Impossible Success Stories
TLS members,
I've been searching high and low for information and established cases on "mission impossible" law school acceptance stories. Got any?

Re: Impossible Success Stories
For those in the "pathetic GPA" category, the #1 success-story maker is a high LSAT and ED.
For those in the "low LSAT" category, the #1 success story is being URM.
Is it even possible to get into a college without a HS diploma? I guess you could get a GED, but that's still the equivalent of a diploma... Either way, you need a bachelor's degree to get into law school, and you need an HS diploma/GED to get the bachelor's degree.

Re: Impossible Success Stories
Actually, your assumptions are almost entirely wrong. (the world runs on assumptions)
1. You don't need a high school diploma to get an undergrad, just 99% of people do have one when they apply.
2. You don't need a bachelors to get into law school, strictly speaking. (ABA ruling 501)
3. There are at least a few people running around the planet that have top PhDs that do not have undergrads.
4. Speaking from personal experience, I know a few people that got an MBA as their first degree. (build a few companies and a top b-school will admit you)

Re: Impossible Success Stories
My father never graduated from high school (no GED either), but I'm sure his bachelor's degree and graduate degree both helped him. He ended up at a T1 law school. I guess back in those days colleges accepted people with no high school diplomas?
