OP, I thought for a moment (as did other posters, I think) that you already had super-strong 1L fall grades and were considering possible options for after spring exams were over. But, of course, you're not even in law school. Thinking that this is a viable plan as a 0L is every bit as wrongheaded as attending a school you're not happy with because you plan to transfer. It's a hell of a lot easier to do well on the LSAT than to be top 10% in your law school class.
Dude, I'm not considering it, it's just a question. I'm not one of those people who assumes I'll be above X% of the class or who goes somewhere I'm unhappy about with the intention of climbing up and out, so go crawl up someone else's ass. But thanks for your invaluable opinion.Ti Malice wrote:Much better plan.twentypercentmore wrote:Counterplan: Retake the LSAT in June, insist on more money or threaten to withdraw and reapply next cycle.
