Re: IS LAW SCHOOL REALLY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Why are you wasting people's time? You don't even know if you'll be making 160k because you don't have an offer for full time employment. Also, as a 2L, you should know that law school exams are not remotely comparable to the LSAT.tepper wrote:No offense or anything, but seriously, those of you who took the LSAT today and kept on wondering whether or not if you should cancel, perhaps law school is not right for you. I'm not saying this to piss you off or make you feel worse, but realistically, you should think carefully about this whole law school thing.
I'm currently a 2L at a respectable law school, and I tell you, if you can't handle the LSAT pressure during the real deal, think about LAW SCHOOLS EXAMS which counts for your entire grades, and think about the job searching process and the OCI bullshit, and ultimately the BAR EXAM. And once you have the "privilege" to work for a large law firm, your partner will be crashing down on your ass and make you work 15 hours a day. Think about all that shit before you decide on retaking.
If you fuck up under pressure, or you're really not sure why you wanna go to law school (which I suspect most people don't have a clue), then think about that first, perhaps you wanna choose another career path. Being a lawyer is NOT the most promising career in the world.
Yes, it's fucking cool to make 160k a year (which I will be, starting in 2014), but the time and sacrifice you make is equally big.

Re: IS LAW SCHOOL REALLY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Ditto Sparty. I sucked at/hated the LSAT but I'm really good at law school exams. Also, several well-qualified kids at my 2L summer firm got no-offered, so don't get too cocky.sparty99 wrote:Why are you wasting people's time?

Not trying to waste anyone time here, all I wanted to say was people should think carefully about law school before torturing themselves with the LSAT.sparty99 wrote:Why are you wasting people's time?

Re: IS LAW SCHOOL REALLY RIGHT FOR YOU?
A few facts to put things into context for those reading this thread:
1. OP attends Boston College of Law, which, according to LSP (LawSchoolTransparency), has a 68% placement of full-time employment and 23% under-employed. Starting salaries are unknown for this law school. I will take that "respectable law school" comment with a grain of salt.
2. OP has posted similar threads in the past. It appears to be routine for him/her.
OP, apparently you're under the impression that every law school applicants wants BIGLAW. Many do not. Moreover, as someone who has worked in BIGLAW, I am aware that partners are not "crashing down your ass making you work 15 hours a day". It's the clients who demand such hours and for junior associates, most work is channeled from senior associates and seldom from partners until you prove yourself. And FYI, the arbitrary number of 15 hours/day is not the standard. Most of your work schedule will be determined by two things: 1) need/how busy your department and 2) your work product.
I would advise any prospective law student reading this thread that your decision to cancel is in no way a reflection of your ability to succeed in law school (Boston College of Law, included). Rather, it shows that you understand how serious this test is in determining your future prospects. Just go in there next time knowing that this test is conquerable and you will destroy it.

Re: IS LAW SCHOOL REALLY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Apparently you took the time to read through my past post from over a year ago, congrats on wasting your time. Since you like to dig for information, FYI I'm no longer at BC, I transferred to another law school in Washington DC this year. But for what it's worth, BC was a great school, and it is a respectable law school, so please don't try to use your unreliable data to suggest otherwise.BlaqBella wrote:A few facts to put things into context for those reading this thread:

Re: IS LAW SCHOOL REALLY RIGHT FOR YOU?
You must be a special snowflake. Most 160k/year firms do not provide permanent offers until after you've summered with them which for you would be in Summer 2013. Moreover, you haven't even sat and passed the bar exam yet (more often than not, you being kept as a firm employee is contingent on this).tepper wrote:Yes, it's fucking cool to make 160k a year (which I will be, starting in 2014), but the time and sacrifice you make is equally big.

Re: IS LAW SCHOOL REALLY RIGHT FOR YOU?
This isn't a very helpful message. I was really nervous about taking the LSAT. I took it three times and the first two times I had trouble sleeping the night before. The LSAT can actually be more important than law school exams. (Example: A few points on the LSAT can make or break you for admissions at schools like CCN. But the different between a B or B+ (or a point or two for Chicago) on any particular exam will not make or break you--at some schools the more important part is actually getting into the school.)tepper wrote:No offense or anything, but seriously, those of you who took the LSAT today and kept on wondering whether or not if you should cancel, perhaps law school is not right for you. I'm not saying this to piss you off or make you feel worse, but realistically, you should think carefully about this whole law school thing.
I'm currently a 2L at a respectable law school, and I tell you, if you can't handle the LSAT pressure during the real deal, think about LAW SCHOOLS EXAMS which counts for your entire grades, and think about the job searching process and the OCI bullshit, and ultimately the BAR EXAM.

Yes, it's fucking cool to make 160k a year (which I will be, starting in 2014), but the time and sacrifice you make is equally big.
Even at schools where you need to do fairly well to be competitive for biglaw, a person who stressed out about the LSAT can do well on law school exams. It's just a different experience. Yes, a person who is having panic attacks and who is going absolutely crazy about the pressure might be in trouble. But someone who just is stressed out and considering canceling? Hell, I thought I absolutely screwed up on my last take and would have considered cancelling if that had been my first take experience, even though I ended up scoring above my average. I've been able to do well in law school (and, yes, there are law school exams I wish I could have "cancelled" immediately after taking them).
Also, you might want to take it easy on already claiming to have biglaw lined up post-law school as a 2L, unless you actually have already received a post-law school offer. Even if you are going to a firm with a history of 100% offer rates, there's no reason to jinx it.
