I took some classes online through another college when I was a freshman. I had too much going on and failed one of the classes because I forgot about it, but I was also going through some medical problems, which were very time-consuming. I am a junior now and have made mostly A's since then. I will probably finish college with a 3.5 LSAC GPA in a total of 5 years because of the transfer and medical problems I had to work through. I am not sure what I will need to score on the LSAT to get into the law schools I want (University of Cincinnati or Chase (NKU). Is it realistic for me to get into law school with my 5 years of undergrad, an F on my transcript, and not a crazy high GPA? Please be honest! I have not seen a lot of people from my research who took longer than 4 years to graduate and got into law school.

I dont know but a good high lsat score should compensate for your low gpa. The lsat should be at least in the 75th percentile of the school but preferably above that.
Also during your application write how these medicals situation affected you and impacted your grade and how you came to learn from that experience. (I heard testimonies of students getting accepted despite their low GPA, as low as 3.2)
It is definitely possible, you will definitely have to compensate with your lsat score and great application
NKU you can get on lock just write a decent addendum and deliver with your LSAT (155ish, 160 to be more comfortable). Not too sure about UC but I'd say it's possible.
