    Is there a reason you can't do your own research? Have you spoken to your HS counselor or an admissions counselor at your prospective school? Have you browsed their websites or ordered information? Have you toured any of your potential schools? Can you even get in with your SAT and GPA? You're talking about a minimum of 7 years of schooling and you come here with a general question about Gwinnett Tech. Obviously you aren't ready.

    I wasn't TRYING to be rude. My point was that you should be worried/focused on getting into a university to get your Bachelors degree. Selecting a JD program should be set aside for now. Do you have a Bac? Like I said before, do you have the grades and test scores to get into a decent school?

    Have you considered a 2 year institution and then transferring to a 4 year? It would save you some money and get you acclimated to college level courses. You might change your mind about the legal profession a year from now. I wouldn't spend time picking out JD programs at this point. Start filling out applications for 2 or 4 year institutions. I believe the spring sememster starts in January.

    BTW, if you're looking for an "easy" program, it's going to be a long journey.

    any good school will offer law related degrees... which will be a stepping stone to an eventual bar

    if u r looking at associates degrees.... then u r waisting your time.... as well as getting your hopes up..........

    +1 and UGA is hard as hell to get into. A friend of mine had a 3.86 GPA and scored in the top 25% of the LSAT and didn't get in the first time.
