I'm a Boyd 1L on winter break. I'll be taking any and all questions for the next month. Ask away. I'll respond in the order questions are asked.

Where should I go next fall? / Southwestern University in Los Angeles, CA... Any comments?« on: July 25, 2008, 12:09:33 AM »
I was perusing ILRG.com today and noticed that Southwestern has some pretty impressive employment numbers for a T4 school. This seems very odd given the proliferation of top ranked schools in CA. I don't have a good explanation. They have a decent sized incoming class (roughly 680 or so) and post employment figures at graduation of 70-85%, better than many higher rated schools (even CA schools). My only thoughts are that the school is either padding its numbers; the jobs graduates get are very low rent; or the mass exodus of professionals in CA to surrounding states is taking a greater toll than estimated. Comments?

Where should I go next fall? / What My Chances at Lower T1 and T2 Schools?« on: July 05, 2008, 06:22:11 PM »
I have a low LSAT score with a high GPA: 157, 3.9 (LDAS). Do I have a shot at any of the following schools:
USC U of Texas, Austin U of Florida U of Alabama U of Utah UNC Chapel Hill U of Arizona Arizona State UNLV I majored in accounting at UNLV, have two years of public accounting experience, and have remarkable LORs. Two of my LORs are from professors who are attorneys who I have developed very strong relationships with. My third LOR is from a client who is a CFO for a multi-state conglomerate in manufacturing. I helped them save several thousand $$$ on their audits pursuant to filing a registration statement. My goal is to work for SEC Enforcement or work white collar crimes prosecution for the DOJ or a state AG office. I will probably have to start my legal career as a criminal prosecutor. What are my chances at the schools that I have listed above? Should I retake the LSAT (157 is the low end of my average; 160 being the high end). My struggles on the LSAT are with the time constraints. With only five more minutes per section, my scores in practice jump up to 165-170. I don't know how worthwhile it would be to retake the exam, though. A second dismal performance would be more damaging than the first. Any thoughts?
