Charleston School of Lawls Forum

Friend of mine just transferred out this for-profit disaster--I was thrilled when I saw her facebook update!

I think we have the same friend.

[lawschoolwoohoo]

Haha maybe! She said a lot of people she knew did the same thing though. Apparently at least some people are making the wise choice to flee to Carolina.

Unbelievable

[Scotusnerd]

It's getting more lulzy.

I really want to believe that someone who is smart (studious?) enough to get a 180 on the LSAT would have enough common sense to know that Charleston is not worth attending. This is the only reason that I can think of why someone with a score like that would attend a god-awful place like CSOL.

Could also be someone who is tied to the Charleston area, like taking care of an elderly relative, a person with a working spouse and kids, or someone with a thriving local business who just wants to do law school for whatever reason.

That's what I thought at first, but the more I thought about it, the less those explanations made sense. Nobody is going to get a 180 without a great deal of studying. If such a person wanted to go to CSOL from the get-go, they would have likely known that they only needed a 154 to be at the school's 75th percentile. Accordingly, the only reason that I could see someone with a 180 attending Charleston is because they had some huge flaw with their application (like a criminal record, a 1.34 GPA, etc.).

Well, CSOL is one thing, CSOL with a full scholly is another.

Or maybe they were T14 bound and then something happened in the interim.

I'm more concerned by the fact that someone who is 54 years old decided that not only was law school a good investment at that age, but that plunking down six figures at the Charleston School of Law For Kids Who Can't LSAT Good and Wanna Learn How To Make Frappuccinos Faster During The 8 AM Rush Too was the right life choice to make.

[MormonChristian]

Okay I normally don't bash other schools, but if you're actually even thinking about attending Charleston School of Law (lol), DON'T.

I disagree, it is a great place to learn to dance.

Twist: the 54 year old had the 180

[Ramius]

I'd pay good money to live on rainbow row, but this is ridiculous! I wouldn't be surprised if the valedictorian was weaving baskets on Market st. after graduation. East (Bay) and down!

Actually, now that I look at it, the most amazing part about that class profile sheet is the fact that 50% of the school's full-time students come from out of state to attend CSOL. Da fuq?

TBF, it's not like people attending CSoL in state have the best financial sense either.

Maybe the student with the 180 had a 1.X GPA... but no matter how you look at it, that's literally the biggest waste of a 180 I've ever heard of.

The decision was sealed by that 10k scholly.

[shifty_eyed]

Seems legit.

http://www.fitsnews.com/2013/07/31/news ... dquarters/

Most private schools at least have nice campuses, and the People's Law School or whatever is dirt cheap so at least there's an explanation for it. CSoL doesn't even maintain a facade that they are a real educational institution. I've seen nicer beauty schools.

[ManoftheHour]

“If I even pass the bar – I now a have a degree from DeVry University.”

So much about this quote makes me LOL. I would maybe feel bad for the CSOL students if it weren't for their voluntary decision to attend a TTTT.

So popular it's made abovethelaw!

[BeautifulSW]

Hm. Actually...a bachelor's degree in engineering technology from one of the DeVry campuses would probably get the holder a better job offer than a law degree from most lower tier law schools.

Just sayin'...

[ManoftheHour]

I don't get what the big deal is. What's the difference between a TTTT and a TTTT?

Absolutely nothing. If someone from South Carolina couldn't get into USC, then he/she shouldn't go to law school.
