I am in a very similar boat and would love to hear what people have to say on this topic. My big concern is that law school is graded on a harsh curve wherein only about 20% of the students in each class receive some form of A. I also have a 3.3 GPA in law school, and while this sounds terrible, it actually places me within the top-25% of my class--I'm hoping that folks keep this in mind when looking at my law school grades.
Anyway, my vitals are:
- 3.75 GPA from top-20 undergrad (BA in history)
- 2 years with Teach For America
- J.D. from top-30 law school, top-25% of my class
No GRE score yet. I'm hoping I have a shot somewhere competitive and that my JD/TFA experience will make me stand out a bit, but in this economy I think there are a lot of lawyers avoiding the job market any way they can.
