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.

according to Charleston's 2015 class profile
http://www.charlestonlaw.edu/charleston ... c164e1.pdf their LSAT range was from 140-180 :shock: :roll: :shock: which means someone with a PERFECT LSAT is attending that school

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.). :P
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.

Twist: the 54 year old had the 180

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!

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.

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.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

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.

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'...

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.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
