If someone is involved (for lack of a better word) enough to make a LSN profile, surely they would be involved enough to stumble upon blog & forums about what a scam Cooley is. Furthermore, if someone cares enough to make a LSN profile, surely they'd care enough to study and retake.
Then again, maybe I'm putting too much faith in people.

I think you do - browse around on LSN after you set your LSAT search parameter to "120-145". (Don't do this if you are already feeling sad, though.)

Maybe they don't have enough money to retake the LSAT. Not everyone is as privileged as you.

I just don't understand how someone could score under a 150 on the LSAT and not realize that they will probably never be able to pass the bar.

I know. I just think it's shameful and that the ABA should yank their accreditation.

To me that comes across as straight up insulting. How would it not? "You're right at the cutoff of the bottom quartile, and that's just the caliber of student who we're looking for."

MCL's dean has a big thread on TLS. He's kind of a fuckwad.
