Law school admissions is flawed Forum

[splitter13]

I want you to think about this scenario for a minute.

You have a chemical engineering major who is at the top of his major with a 2.7 GPA. Getting a C+ in a class is hard. He took Calc 5, Physics 3, Econometric's, ect.

You have a Communication major who has a 3.7 GPA. If you don't get a B+ in a class you're mentally retarded. He took Communications 101, Interpersonal Communication.

The communication major scores a 165, the engineering major scores a 175. The communication major gets into Cornell. The engineering major would be lucky to break >30.

Explain to me how this makes sense? I would like to hear some non liberal arts majors too.

You mad Bro! If you didn't do a hard major, you didn't earn you're degree bro!

Law schools need to adopt standards for admission. You can't compare a chemical engineering major to a communication major.

Go be an engineer, buttbreath.

Instead of the insults, tell me how it makes sense to compare those majors

[princeR]

What do you want us to say? We know it isn't fair and there is literally nothing we can do.

Law schools should look at majors

Law schools should look at majors

they do, they prefer liberal arts majors with high gpa's

ITT: Engineering major seeks compassion for and validation of low GPA from fellow future law students. Finds exact opposite.

Just do 17X LSAT bro. After that employers will make things fair.

Hey man, I feel you. It sucks. But maybe that's just nature's way of telling engineering students not to go to law school. I never really got what motivates a student to spend 4 years studying hard sciences and then go to law school.

Basically the argument I was going to make if I decided to respond to you seriously.

Every school has their own admissions criteria. Med schools like science majors, music schools like music majors, law schools like liberal arts majors.

You cant blame the schools since you are the one who is taking a non-traditional path, then not doing well on that path.

Likewise, a journalism/communication major would similarly be disadvantaged if he/she was applying for something in the science field.

It works both ways man.

I make typos all the time, but I like to point them out when a poster is explaining how their intellect is superior to everybody else's.
