Telling said story may keep you from passing the character and fitness portion, because you'd seem crazy.
By bar story he meant drinking bar (I assume), not the other bar.

yeah, that was part of the (admittedly lame) attempt at humor.

I'd do it for a 176, with my 3.7 a 180 probably isn't getting me anything that a 176 isn't

It's a shame Peter North is no longer around to respond to this one.
Why? Who is Peter North (aside from the obvious)?
Former poaster. He got banned.

Sorry, I didn't expect such a lame use of a pun. Thought it was more likely that it was over your head.

You would think so, but schools love to jockey LSATs for USN.

Ya but with a 176 or 180 3.7, i'm probably out of HYS anyways, and in at CCN anyways, and I doubt money would be much different with either one.

Fair enough. I'll let you know how a 180 3.5 goes when I finish chewing my finger off. it's starting to taste and smell like almonds.

Why would any law student with a 180 LSAT want to chew off a pinky?

Where would s/he put the pinky ring when s/he starts raking in the cash?

Chances are that you'd end up killing the world's most interesting man instead.

To do serious business, you need a pinky ring. It's how multi-million dollar contracts are signed: by people with pinky rings.

It's a weird place to be--not good enough to get into the higher rung, yet good enough for $$$ at your best options? (I'm in the same boat, btw).
Ya, man fuck my 3.7. I had a 3.88 before transferring and now think my lsac is going to be like 3.75 or so. Damn my stupid decision to transfer from an easy state school to harder school.

But at least i'm not in the the section that makes it hard for CCN. Of course, at my current LSAT test prep scores i'm not getting into CCN anyways.

Having a 180 doesn't help a school's USNWR #s any more than a 176 does. Remember, they use percentiles, not averages. A 176 is over every schools' median and 75th percentile. Really, a 176 doesn't matter that much to anyone except people taking the LSAT, in my experience.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
