landing high paying job =/= good attorneyhowever, i do agree that a high LSAT will open more doors for you. i think that's what you're getting at. i don't think i'd describe it has predictive of being a good attorney though.
Chipotle is great, but nothing beats SoCal hole in the wall Mexican joints.

There is a big difference between financial success of an attorney and effectiveness.I do think that the ability to do well on the LSAT does indicate a good level of intelligence and critical thinking skills.That's why I think it makes up 25% of being a good lawyer.Either way, GPA means way less than most people think.

I agree. Where'd 25% come from?
Back to Chipotle...I am a Chipotle addict. I see it and have to stop *blushes*
