How much would you risk for lower top 14? Forum

[mynameismyname]

I would need proof for that. He's on tls too much. Likely just a troll.

Real practicing attorneys at any reputable firm don't have this much time to troll... Except well unemployed attorneys...

[orangered]

If I had to guess, I would think Rpupkin is probably a splitter who has been a career paralegal or a small business assistant manager who thinks his loose connections to successful people makes him knowledgable.

Pupkin is a practicing attorney, bro.

Rpupkin got his LSAT score in 2014. How can he possibly be a practicing attorney?

Like the other poster said, he's just a splitter with some paralegal experience.

A full ride to a T14 is worth it if you want to practice law.

I would go up to $150,000 in debt to attend a T13 (not georgetown), in the abstract.

This. However, I probably wouldn't attend law school at all if I had a prestigious UG degree.

LOL at 0Ls knowing what practicing attorneys can and can't do. Or not being able to figure out what is/isn't trolling.

I mean, if you want to practice law, it doesn't matter what kind of undergraduate degree you have (unless its a foreign degree). people shouldn't be going to law school if they don't want to practice law.

I was thinking this was a DF call-in, but then I remembered that he's only at a V42. That must be why he has plenty of time to troll.

In Hindsight, I would say 100k, because I'm not willing to risk more than two years of big law slavery.

BagelBoy's right: if you want to be a lawyer, no one gives a shit where you went to UG.

[Monochromatic Oeuvre]

Unless circumstances are atypical, my rough guide for the maximum amount of debt I'll endorse for a school is $2,000 multiplied by Biglaw percentage (i.e. the percent of people who want Biglaw who can get it).

[fliptrip]

BagelBoy's right: if you want to be a lawyer, In the adult world, no one gives a shit where you went to UG.

This rests on the assumption that those applying and matriculating to law school actually want or know what it means to "practice law," which we know from attorney satisfaction levels isn't a high percentage of law students.

And my qualifier applies to me. I do want to practice law, but I think I would have enjoyed other jobs just as much, unfortunately I couldn't get those jobs out of undergrad.

Dude, as you know, I'm a paralegal by day and a small business assistant manager by night. Moreover, I spend several hours per day studying for the LSAT so I can retake in June for more money so I can have the same opportunities you have. If I were a real practicing attorney, I would have more time to troll, not less.

Gunning for that 180? Something I wish I would've done...taking the LSAT was kind of fun. A lot funner than practicing law anyway.

This is the most bizarre thread.

I think the OP asks some good questions.

Rpumpkin answers other people's questions, yes. But just what are his law school goals? And why is he constantly retaking the LSAT?

These are things we've all always wondered, but been too afraid to ask.

I won't be satisfied until rpumpkin releases long-form birth certificate on these fora. #mynameismyname2016

I know you're joking but there are a lot of unanswered questions here. Who is this rpumpkin guy? Why does this 0L feel qualified to give advice? Moreso, why has a mod (A. Nony Mouse) rushed in to defend him? There is much more going on here than meets the eye. And we as TLS users need to demand answers.

[mynameismyname]

Yeah the mod surprised me with his enthusiastic support of the troll.

If you keep asking questions

[rpupkin]

Orangered and Mynameismyname go to a dark parking garage in Washington DC. From the shadows emerges a mysterious figure, wearing a hat and sunglasses. "You're getting close," the man says. "Just follow the rankings."

As the man turns around to walk away, Orangered cries out "Wait...wait...who are you?" The man pauses for a moment, and then says: "I'm DaRascal....they call me DaRascal."

The truth is out there.
