Law School Applications / Re: Engineering an ok major for law school?« on: July 11, 2008, 11:38:39 AM »If anything, the fact that your high GPA was earned as an engineering major will be a plus in comparison to people with similar numbers but fluffier majors. Very true. 42
General Board / Re: Fifth Tier Toilet« on: July 11, 2008, 11:37:11 AM »I do. Not everyone goes to law school because of economic reasons. Some people just want to be lawyers. Anyone who passes the bar can go out and hang up a shingle. Sure! Because you know, starting a brand new business which requires tens of thousands of dollars in start-up capital, plus the fact that you have a zero client base, plus the $150k in loans you have to start paying back immediately, is a piece of cake! Yeah, you're right, ANYBODY can just go out and hang a shingle.

Law School Applications / Re: Chances of Law School with a 2.65 and a LSAT score of 172?« on: July 11, 2008, 11:30:48 AM »I am looking at somewhere I can get in and be sure to get a job from. Something decent. If you crack the Top 25, I don't think you have to fret about finding a decent job. Assuming you won't be a slacker and assuming you'll be active in school, you'll be fine. 44
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Ohio State with a 3.01« on: July 11, 2008, 11:22:21 AM »Your chances are pretty low with a 160. Ohio State has a very high median GPA of 3.6, which kills you. Even their 25% GPA is out of range, 3.34. On second thought, I think given the fact that you're a woman and your mom is an alum of OSU...that will help your case a bit. A 165 I imagine would definitely get you in, probably even less than that. If you're a URM, then I say apply no matter what score you get. If not, if you score at least a 158, definitely apply. 45
Where should I go next fall? / Re: St. Louis University or the University of Denver« on: July 10, 2008, 12:44:27 PM »Oh my god, I am so confused. Are we talking about SLU or WUSTL?? Wow....well then, just for the record, my previous advice a few posts up is completely irrelevant. I compared Denver and Washington University in St. Louis. Nevermind. My apologies. 46

Heh. What the hell happened to this thread?
So I wonder where the OP ended up going? 47

I'm curious where the OP decided?

However, I think you have a VERY DECENT shot at some solid schools outside of that group. Interesting. I hope you're right! OP, keep us updated, and good luck!

Geez. This is like NYU and NYLS. Heh. 50

However, I think you have a VERY DECENT shot at some solid schools outside of that group. I think it's very unlikely to crack the T14, but I think you're right. Some schools are better than others about splitters, so you never know. I CERTAINLY encourage the OP to apply to a few schools in the T14, absolutely! The odds are against him/her, but it's certainly worth trying. With a LSAT of 172, you definitely have to try. But I do think he has a great shot at some other schools ranked outside the T14, but within the T25, which is good news. |
