maintaining high gpa for law school

class of ‘29 early admit and hopeful politics major here, planning to go to law school (dream is penn carey…)

how difficult is it to maintain a 3.8+ gpa? median for carey is 3.93 and i’m worried it’ll be impossible to go to a prestigious law school due to princeton’s rigor… i’d like to get a federal clerkship once in law school so ideally i would go to a t14 but not sure how feasible this will be, esp considering the fact that undergrad prestige is only a soft factor in law school admissions

if anybody who’s been through the law school admissions process could provide some advice that would be much appreciated :)

happy holidays!
