@JacobBaska I see thank you! Would essays and solid recommendations make some impact when admission counselors are evaluating my profile?

😖 Frustrated

T14s out of the picture?

Hi! I'm applying to law school for the next cycle and am getting super nervous about my GPA. Unfortunately, my undergrad gpa was quite low. For context, I am a computer engineering and computer science major who graduated in 2025 and had two dips in my gpa that were both affected by emergency situations. I had to take an incomplete for a class since I had to miss the final exam due to the circumstance, but retook the class next Spring and got an A. In another course, I had a D, but maintained an A until the incident hit. My plan is to explain these dips in a gpa addendum without making excuses. I also got some corporate experience during and after college. I worked for 6 months full time as a Data Center Tech and 1 year as a RF engineer. I also have been working as an intern for 6 months at a cybersecurity company.

I would really love to apply to T14 law schools and a few in mind (obviously I will also be applying to targets and safetys), but is it just not in the cards for me? I know my LSAT is gonna have to some heavy lifting and my goal score is a 170+ (ambitious ik) with my first attempt in January. But is there anything else I can do to really strengthen my application?
