-More than any other grad program, UG college means the least for Law School. It matters shockingly little, thanks to the USNWR rankings, which give no weight to UG. COSC/ECE/TESC will NOT hold you back!
-Non-traditional backgrounds/educations are not a problem. LS loves diversity, so non-trads are attractive.
-LSAT is huge. A single point can mean a rejection or $10k in scholarship $$. A high LSAT can overcome a low(ish) gpa, but not vice versa.
-GPA is huge. Even if its off <30 graded credits. Most "good" schools have a cutoff just north of 3.0 (generally 3.4ish)
Committed to BU Law with over $30k/yr no-strings scholarship. Currently on the waitlist at Harvard. Accepted (with scholarship) everywhere else I applied, except Yale (rejected right at the end, at the Waitlist).
I have a 4.0 from COSC (29 graded credits, BA in a year) and a 99th percentile LSAT score.
PM with questions.
