So I'm a Junior studying mechanical engineering right now, and I'm considering going to law school to become a patent attorney. I really only feel it would be worth it if I am able to get into a top 25 or so school, keeping in mind the general legal job market(not sure if its better for patent law). So basically, my stats are LSAT:170, GPA: 3.35. Is this enough for a top 25 school if I apply to a decent number. I have solid work experience if it matters; NIH internship, Engineering Internship.
NIH and Engineering internship is for sciences NOT law. You have good LSAT and a decent GPA but you are stretching to be in a top 25, perhaps the top 100
