And of course you are, because you know that many of the topics, words, comments, and attitudes on YOUR board are completely unprofessional and unbecoming of future lawyers. You wouldn't have these kind of conversations in line at the grocery store, would you? No, you would be escorted out by security. Stop kidding yourself!

5 hours studying? Well if I take 15 hours of classes a week, that is only 75 hours a week of outside work- 90 hours total work per week leaves me with 78 whole hours of free time! That seems like alot of free time. Maybe 5 hours of studying isn't enough. I will ask my cousin.

Turn that frown up side down missy. I know Chicago was your dream school, but just because they rejected you within three days of being complete does not mean that you won't get in. I mean that 2.7 gpa, 146 lsat, and those two years spent as an intramural ref. have got to count for something!!!!!! I bet they send you an apology for this mistaken rejection with an attached acceptance letter in the next week or so... But just in case, apply to Depaul... Really it is just as good as Chicago, in fact they have guy on the faculty who is very respected in his field and this means auto connections to big law upon graduation. Not that big law matters anyways, You probably don't want to do that and you are perfectly happy being a public defender. CONGRATS!!!!!

I just found out that Concord Law School (The distance learning program), now requires a bachelors degree for admissions. Sometimes I think this world is so elitist.
Date: April 25th, 2005 10:16 PM Author: Galvanic sienna forum volcanic crater
Concord Law School is an excellent place of higher learning. That being said, there are some issues that need to be clarified.
1. Do IVY League schools "look down" on Concord?
Answer: Yes. They also look down on all state universities that are not rated in the top tier. You do yourself a disservice if you chose your school based on how students at IVY league schools will perceive you.
2. What are Concord's Bar passage rates?
Answer: Concord is a new institution. It was founded in 1998. Only two classes have sat for the California Bar. Six out of the ten students passed the first time out of the original class. Six out of fourteen passed on the first try from the second class. To date: 12 out of 24 have passed the California Bar exam on their first try.
3. How does this compare with other schools?
Answer: Pretty well. On the last Cal Bar exam, 3 of 5 Stanford students passed the exam. Only 38% of USC law school grads passed the same exam. UCLA was the only California school that posted an exceptional pass rate on the Cal Bar at 79%. Cooley, an ABA school in Michigan ,recorded a 0 out of 22 on the same test; no Cooley grad passed the Cal Bar. What does that say about Concord? They are doing pretty well at this point. The Cal Bar seems to be a particularly tough exam.
4. How selective is admittance to Concord?
Concord is not at all selective. Almost anyone can go there. HOWEVER! Beware. There is one large caveat. The State of California requires that all students from non-ABA approved schools must pass the FYLSX (First Year Law Exam) before they can receive credit for their second year of legal studies. The FYLSX is very difficult; many students from ABA schools could not pass it. So Concord's upper level students are a select group.
5. How does the FYLSX compare to the LSAT?
Answer: It does not at all. The FYLSX is far more difficult. Moreover, the FYLSX tests students on their first year of legal studies. The LSAT is a multiple guess test on logic problems. All in all, it is easier to make it at an ABA school if you are only an average law student. BTW -- tier 4 ABA schools are not very hard to get into; getting a 148 on the LSAT is a lot easier then passing the FYLSX!
6. Is Concord inexpensive?
Answer: yes and no. If you score in the 160's on the LSAT, you can attend most tier 4 law schools free of charge. Concord does not offer financial aid. So a tier 4 ABA school may cost less if you do reasonably well on your LSATs. However, Concord, despite its lack of ABA accreditation, may be better than many tier 4 ABA schools, so be careful. (Keep in mind that Concord only lacks ABA accreditation because it is an Internet school. Concord is well-regarded academically.) Ultimately, you want the best education for the money. It is what you *learn* that will determine your future.
7. Describe the prototypical Concord student:
Answer: Very smart and very motivated. Concord's academic standards, from the first year on, are dictated by the California Bar. Students only have three times to pass the FYLSX. If they fail three times, they cannot finish their legal studies. Thus, Concord's standards are, by necessity, harder than those of many schools -- particularly in the early stages.
8. Can I become a practicing lawyer with a Concord degree?
Answer: Absolutely. You are initially limited to taking the Cal Bar; however, most states will allow you to take their state bars after you have practiced a year or so in California.
9. Can I make a living with my Concord degree?
Answer: A Concord degree is not the equivalent of a degree from Harvard, Yale, Michigan, Stanford, NYU, or Chicago. You should be aware that most law schools have regional reputations; a degree from Detroit's excellent Wayne State University Law School is golden in the Detroit area, because many judges and attorneys in Detroit studied there. On the other hand, in California, a WSU degree is meaningless. As more and more Concord students pass the bar, these individuals will undoubtably begin law firms. As their firms are successful, Concord's reputation will spread and they will in turn hire more Concord graduates. This is the way all law schools (except those on the elite list) operate. Concord is new. There are only a handful of graduates. In the 1600's how many Law School graduates were there from the Harvard Divinity School? Were they respected by the elite institutions of Europe? Of course not! Judging the success of Concord's alumni in building solid relationships with the community at large is premature at this point. However, to date Concord has a fine record. Undoubtably they will succeed.
Thanks for the great post! That'll sure show those XOXO elitists! I just want to say one thing, though: Wayne State isn't just excellent in Detroit! My great-aunt's dog-walker's cousin is a lawyer in Phoenix, and he loves hiring Wayne State grads! They're so much better than those snobby Harvard and U. of Arizona grads, and they work harder so they make better lawyers!

