Law School Splitter | High LSAT + Low GPA | why GPA "doesn't matter"

Got a question from a student about my undergraduate GPA and I thought I'd make a video sharing my thoughts with all of you on that topic. So, student writes, I'm very much in the same place you described yourself, studying super hard to get a high LSAT score to make up for a low undergraduate GPA. Just a personal confidence booster and only if you're okay with answering, what was your undergraduate GPA? And I honestly wouldn't really mind sharing my undergraduate GPA if I remembered it. It's been quite a while. I know it wasn't high. I think it was somewhere in the low threes, which maybe is higher than some of you watching out there. But by my standards and by my high school performance as any measure, I should have done better in undergrad. I should have tried harder. I think I got overexcited about studying and being away from home and didn't put enough effort into my studies. And so I was in a position where I wanted to get a really high LSAT score to make up for it, to counteract it. And I found myself to be someone who wasn't really going to sustain effort over the course of the entire semester. But when it came time to doing a paper last minute or cramming for an exam, that was my approach. And so with the LSAT, I didn't mind putting in all the effort to have it all come down to one big day. But that's besides the point. My question for you is what is my undergraduate GPA matter? It's your life. It's your admissions practice. And of course, if you have a low undergraduate GPA, then maybe getting a higher LSAT score is relatively more important for you than it would be for somebody else. But the bottom line is that wherever you're at, whether your undergraduate GPA is high or it's low, getting a high LSAT score will open all kinds of doors for you, whether it's more scholarship money or getting into a better law school. The ROI on your time invested in studying for the LSAT, again, no matter what your GPA is, will pay off big time down the line. And there are plenty of success stories out there. You can read the LSAT diaries. You can read my story. But the point is that it's your life and it's your journey that you need to focus on. And so instead of reading about what other people have done, it's time for you to just focus on the prep tests and your review of them and making those gains in understanding, putting in the time.
