[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=raptorsxyz]I graduated with a pretty low GPA, under 3.0, from a highly ranked school this year with a polisci degree. Any tips post-graduation to eventually head toward a high-earning career? Everyone is telling me law school and grad school is out of the question. I haven't had much internships, but I have had a lot of substantive summer jobs that show I have some work ethic. I'm also a really good communicator and I think a person that people enjoy being around. I have been networking etc, just looking for further advice. I also really want to move to NYC.

P.S. - PM me if anyone would like to talk about any more specific directions, but can't doxx yourself on an online forum

Plenty of law schools will accept you, such as Southwestern Texas School of Law, Regent University Law, etc. A degree from such an institution will open the opportunity to serve as deli assistant manager with a 50 cent raise after 6 months and a week’s vacation after a year.[/quote]

It actually is possible to get into a good law school with a low undergrad GPA, but you need to knock it out of the park on the LSAT to compensate, and unlike people who had a high GPA in undergrad, you’ll need excellent, long-term work & life experience.

So, OP may very well be a good candidate for a T14 law school if he applies a decade from now.[/quote]
