160 Curve Forum

[052220151]

Gotta love that TLS mentality. Less than a 170 and a scholarship to a top 25 school and you are a retard who will never get a job. This has to be one of the most negative communities I have ever seen.

Not to burst the elitist bubble, but there are actually successful attorneys that scored lower than a 165 on the LSAT and had a sub 3.5 GPA. Based on sheer numbers alone, I would wager more make up that region than not.

I understand warning people of the dangers of going to truly pitiful institutions, but this notion of a 3.5/170 being required to even consider going to law school is fucking horrendous.

SICK strawman bro!

Sick job not adding anything to the conversation except more negativity bro! So many of the people on here seem like they are so high and mighty, but if I ran into them at a Law Review event they would be in the corner hugging their drink.

I understand being helpful. Many people I have seen on here truly just do not have their heads on straight, but that doesn't give you a license to be a complete asshole.

I had realllly low stats, 3.0/160, definitely what you guys call the special snow flake. But hey I was able to get some of school at a T70 paid for and I am in the top 15% and enjoying myself. It frightens me to think what would have happened if I listened to many of the people on this board.

Just lol at most of your bullshit, but especially the bolded.

Yes, we must be aspie pathetic losers because we were willing to out work you on the lsat. Get real bro. You really think that we're pathetic people because we would rather spend our 250k on top schools, where we have a shot of paying it off, instead of a t70 where the odds are tiny. You're the one attacking away on the internet..the very same thing you're chastising them for doing!

Shut up aspienerd! You're not adding anything to the discussion with your platitudes.

dont go to law school if you're aiming for a 160. HTH

Absolutely not true. This is the kind of douchebaggery that defines much of TLS.
I personally know plenty of people who went to regional L-schools in the top 50 (where low 160s is the median) and have gone on to have successful law careers.

For some reason people on TLS seem to think that if you don't score above 170 and go to a T-14 law school, you cannot be a successful attorney.

So aiming for a 160 will help for schools with medians from 161-165?

Are you dipshits serious? No one is saying that. They are saying the shittier the school you go to, the shittier your odds of success. This is confirmed empirically.

But the point is that even with a better score they may be able to get huge scholarships if they don't want to go to a T14. Lets say they get even 50k in total, for studying an extra 100 hours that would be $500 an hour, and I don't know of a much better return than that.

^ We didn't need confirmation that you are an elitist asshole, but this really seals the deal. Just because you have a ~10-20% lower chance of securing employment does not mean you should just give up entirely on going to law school.

Also (for those of us with a modicum of social skills), the ranking of your law school does not dictate your odds of success. Hence the adage, "its not about what you know but who you know."

i mean the website is called TOP LAW SCHOOLS for a reason....

^ So anyone who is aiming for a top 50 school should be excluded? A 160 does not relegate you to a Tier 3 or 4 school...

There is no distinction between "Top 50" and TTT. Hope that helps.

just chiming in here to say this is the most obvious use of an alt i've ever witnessed on TLS. hth

edit: see also: the later use of the "^" to confirm

You truly are a dipshit. You should tell us more about your wonderful social skills.

That 10-20% is actually massive when you account for the differences in the actual jobs. Good luck paying off 200k with a 40k/year job.

Ok, troll. Care to elaborate? Maybe you can start by explaining the 20-50% difference in employment and even greater differences in bar passage rates.

LOL at 50% difference. Even assuming TTT at 0% meaningful employment, the "best" T2's are hardly at 50% for bar passage required, let alone real employment. See http://www.lstscorereports.com/?school=cardozo

edit: bar passage rates? god damn we were flamed

Why are you making that assumption? Like others in this thread have noted, a dedicated graduate of a flagship state school can make six figures and graduate with very little debt.

The bar passage rates just sealed it. Congrats bro, you trolled me good.
