I'm going to be a 3rd year at the University of Chicago. I am an economics major with a concentration in mathematics. I am interested in applying to law school.

Right now, I have a 3.48 GPA, I have no idea what my LSAT scores will be (thought I imagine they will be on the higher side). I am also Hispanic, so I have under-represented-minority status.

Anyone have any advice as to where I could get in, how high my LSAT scores have to be, how much I have to raise my GPA, etc. I want to get into a good law school, but I'm not really sure of what my chances are.

Thanks!

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools.

I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
