You have obligations that prevent you from taking a test, but not from attending law school?R2XvB wrote:Please don't misdirect the questions. I cannot study for another year due to obligations. Please focus on my points and only my points. Thank you!Tanicius wrote:Yeah, wow, you'd literally rather throw down tens of thousands of dollars and spend a whole year trying for good grades at tough schools, than spend another year studying on the LSAT, a much easier test.
All three of these points are truly terrible. You're almost assuredly not going to transfer, and you don't have any "obligations" that would preventing you from retaking, you just don't want to. Neither decision is good here. You should really re-evaluate your life.R2XvB wrote:Would love some input on this topic. I realize it has been discussed before but please consider my points.
(1) I am firmly dedicated to transferring. I understand it is a long shot but I want the school that will give me best chance to transfer. Berkeley 40% "A" versus Columbia 25-30% "A" makes it more likely that my grades might be good enough. Not sure if Columbia's 2-4 higher ranks make a difference in the transfer process.
(2) I want to practice in DC. I DO NOT WANT TO EVER PRACTICE IN NY. I think it goes back and forth whether or not Berkeley student self select into CA or not. Thoughts?
(3) Which school has higher "Lay" prestige and "Actual" prestige? This matters to me because I have dreams of entering politics and I feel voters knowing my school and qualifying me for it matters.
Thank you all so much. I can't wait to hear your inputs.
It won't increase your chances because you're oblivious to how getting elected works.

I would appreciate it if you educated me in whatever way you could.

All of the people who went to HLS and became politicians did not get there because of where they got their degree from. If anything, undergrad degree is more important. My only piece of education is that the burden is not on us to persuade you why you know nothing, it's on you to prove why HLS will give you a material advantage. You're the only person who thinks this is the case, so prove itR2XvB wrote:I would appreciate it if you educated me in whatever way you could.

You have done nothing to argue why school matters. Obviously my post is mostly fluff. Every year we have another Jr. Ted Cruz who comes with delusions of grandeur only to disregard everyone's advice, next they're conspicuously unable to offer an argument for why school matters, and finally they leave. You are currently on step twoR2XvB wrote:Not trying to be rude, but your post was nothing but fluff.Nebby wrote:All of the people who went to HLS and became politicians did not get there because of where they got their degree from.

(btw. This thread topic happens every year and the person in your position is never able to show why a HLS gives a material advantage over other top schools)
Summary: I know something but won't tell you because you need to prove to me first.
Fine. Here is some proof. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the ... n-one-map/
