calculate a GPA for the law schools you’re applying to.
To clarify what I said above, it’s not REQUIRED that you have a GPA to apply to law school, each one has their own admissions requirements. But the highly ranked law schools use GPA and LSAT scores as their two primary criteria. Without a GPA, you’d better have a perfect LSAT. And even then it’d be an uphil battle at the top schools.
And in the field of law, degree pedigree still actually matters.
Homeschoolers have used TESU (before their age issue) for law school admission. One of the parents who moderate my Ohio homeschool Facebook page is a good example- her son graduated from TESU at age 18 and finished law school last year (age 21). He received 3 full ride scholarships to 3 different law schools. She shares her story on my blog and is happy to help parents navigate the process, but the point is that most of the myths that create fear are just that- myths.
