@EvolBunny: I said the vast majority dumbass. There's only 4k people with a 170+ and 6k people in the T20. The lowest LSAT median in the T20 is 169, so yes the vast majority of people (as in 70ish percent) with a 170+ are going to the T14.

I think some of that comes from a feeling that law school is a major commitment and you should be sure about it moreso than the value of the work experience

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: right? would love to see some analysis on this

I feel like as you get more WE you have diminishing returns. Not sure someone with 20 years of work is valued more than 5 or 10 unless it's been ground-breaking stuff

realizing now the correct spelling of groundbreaking is unhyphenated. I knew it looked wrong

I think it has to be proffesional or law related kind of work experience to mean anything significant. Entry level assistant jobs people get fresh from college has to be like ehhhh.

@babycat: I think Dean z did a podcast on this

I don't really trust what she says 100% of the time. I think there's an impulse to say things because they sound nice and fair even if they're not true
12:59
texas law, you are clearly a humanities idiot who never dealt with stats and i will no longer be engaging your dumbass on this topic
JumpySubsequentDolphin
12:59
oh yeah for sure
@EvolBunny: that's rich coming from the person with a 163 LSAT score
but, hey, if you can't understand medians, your loss

I think work experience helps in two different ways. One is showing maturity, and the other is doing something difficult/challenging.

Dean Z can only speak to her school and when she is in charge. Does not apply to other schools fully. Talked to a few deans of admissions and they say ignore all the social media deans because they can't speak for how other schools operate
damn getting heated and yeah no worth engaging
babycat

Lmao I ignore all the social media deans already

So you get points for any professional work experience just for maturity reasons, and more consideration if that work is difficult
13:01
and maybe another consideration for if the work aligns with what you intend to do in law

I hate when St. John's emails me with a subject line that's like a TikTok trend or something. pissing me off
I don't know Dean Z does have some helpful tidbits. I think in the KJD episode, she mentioned that she looked more for a why law for KJD's.

@BruceSutter: I think the maturity factor is the biggest one playing against KJDs. WE shows you have more life experience and maybe more maturity to help. The level of work matters.

@babycat: was that the one with the dean having a bratt girls summer? I thought it was troll/spam and I lost respect for the school.
