Q. I recently graduated from college and wish to attend law school. My biggest concern is my GPA. It's not a 4.0. From what I can tell law schools are simply looking for the best with little regard for those who are less than the best. I haven't taken the LSAT yet for fear I may not get accepted into a school of my choice; not an Ivy League of course. My grade point is decent just not perfect. What are my chances of getting accepted? How can I better my chances? Or am I wasting my time?

A. >What are my chances of getting accepted? First, you should take a diagnostic LSAT to assess your likely score. Most of the major LSAT prep course companies will let you take a free diagnostic LSAT just to see if you might be a candidate who a course would benefit. If you are already scoring well enough to get you into the school of your choice, then obviously you wouldn't need to take a prep course. Then, visit: The Boston College Online Law School Locator http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/svp/carct/matrix.html An excellent resource for pre-laws that helps them determine schools within their index range, based on the common LSAT + GPA formulas many law schools use. >How can I better my chances? An LSAT prep course helps many. Kaplan or the Princeton Review seem to be the most popular ones: Kaplan http://www.kaplan.com/ Princeton Review http://www.review.com/ >Or am I wasting my time? That's a determination you'll have to make for yourself. By the way, the Internet Legal Resource Guide maintains a page with an index of pre-law related resources on the Internet. You might find it helpful, too. Internet Legal Resource Guide Pre-Law Index http://www.ilrg.com/pre-law.html
