For the other law school applicants, a more than cursory look at other admission factors may be necessary to determine the admission decision. Although it certainly happens that other admission factors may help an applicant overcome minor LSAT or GPA deficiencies, it is unlike that other factors will be able to overcome major LSAT or GPA deficiencies. Your primary focus should be on your LSAT score and UGPA (probably in that order).
The University of Kansas Pre-Law Advising says that, "The major benchmarks in the law school admission decision are a student's grade point average and a student's score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Other factors, such as extracurricular activities, work experience, recommendations, and the rigor of a student's academic experience are always relevant, but are not determinative." |
