Is it easier for Women or Men to get into law school? Forum

[lawfreak]

Do law school's take lower LSAT scores for women (similar to URM) in relation to men?

Just in case you don;t understand me: for ex. a law school would take a dude with a 160 and a girl with a 158 as if they scored the same?

[FiveSermon]

no

Really? Did you really just start this thread? REALLY?

[ptblazer]

No! I think females might get the edge when ALL THINGS are equal, but in all honesty (coming from a male) they aught to. There are fewer women than men in law so it is in everyone's interest.

[Bildungsroman]

No.

[paulinaporizkova]

i see you are a male. if you get a sex change operation you would probably be able to get by with a lower lsat score.

Lame thread. IBTL.

If it was going to be one way it would probably be easier for men since less men go to college than women.

Yeah, the answer is no, but this doesn't seem like such a ridiculous question to me. Colleges are starting to see a huge unbalance, with females outscoring males.

That said, I think (maybe I'm wrong) most law schools are about even, with a slightly higher percentage of males. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see this change in coming years, though.

I know there is no benefit for men but I agree that there is potential for men to be underrepresented in the future. The only reason it might not happen is because of cultural gender norms. Lawyers are supposed to argumentative assholes which is more socially acceptable for men than women. It will be interesting to see what happens, I think.

Interesting point. Or maybe it will happen and us asshole females will just be ostracized and hopelessly single. Sigh.

[NorCalBruin]

I think (hot) females have an advantage. Anyone who's seem legally blonde knows that! DUH!

[JG Hall]

It really only matters if you are planning a sex change operation

[ahduth]

i see you are a male. if you get a sex change operation you would probably be able to get by with a lower lsat score.

Definitely. This diversity statement has all sorts of angles to it.

Meh. Women will take their role as societal overlords eventually here. I hope it happens soon, because men are doing a terrible job of it.

Just make sure to consider me for jobs when you run things, please?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no boost for GLBT

not even your sex change would help you.
