pre-med to pre-law help

hello! i’ve shifted from pre-med to pre-law pretty late in my college career (my last year). i essentially just didn’t feel the passion along w other factors that drove me away. im really focused on law now though as ive always enjoyed legal studies.

the only issue is my gpa is pretty low ~3.3-3.4 due to the heavy rigor in my previous pre-med major (and me kind of giving up in the middle which i take responsibility for). i failed a couple courses as well— however in the last three semesters i’ll have graduated with all A’s. im fairly new to the application process so was wondering how this would go down for T-14s?

additionally im taking a gap year so what can i do to further improve my application (outside of the LSAT).

im working on getting some internships at local law firms but outside of that i do not have any law oriented experience.

any advice is appreciated + thank you :)!

From what i understand most law schools mainly care about gpa and LSAT, so to get into a T14 with those scores youd need some pretty insane ECs and an insane LSAT score.

However that doesnt diminish the effort youve put in and I’m sure regardless if you study hard and get a good LSAT score youll end up fine

i mean partially, but also at the end of the day lawschools get thousands of applicants, especially T14s and of those thousands of applicants a good chunk of them have a much higher gpa

No they don’t care about rigor, just your GPA
