Law School with less then 60 graded credits

[Stonybeach]

Leverage your bachelor's degree and go for a master's degree with 30 graded credits for a total of "60" graded credits. If the price is an issue, get an MBA at Hellenic American University for $ 3,000 while studying for the LSAT. Do you have any opinions on improving the success of getting accepted to an ABA law school with a graduate degree?

Law schools only consider the FIRST bachelor degree for the 60 graded credits. So, getting another bachelor or master's doesn't help.

Yes, I found a reference to your statement here: https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school...marization

Does the OP already hold a conferred bachelor's degree?

Yes, I do have conferred bachelor’s. I was also under impression that I need 60 graded credits total (not the first degree), so decided to get a second degree with additional 30 credits at UMPI a bit sooner. As soon as I realized my mistake, I created this post.

Since you already have a conferred degree, the post-conferral credits or even a second bachelor's degree don't appear to be of any value "All courses taken after the degree conferral date of the first bachelor’s degree, including graduate work and professional study. This also includes any undergraduate courses taken after the first bachelor’s degree was awarded. For more information, please review Graduate or Professional Study below."

I recommend talking with ABA law school admission counselors directly to see if this can be rectified. If a master's degree strengthens the application, that is the route I would choose coupled with high LSAT scores.
