@SpanishMain I looked at your profile and see all those law schools you got accepted/waitlisted for and you're saying Harvard isn't worth getting out of bed for?

I was joking. Harvard is very much worth getting out of bed for. I also never claimed I could get in to Harvard. Where are you getting that?jmcdaniel15 wrote:@SpanishMain I looked at your profile and see all those law schools you got accepted/waitlisted for and you're saying Harvard isn't worth getting out of bed for?

Well, if he didn't went to Harvard, why bother talking to him?jmcdaniel15 wrote:Oh by the way believe it or not I actually got a chance to speak to an attorney I our city legal district. He didn't went to Harvard, but another reputable law school (Northwestern) and former jag (Air Force).

It's not true in theory, but it's also sort of irrelevant. Look at the way OP writes and tell me he's got a 180 rattling around up there.Pneumonia wrote:This is not truemanu6926 wrote:2.0? I guess you can pull it up to a 3.5. But even then, even with a 180 LSAT, you will have no chance.
Says he doesn't write poorly; makes multiple spelling and grammar errors. Harvard or bust!jmcdaniel15 wrote:@TheSpanishMain Dude I don't write poorly. I happend to be good at reading and writing. I'll admit I'm not that damn good, but atleast I know what to do and not to do on an essay or any other paper.

We talked awhile back and one thing he told me was no matter how good your grades might get, the best GPA you have, and the best LSAT score you have law school isn't worth a mountain of debt. All I'm saying is in the next couple of years even if I might have the greatest application in the world I wouldn't be able to afford a school like Harvard anyways.

no don't make it your last post! please keep updating us as you go through college/eventually law school admissions. I want to know if you get into harvard at the endjmcdaniel15 wrote:This might be my last post on this thread, but ever since my last post I've been focusing more on my academics. I've finished freshman year with a 3.17 which means I had 3 A's and one B believe it or not I don't care anymore and and if you're wondering what class I got a B it's English 102, but I know I still might get flamed for that. Anyways I know most people on here will still what they're gonna say, but this is just an update.
u don't need to try,,,u have a natural gift at it!TheSpanishMain wrote:To a certain extent, yeah. One bad semester wouldn't preclude you getting in, provided you have an LSAT in the top 1% of test takers and crush every semester from here on out, ending up with a 3.8+ undergraduate GPA.
The fact that you were failing remedial classes in community college and write so poorly doesn't bode well, but, yeah, it's theoretically possible. Not trying to be an asshole, just giving you an honest assessment. I don't think Harvard Law/Marine Corps JAG is in the cards here.
