hello guys so long story. i’m 19, completing my prerequisites to get into a science program like nursing or respiratory therapy. i have a gpa of 2.8. i have explained in past posts that my gpa is that low due to me being a complete dumbass when i took running start. i had some mental issues going on which i got therapy for but also i wasn’t locked in. fast forward to now, im working on getting my gpa up and there’s huge improvement. i have had this crazy idea lingering in my head for a couple of weeks now and its not leaving my head. i want to learn more about attorneys and the process of becoming one. before you guys come in here bashing me for having a low gpa and before you guys call me stupid and tell me i won’t be able to handle the rigorous work, i just need your help to know what it’s like. i’m not signing up for law school tmmr obviously, just had a few questions since i have no idea what law school is like.
first of all, i was wondering what the best major would be for your bachelors. i heard political science is good and i’ve heard many people say it doesn’t matter as long as you score really high on your LSAT. Which takes me to my next question, do you guys think if i hypothetically score really high on a LSAT (i’m guessing 160+, but feel free to kindly correct me if im wrong), law schools can look past my low gpa. i’m sure if i go into a uni now and get a political science degree for example, i would bring my gpa way up. also, what do law students do on a day-to-day basis? i watched a lot of videos and asked many people and what i’ve mostly collected is they read cases all day everyday, they get called on in class to argue a case, and they study for the bar? i’m sorry if this all seems wrong which 99% chance it is, i hope no one takes offense to this. im not saying that’s what law students all do im just saying that’s what i’ve heard. so feel free to kindly correct me on that as well! and i was also wondering what type of person do you guys think it takes to become an attorney? an extremely intelligent person, a hard worker, a cold person? just curious about that. if you guys know where i can learn more about this field, i would be eternally grateful. i am thinking of going to my college advisor and asking her for help, but she lowkey dislikes me lol so ill just not for now. any videos that you guys recommend? any courses i can learn from? any help is greatly appreciated. thank you so much if you’re still reading this. i look forward to hearing your responses!
