LOCK ME PLEASE Forum

Well, although I did well in the philosophy classes that I took, I never majored in it and found these courses to be very hard with the exception of logic.The readings took me a lot of time to digest what I was reading. Thus, I take my hat off to you, and I am NOT being sarcastic.

Sure I have. Yes, it won't work for everyone. However, it will work for those with much higher GPAs than normally accepted by the school and who also have at least reasonable LSATs within 10 points of that school's median LSATs.However, you are right. It won't work for everyone and won't replace the need for some standardized test. My thesis has always been that the LSAT should not be used as the golden chalace for admission. Right now it probably represents 60-70% of the admission equation. I just think it is too highly weighted. Note I didn't say it shouldn't be used at all. It just shouldn't be used as strongly as it is currently used.

You're forgetting something I think with regard to the motivation for why the LSAT is so important: it's not because schools think it's a great predictor of success, it's because of the weight it carries in school rankings.

Even if the LSAT is a not a perfect predictor, it's the best predictor we have. IMHO, people that legitimately study for the LSAT and are incapable of cracking an average score should probably NOT be attorney, absent extremely unusual circumstances.

If a person has to study for months in order to reach the average score range, odds are that their best efforts to shine on law school exams and in the legal arena simply won't cut it. Of course, there are always exceptions.

When I graduate with Summa Cum Laude honors, I'll make sure I remember you.

Just as long as you remember summa cum laude means "with highest honor", and you won't need to add honor at the end...

I would bet that even if you publish that you graduated Summa or Magna Cum Laude, you will get flamers saying" This proves nothing about the LSAT. You are just an outlier." You might also get, "We don't believe you." I know the dean of one law school who had had someone achieve the top grades in the class yet having among the lowest LSAT scores for the admitted applicants. He simply shrugged and said, " he must have been an outlier."

Will concede when you end up top-10%...

if you also make a commitment to show up if you're in the other 90% of your class.

@OP: you have been trolled so hard in this thread. Relax for christ's sake and people will just move on from your thread. You can't come to an elitist's forum and say I got a 130 on my LSAT but the LSAT doesn't mean anything!?!?111one!111

Unless of course you are the troll, and we ourselves have been trolled.

The way he stated it would actually be "with with highest honors honors". I'm thoroughly impressed at the complexity of his anticipatory honors and will cede this entire thread argument on behalf of the naysayers.

Bils. its spelt honours.
