I was literally going to post the same thing, but figured it wasn't as big of a deal to me considering THANKFULLY I won't have any classes with him/her.Nova wrote:sublime wrote: You're coming here? Goddamnit.
Most people on TLS who graduated Summa Cum Laude retook the LSAT and went to YHS or a T14 with major money. They probably had to do half the work that you had to do to get twice as far as you with much less risk.ProspectiveStudent69 wrote: I graduated summa cum laude while working 30 hours per week. Not everyone has the luxury of going through under grad without working a job. That being said, I guarantee I would have done very well if I would have not worked a job. Hindsight is 20/20. Luckily it all worked out. Now I just have to focus on doing well with my studies at WUSTL
Lol, yup, actually though. Whenever I see a firm profile with an undergraduate summa or magna cum laude or PBK and some lower T1 or TT law school, I'm like what, retake.jingosaur wrote:Most people on TLS who graduated Summa Cum Laude retook the LSAT and went to YHS or a T14 with major money.

TBF pre-TLS I'm sure the vast majority of law applicants had no fucking clue how much a retake is worth when you have that kind of GPA. Hell I'm sure most today still don't realize it.jbagelboy wrote:Lol, yup, actually though.
