Question I am graduating this May with a 2.7 GPA as an Accounting Major. Is there a chance of me getting into Suffolk Law School BOSTON? Secondly, is there any hope for me getting a job if I go to Suffolk Law School or New England School of law.
Answer Dear Albert,
Without knowing your LSAT score, it is difficult to predict your chances of acceptance to law school. With a 2.7 GPA you might aim for a minimum score in the high 150’s.
Job opportunities do exist for graduates of lower-ranked law schools. You may not find employment with a big law firm but there are plenty of job opportunities in small firms, public interest and the government.
