UCLA ($$) vs. UCI ($$) for not-Biglaw
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:54 pm
(Not posting this for me, posting this for a friend. Can answer questions and stuff.)
Stats are 173 LSAT | No GPA.
Like my cycle, my friend's cycle has been enormously sh*tty. With a 173 LSAT, he was dinged at all the T14 except for GULC and Cornell, where he was waitlisted and reserved respectively. We're pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that almost all of our classes were taken P/F at a college slightly more prestigious than University of Phoenix. UCLA, GULC and UCI all requested interviews where they reamed him for the perceived lack of rigor in his studies.
With a 173, RETAKE is probably not the solution to this problem.
He's tried negotiating scholarships with both schools with no success.
Career objectives are pretty much anything public interest-y: In preferential order, a local DA's office first, a city attorney's office, JAG, a non-profit/NGO, etc. He'd rather go for PMF and get killed by the full force of his debt than do biglaw.
Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
