Hmmm...I think your LSAT score is more important than GPA plus other "intangibles" like internship, hard life etc. The LSAT score is considered more bcause of grade inflation at schools like Stanford.

So, 4.0 at Stanford but a low LSAT score of 168 would probably only get you into a 2nd tier school.

A 3.5 at a lesser known or less prestigious school such as Duke and a 175+ on the LSAT plus loads of extracurricular activity, will increase your chances by a lot. An internship at a law firm or JusticeCoprs etc will also help a lot.

Wow, Elphaba, I can't believe you remebered that I was gone for a quarter in DC. Thanks!
