LSAT: 156, 160, 161
Spent 1 year at CC and 3 years at top 20 as Biochemistry major (graduated this past may). LSAC gpa: 3.5, but my gpa at T20 was 3.2
NC Resident interested in patent law
I think at this point chapel hill is my best bet, right? their median stats are 161/3.56
employment data looks good: http://www.law.unc.edu/career/employmentdata/ $130K median $155K top quarter last year, probably most working in charlotte/durham area
also, what about wake? I'd rather go to UNC for the tuition and area but what do you think

Re: 161/3.5/3.2, Transfer T20 Biochemistry major
The numbers they have on their website are... misleading. Only a small percentage of their graduating class - 20%, maybe 25% - is making $100k+. The 50th percentile salary for the 57% of 2017 UNC grads who reported salaries, according to LST, is $70k. So basically, probably only the people who got decent jobs are reporting their salaries and that's driving up the median. Those who didn't get Big Law are probably making somewhere between $40-70k. It's just that 20-25% that's making six figures. You should probably consider retaking the LSAT if those reported salaries are what made you want UNC, especially if you think you can do better than a 161. You probably won't make that much coming out of UNC, and I wouldn't advise taking out a bunch of loans to go there under the assumption that you will make six figures and pay it off.
