[quote=Anonymous]Op, I work for a graduate admissions consultancy. We help people get into top programs. I work with business schools, not law schools so there may be some differences but... Here's the basic rundown. - the gpa can be overcome by having 1) an alternative graduate level transcript in courses that are analytical in nature, 2) a steady progression of raises, promotions, increasing responsibility. - the woe is me shtick for undergrad is weak and won't sit well with admissions officers. Just own up to your poor performance, prove otherwise through your post undergrad academics, GMAT (or lsat), etc. simply put there are a lot of people who went through tough times in the undergrad careers but left with good gpas. - focus on leadership at work. Take on big projects. Have impact. - get some extracurriculars going on ASAP. [/quote]
