Self-study
I want to ask if I would be able to make it into law school, I have a GPA of a 3.4, would I still be able to go to law school and get scholarships if my Lsat score makes up for my low GPA? Also, where can I find guidance regarding my personal statement.

Hello!
Since others have provided wonderful answers regarding LSAT score, I want to give you this lesson on 7Sage that you can use for writing a personal statement. You can also find it under 7Sage's Study > Lesson Library > Admissions > Personal Statement. You can also read some examples there as well!
I hope this helps, and good luck!
@EsmyVilla - I hope I can help!
The quick answer is "yes," there will be people admitted to law school with a GPA around a 3.4 (which is going to be below the medians for most everyone) and then an above median LSAT. That happens at most schools!
More broadly, we can reframe and broaden your question to be "can I still be competitive for admission and scholarship if one aspect of my application is weak?" And the answer to that question is also "yes!" Even in this environment where apps are way up nationally, law school admissions officers aren't only admitting the perfect apps. They're looking at the composite whole of your profile, weighing the strengths and the things that are not as strong, trying to figure out how you'd add to their enrolling class, etc, and using all of that information as the basis for their admissions and scholarship decisions.
100% between the LSAT and GPA, the LSAT will carry. Scholarships are always on the table as well.
