I am just beginning a search that will hopefully result in attending a graduate program in History. I thought I would dip into the vast pool of knowledge known as the Gradcafe to see what likely consequences exist for my less-than-stellar Law School career. Many issues contributed to grades below a B average in Law School, but success has been on my side since that time. So, I basically have two questions;
1) How important will my law school transcripts be; like I said, cumulatively sub 3.00 work, but I had some very high points in clinical education and a research paper related to Law, Religion, and Society, specifically Homosexuality and the Anglican/Episcopal Church...(Graduated 2005: Southern Methodist University)
2) How important will my undergraduate work be; BA German Language/Literature-cum laude grad, 4.00 final year of undergrad, winner of competitive fellowship for study in Germany for 1 year, National German Language/Literature/Culture award (Uni Karlsruhe, DE), honors history paper nominated to be published...(Graduated 2001: Sewanee)
Thanks in advance for the input!
