Extra Curricular Information

Went to 3 different undergrad schools in 3 years and then dropped out to work in IT for 5 years. Went back to school to finish my degree. My GPA is so low because I wasn't that great of a student before I dropped out. Since I have transferred so many times my LSAC GPA is based on every single class Ive taken (which is over 180 credits) which means its difficult to get my overall GPA back up even with the 3.9 degree GPA I've had since coming back to school.

My fiance is applying to a doctoral program at UNC so that is my top choice. I'm looking to concentrate on IP law so that is why I am applying to a lot of the other schools on my list.

For a few of my schools I will be very lucky to even get waitlisted but I'm hoping with my strong personal statements and resume and degree GPA I can get into some of the mid-tier schools.
