Right? What am I missing? Race is, by definition, a social factor, and the word socioeconomic is formed by combining social + economic.Explain please!Sorry but you're wrong. You're right that race is a social factor but it is by no means the only social factor. Families, peers and schools are social factors as well. If a white kid grew up in foster homes with abusive parents and went to poor schools then it is clear that he had a disadvantaged childhood. If a black kid grew up in Beverly Hills with a spinal surgeon father and an attorney for a mother, chances are he didn't have a very disadvantaged childhood. Obviously these are extreme examples. So when I say that I want it to be based on social variables with a racial exclusion, there's nothing wrong with that. Plenty of racial minorities will still be helped since they tend to come from disadvantaged backgrounds.Did you fail the LSAT?@#!* all of ya'll, I made an A+ on my LSAT, and with the bonus questions, I got a 120. Suck it.I wonder if anyone actually does get a 120 on it. I'm sure some must but damn. I mean getting 15 questions right still gets you the lowest score possible on the test. Kinda ridiculous.

Kinda ridiculous.If it's really normalized, should be about the same as the number who make 180s.No, what seems bizarre to me are the people who can answer questions right to the point of getting 130ish, but no more. It's better than just guessing, but it's like...huh?
Well yes it SHOULD be, but when you consider that getting 15 right out of 100 still gets you an 100, it seems to me that there would be more people getting <=15 right out of 100 than there are people getting 99 or 100 out of 100( typical requisite scores for the 180), right?
Wouldn't you get 120 for just showing up and putting your name on it? Or if you get NONE right, what score would you get?
