Law School Discussion

But how are homosexuals deviants?  Where is this assumption coming from?

EDIT: Law school is not the professional world.  It is academia.

Homosexuals deviate from stratified sexual norms.  In Western Society we have established the monogamous heterosexual relationship represented by marriage.  Homosexuals, just like swingers, pedaphiles, bestalists, etc. are outside of this norm.  Being different isn't always good.

Law School is academia but much more tied to the professional world.

3 LORs is plenty.  Is your internship academic?  Do you know this coordinator well or are you just using her because of who she is?  I'd say the first and third one you listed are going to be your best bets, the internship person is optional.

Undergrad is lame.  I don't blame you for wanting to get out.  But Ali G up there is right; do it right.  Do what you need to in order to look like you enjoyed it and made the right "UG" choices.

Avoid getting knocked up.

It's not as cute as that movie with Grey's Anatomy girl.

There is nothing 'wrong' with graduating in three years; it is not looked upon 'unfavorably.'

That being said, it is not looked upon as a plus.  You graduated college.  If graduating early means that you're unable to put together an impressive undergraduate career, then you are at a disadvantage.  For example, let's say you get a 3.95 GPA and then end up with an LSAT around 166.  You will probably get a bite or two from the T14; but the liklihood is lessened if you don't have anything on your applicaton except for graduated in 3 years, didn't do anything but go to class, no real committment to volunteer work or even lame ECs like student body organizations and special interests.  Took the summer's off taking powerscore classes.  If on the other hand you are involved in school; get some papers published, play a sport, double major in different colleges, and genuinely appear enthused in your undergraduate career you will be on an equal footing likely with many of the candidates you are competing with for the scarce 3.95/166 T14 admits.

Do not assume you are special because you graduated in 3 years.  You're not. 

What did you write your PS about?  I can't imagine it being much better than the "coming out" topic, or else you would be headed somewhere better than Texas Tech or UNM.  Or maybe you came off like such a pr*ck that those are the only schools that would take you? 

No offense to anyone who attends Tech or UNM...

I was admitted and offered money at schools ranked much higher than UNM and Texas Tech.  I wanted to stay in New Mexico.

For the record, I am not a bigot.  On this thread I have only spoke to the very real assumptions that professionals have about homosexuals.  Sexuality is not something that belongs in the workplace and neither does deviancy.  Sexual deviants then are not looked upon favorably.
