Law School Applications / Re: Do I have a shot at the top, specifically the T14« on: July 06, 2005, 02:08:28 PM »
This is obviously a flame OP. Hypothetically, however, with those numbers I think you could get into the t-14 even with that major just because of your LSAT score. Remember its a numbers games and high splitters usually sneak into somewhere in the t-14. Low UG Gpas are easy to explain, especially for someone who displays their intellectual aptitude on the LSAT with a 179. I know this is flame, but future splitters shouldn't be dissuaded from applying to top schools even though they have a mediocre GPA in a relatively easy major.

If you can write coherently, you should be able to sneak into a couple of the t-14

My old laptop is the 8600, which is now considered the 6000. It's not heavy at all.

LSAC and LSDAS / Re: Grades« on: June 21, 2005, 07:18:38 PM »
no LSAC should have counted that grade, if they didn't then they made a mistake. My ugrad has the same policy and a class grade that I repeated was coutned adn affected my LSDAS GPA.

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: anyone else super lazy« on: June 21, 2005, 01:48:16 AM »They don't call it "boot camp" for nothing. Law school is just as much about testing your dedication as it is your intelligence. At the end of the semester, the highest grades go to those who put in the time and effort. From what I gather, the time crunch will consume upwards of 20% of the first-year class, and they'll be too swamped to keep up. You'll be reading about four or five hours a day, with more thrown in to brief and outline. To a certain extent you may be correct, but studying time is not necessarily the only variable in predicting LS success. I guarantee if you ask current students about studying time and correlation with grades, you will find it's all over the place. Why? Because it's all about knowing what to study. You can waste your time learning every thing about every case and take 8 hours a day and another classmate can take 2 hours a day to completely understand the application of the law and the overarching issues that were contained within the holding of a case, rather than tedious details and the second student would get better grades. Moral of the story: Don't just study hard, study smart. Just because you are putting in the time doesn't mean you are being efficient. 8
General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: We should all be quite proud.« on: June 20, 2005, 09:24:56 PM »I was wading through the numbers today, and it appears that roughly 48,000 people enrolled in first-year law school classes last year. The number for our class should hover somewhere around that one, give or take a few thousand. Terrible inference 9
