U of C Law Advice

[wugawlrdlaw]

Hello, I completed my first degree in Sociology last June (2024) with a cGPA of 3.5, and L2 of 3.84; I then started a degree in Computer Science (Fall 24), and just finished my first year with a GPA of 3.25 (taking only core classes, can't take options).

My L2 GPA is now a 3.58, I understand U of C Law admissions are holistic so I was curious on if I should simply try for the LSAT and aim high, or attempt to repeat/complete another year taking "GPA boosters" and attempt to increase my GPA to around a 3.64. If LSAT, what would be a good score to aim for to ensure admission?

My EC's/Work Experience Include:

AI Research Internship (this summer), previous Machine Learning Internship (last summer), Student Nursing practicum experience, various personal projects (programming) and clubs pertaining to food insecurity and mental health. I also have decently strong reference's (Profs in CS/Sociology + Ex-Coworkers in FAANG)