Actually I visited U of Arizona last fall, and they werent snobby at all. I was expecting them to be really elitist because of their LSAT scores, but a lot of them were totally down to earth. They say you get a bit of a bump if you are an AZ resident. So it doesnt hurt to apply! or do like I'm doing--live there for a couple years and then apply.
nice, i guess i am better looking than i am intelligent...i only was able to get a 151...but i didn't prep a lot for that and i've been praticing untimed in the 160s range...maybe i can get my lsat up to my looks.

I want one that stands out in class so the professor notices me all the time! Oh, and it has to be able to fit into my rolly backpack.

Congrats on Florida Coastal, Peter!! I dont use a bookstand but I get my Profs attention every class. The key thing to remember is to try to answer every question so he knows you are motivated to succeed. Even if he is addressing another student, raise your hand if you know the answer. It will show that you are prepared and willing to participate.

Gee whiz, thanks The Tony Blair Witch Project!
I'll be sure to raise my hand as often as possible (and I should know most of the answers, since I'll be studying around 10 hours a day!) I think I'll invite my professors to meet my parents over dinner.

My pre-law advisor is being a total female hygene product and telling me that I have no shot whatsoever at NYU, Columbia, even Fordham and GW, with my 160/3.4, non URM, applying in January. Could this be true? Should I just give up? I know NYU and Columbia are reaches, but I think I Fordham and GW are really my targets.... I think he's just jealous and trying to kill my dreams...

Just make sure your PS has the right school's name in it, and you're in with no problems! Especially if you tell them you want NYU so you can help people.

Thank you so much! I do have a really good P.S. about the time I went to Brazil and driving from the airport to the hotel I saw some kids that looked homeless and really wanted to help them...
Since I posted this, I already have been accepted to Cooley, I cant wait to see the look on my advisor's face when he hears about it. Everyone out there who applied late, there's still hope, and I'm proof of it!!!

OMG!!! First off, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Cooley is a GREAT school! And 160 is a GREAT SCORE! You DEFINITELY have a chance at Columbia and NYU! People get in with lower than average numbers all the time. My second cousin knows a guy who was friends with a guy who got in with a similar score! You never know what AdComs are looking for, so why not try? Good luck!!!

I have to wonder if, for some people a high LSAT score and/or prestigious acceptance is a huge source of personal validation that is perhaps missing from other areas of those peoples' lives?

that's amazing and inspirations to all of us. soft factors are key to getting into law school. i'm sure they found that a BS in basket weaving will add to the diversity of the incoming class. Congrats! You deserve it.

Weave yourself a garland of A+ grades! Boalt has plenty of public interest law courses and you could be earning $15-24,000 annually with a Boalt degree! Who needs mean old U. Maryland anyway? (Actually, I would love to get in there myself. Will my 2.5 and 152 do it?)

Guys, I had a rough year my sophmore year which brought down my GPA. It sucked big male private part, but I joined the christian frat and the hell week was rough, then my fish died, and I may have consumed a bad sandwich. If u were an adcomm, would how many points would you add to my 2.47?

Funny, but of course in reality, the posters at lawschooldiscussion.org seem decent enough, whereas the people here seem, in the best light, emotionally disturbed. In the worst, they're just really shitty pricks with no redeeming qualities.
If the whole site is a joke, that's even sadder. You people need help.

This post is what this thread is all about. You just captured the heart and soul of what we do here at LSD. Those XOXO male private parts are such feminine hygiene products with all their prestige darn.

Wow are you really President Bush i cant believe your posting here on XOXOHTH.com with us law school applicants! I think we should pull out of Iraq because the rest of the world hates us now because of you.
Evening freinds from the South. i cant believe we already got this "lair" thread to 500 pages lol :)
I just got back from my first class and I just cant believe how liberal all the professors are! im no socialist!! i believe that everyone should be entirley responsible for themselfs. Just look at me, I got into LS and worked real hard to get my 160/3.14 (and that's from UNC, not some grade-inflating IVY) and *glowing* LoRs from my parents' friend whose firm they got me a paralegal job at.

this thread proves conclusively that you guys are all fags. Anyone who spends hours insulting retards needs to reassess who the real fucking douchebag is.

This whole thread is fucking hillarious. Granted, I hate most of the XOXO posters; I doubt any of them would have the nerve to talk such shit in real life; and I find them to be absolutely ridiculous, pompous, pretentious, pieces of shit. But come on, you have to admit... this thread is awesome. How can something so funny actually be that offensive?

Wow. Very astute observation, my good sir. Apparently, you have been spending less time playing Magic, and more time learning about 20th century American literature. I commend you!

Hi, so I'm a newbie, and I just wanted to apologize for my pitiful existence. I was over at LSD before, and OMG now I see how stupid I am!!! Thank you so much for pointing it out -- I'm totally not gonna waste my time going to law school anymore -- I'm just gonna hang out at the nearby bar and hope I can con one of you into marrying me (false pregnancy maybe). Oh, wait, you're too smart, you won't fall for that! S**t. Oh well, I guess I'll go commit suicide then. Sorry for wasting your time. You guys are great!!! :D

Guys, be really honest about my chances here because its been my lifeslong dream to attend law school and become a lawyer ever since I started reading John Grisham books. I plan to be a litigator and spend all of my time trying cases. I got into Princeton for undergrad but decided to take a scholarship at Maryland because it just made more financial sense. That said, I finished with a 3.6 in communication studies and believe my very strong grades make up for a relatively mediocre 155 on my LSAT. Keep in mind that I am THE SOFT FACTOR KING and I have been working at a very well known insurance defense law firm for the past two years. I have EXCELLENT LOR's from both partners there.
My dream school is Georgetown, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for getting accepted there part-time.
Also, I plan a career in academia after I litigate for a few years. Any suggestions on where else I should apply and what my chances would be? Is January to late to apply?
