I will have a 3.65 from Rutgers at the end of my junior year which is when i’ll be applying. From what i understand my senior GPA doesn’t count into it that much.

Those kinds of statistics should be available at each school’s website. Look for the average and 20%-80% to get an idea of the range.
It depends on which schools you are applying to. The numbers vary considerably from school to school.
For law schools, take a look at the Law School Admission Council’s 2010 Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law School and check out the 25th and 75th percentiles for the schools you are interested in. A “good” GPA (i. e. , one that will bolster your application) is one that is at or above the 75th percentile for the school. You can see the Guide at http://officialguide. lsac. org. Don’t forget, though, that the LSAT also counts a great deal in law school admissions. You’ll have to pay close attention to what the LSAT range is for the schools you are interested in, as well.
For MBA programs, there isn’t really a centralized website like the 2010 Guide. You would have to go to the website of each school you are interested in and check our their Entering Class Profiles. That will give you a good idea of what they’re looking for. Again, at or above the median number is where you ideally want to be. Just like with law school, though, your standardized test score (in this case, for the GMAT and/or GRE) will matter a great deal, too.
Hope that helps!
Anne gave you a good answer regarding law. For the MBA, the Official MBA Guide provides a lot of information about the MBA degree and MBA schools and programs. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc. ), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc. ), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide. org.
