BP decides where you go to law school Forum

[flyingpanda]

Legos don't count as models brah, unless you're under the age of 12. They're just toys.

[booboo]

law school is not to "better yourself," it is to become a lawyer. law is a highly technical field. it isn't a gateway to some wide array of fields.

I don't agree, your view is valid but its not the only perspective on a legal education.

wtf? it isn't a matter of opinion

I love IAFG in this thread.

I think I missed 39...and 14 were on one section...I didn't really think it was that bad. It's like getting a C. Mehh.

HK I don't know your LSAT testing history, but don't just retake it "hoping" for a better outcome. Splurge on a full-length prep course or seriously commit to DAILY self-study from now until September. I was in the exact same position a year ago.

I don't even wanna talk about it. Months of 8 hour days, 2 prep classes, every PT, Bibles and like 40 books later here I am...

I'm actually morbidly fascinated by this. [strike]As LTK asked, were your PT's in the low 150s?[/strike] Was there any point when you were missing 30+ questions per test that you realized you needed to rethink your approach, or did you just have that "meh" attitude the whole way through?

Edit: Saw HK's answer above.

Oh and someone asked who my avatar was, it's Zoe Saldana, my favorite actress. No self-tar this time, probably in a week or so.

That's what I thought. She might be my favorite actress too, frankly. This new movie "Losers" appears to be 2 hours dedicated to showcasing her body in slow-motion.

The girl is hot.

Law school is a pretty damn expensive way to "better yourself".

honestly, yeah there aren't many ways of looking at a legal education...

unless $200,000K in debt or 3 years of your life are basically worthless to you

I'd say toss-up between NU and Mich. Really depends on where you want to live for those three years.

lol yeah, if you hit 167 like that, some more self-directed studying should get you to 172+ and HYS
