Quit being so quick to try to convince everyone of how dumb you are. It sounds like you have a lot of room for improvement on both the LR and games sections. Spend a few solid months studying and you'll have no problem breaking 170.Pablo wrote: If I retake I know I can't hit a 170, but a 168 or 169 I think is doable if I ace logic games and score a couple questions better on logical reasoning which I think I can do since I wasn't able to finish either of my logical reasoning sections on test day.
Biglaw (firms of 100+ attorneys) hires a lot more entry level people than midlaw (firms of 11-100).Pablo wrote:But I still haven't gotten an answer to the question of whether a t14 leads to better opportunities in terms of good jobs that aren't big law. Is t14 all about big law?

That chart undersells the difference because most federal and many state clerks could have chosen to start out in biglaw. Biglaw is not just about prestige; it pays the most money (which matters whether or not you're paying back the government or your parents) and for many aspiring lawyers it's the only way to break into the field.
