Reply #17: A state law school is more than fine, I went to one [View All]

and I have had a successful and rewarding career, one that means something to me. I work in-house at a large, research-oriented academic medical center. It has a medical school and a strong commitment to indigent care. I worked in a firm for a couple of years (which I would recommend, just for the experience and to appreciate your quality of life once you no longer work for one). It paid more, but meant less. Point being, you can do anything with a law degree. In my mind it simply opens doors.

I don't think you'd have trouble getting in. I graduated near the top of my law school class (big fish/little pond scenario) and your undergrad GPA is higher than mine was. Sounds like your LSATs would rock. Many law schools value after college life experiences as much as a recommendation. I agree with other posts on this topic that you should use law to facilitate your other interests. Anything connected with computers or technology -- intellectual property, patents, copyrights, etc etc. The internet itself is a hot, developing area of law. Good luck!
