2.9 undergrad GPA, Theatre major, class of 2020, is there any hope for me?

I want to get into the best school possible and receive as much scholarship $$$ as possible. My goal is BigLaw after graduating. Am I completely delusional? Are these goals attainable? Should I switch life tracks completely?

Luckily for you, law schools seem to weight LSAT score more than GPA, meaning that, if you’re able to manage a high LSAT score, you might be able to compensate for your low GPA.
Getting into a prestigious law school (one that opens doors to big law) will be very difficult with a 2.9 GPA, but it’s certainly not unheard of and is very possible with an exceptional LSAT.

I have a 3.0 and totally feel ya. T14 seems about impossible but top 30-40 some of which have about a third of their classes going into big law is definitely possible with 170+.

Stay encouraged and focus on the test! Also, pour into the personal statement because that will stand out on the application too. Praying for the best!
