It's a rough gauge of your intelligence.  As a competitive law school applicant, if you had chosen not to practice and improve your score, I would probably say you're an idiot.

The reason it's justifiable as a tool for admissions is that experience/evidence has shown that LSAT score is a more reliable indicator of law school performance than undergraduate GPA.

You state in your post that the LSAT is a "rough gauge of your intelligence."  Without trying to be argumentative at all, I wonder....if you had scored lower, say in the 130's or 140's, would you be saying the same thing? 

Second, what evidence do you have to support your claim?  The LSAT tests three spheres of thinking and reasoning, and is really just a really good gauge of one's ability to take a standardized test in a pressure-cooker evironment.

Basically, I really don't agree with you....one's LSAT score is completely and totally unrelated to one's intelligence or their ability to succed in law school.

The prosecution offered no hard, conclusive evidence that Peterson killed Laci and Conner; indeed, they admitted that definitive evidence didn't exist!! I don't think they presented a strong enough case for a conviction, and certainly think the death penalty was thr wrong punishment in this case.

you probably were more focused on the evidence than i was. i just saw what was on the television or my mom's people magazine. what other possibility were you more convinced of? a friend of the family? a vagabond? would the defense have validity in saying that the location where the bodies were found was just coincidence?

That's the thing...the jury wasn't responsible for seeking out other possibilities...they were there to render a verdict based on the available evidence....none of which was conclusive.

I apologize for the accusatory tone I took.  To me, full disclosure is just that.....telling the full truth.  Especially when you're applying to law school, where ethics and honesty and of the utmost importance

Full disclosure is what they ask for, and that's what an applicant is expected to give

I've already disclosed it on all my applications, so that's not an issue.  And why would someone tell me to delete this discussion thread, or was that a joke (albeit not a really good one)?
