Another lurker here - just wanted to throw myself into the mix as I anxiously await decisions from political theory programs. I graduated from a highly ranked law school in 2014, was editor-in-chief of my law journal and a research assistant. My law school GPA (top 10%) and verbal GRE score (169) are high, however my undergraduate GPA (3.49) and quantitative score (159) are lower. But I'm hoping with my strong LORs and the fact that I'm currently working in academia it'll all balance out because due to my wife's medical needs we cannot move and I only applied to three programs. Good luck to everyone.
