What you guys think of this??? I have like a 3.0 gpa so far.

Getting into law school is pretty much just about your grades and LSAT score.

Did you read the thread about law school in this forum? Should still be on the first page...

Keep in mind, that 3.0 might drop quite a bit after LSAC calculates your GPA.

And a 3.0 won't be much use for any school in the top 50.

And you need not apply to a top law school with a criminal justice major.

It entirely depends on what the OP wants to do with his JD.

What IS criminal justice anyway? I've always wondered about it as a field.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread.

Irrelevant. More than any other avenue in graduate study, law school is almost completely(and I mean 99.9999999%) about two things: GPA, LSAT. The rest is, basically, superfluous. Particularly your major.
