AboutEvelyn R. Calvoni Expertise I can answer questions about law school and the process of applying to law school. I recently graduated in May 2008, so it's all fresh in my mind. I can answer questions about how to apply to law school, the LSAT, getting letters of recommendation, writing your personal statement, etc. I can also answer questions about what life is like during law school and the different opportunities students should take advantage of during their law school experience, i.e., law review, networking events, moot court, clinics, internships, what classes to take, etc. I can also answer questions about what it's like to look for a job, what are good jobs to get right out of law school, and general questions about writing cover letters and resumes. I can also answer questions about judicial clerkships after law school.
Experience I am a recent law school graduate (May 2008). I have been through the process and have taken advantage of many different opportunities throughout my three years in law school. I've done internships, a clinic, been on law review, been on moot court, and participated in several moot court competitions. I am currently clerking for a state Court of Appeals judge.
Education/Credentials I have a BA in Political Science.
Question I graduated with my undergrad degree about 5 years ago, since then I have given law school a lot of thought. My question is I graduated with a 2.98 GPA; is there any chance of me being excepted?
Answer Hi Melissa,
You can definitely be accepted at many law schools. The admissions committees don't look at just your GPA. They also consider your LSAT score (probably the most important part of your application), your past experiences, work history, etc.
