@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same

the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14

babycat

15:45

@info-man: agreed

babycat

15:48

just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say

fun fact gangs specifically have all their shooters be 12-16 year olds so they can go to juvee and get their charges sealed like nothing happened
