I have a BS in CS from UMass. I think I made the right choice against pursuing an advanced technical degree.

I think by advanced he meant graduate. BS is undergrad, so you have no advanced degree.

Thank you, Examiner X. I was kind of looking for a ballbark idea of how hard it is to get accepted to the part time programs in the DC area if I decided to try to get a position with the PTO or, preferably, as a patent agent with a firm. I was just wondering if your 3.2 was Ivy League or similar where the admissions committee might view it differently. I'm just kind of worried because I have a medicore undergrad GPA (~3.0 overall; 4.0 in my major) from a mediocre state school. The bad GPA is due to one bad year--take it out and it's closer to 3.5 but unfortunately I can't go back and do that. My BS is in Biology and I'm working on my PhD in a Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences though what I really do is biosensors/implantable devices on a cancer nanotech fellowship. I'm hoping that my PhD and my LSAT score (top 1%) will help offset my mediocre undergrad GPA.
And thank you also, other "guest," for pointing out that when I said advanced degree I did mean an MS or PhD, but Examiner X answered my question just the same.

With an LSAT in the top 1% and a Ph.D., I'd expect you to get into at least a couple Top 10 schools. Assuming you want to work in DC, you'd be a cinch at either GW or Georgetown part-time.
FWIW, I'll be at GW part-time in the fall and my LSAT was not >165.

I was admitted to GW with a 3.3/159.
The 3.3 GPA was from a fairly prestigous engineering program. (for example the average SAT was over 1300).
The 159 was the average of two tests - 156 and 162.
I believe that PTO experience was a factor.
