Date: April 1st, 2010 1:58 PM Author: Copper contagious friendly grandma state Want to keep my options open, I think.
I'm not sure I'm as into research as I think I am. If I HAVE to have a typical desk job, I'd rather be in a decent city making $160k while doing it.
I have a 3.7 science GPA; what LSAT score should I shoot for for HYS? T14 in general?
What's the best way to prep for this thing? |

Date: April 1st, 2010 2:02 PM Author: Grizzly hissy fit Get on Amazon and buy sets of "10 Official Past LSAT's" practice tests. Do not buy the Princeton Review or Kaplan "prep books" because those aren't necessarily actual test questions.
I got a 143 on my first try, luckily was accepted into Goldengate as an affirmative action admit, and transferred to UT after being in the top 11% of my class.

the powerscore lgb is the credited logic games method. you also may need the logical reasoning bible - i didn't use it, i found tests were sufficient.
apart from that you can buy nearly 50 released tests. take them like this:
1) one week x 2 test sections daily, untimed, working through all errors 2) if you can't consistently hit -0 to -3 in each section this way, repeat step 1 for another week 3) complete test with 45 min/section timing, half before half after lunch 4) work through all errors in step 3 5) repeat (3) and (4) 6) after that, do a test every day, cutting 1 min/section whenever you do better than -2 in that section 7) you'll start hitting 170+ in 30 minute sections consistently
congrats, you're done
i scored 175+, this is what i did |

Science majors should hit 0 error on games within the time limit after 2 or 3 practices. So you can stop practicing those altogether.
Reading comprehension is really easy too. Its the same as the SAT.. and you cant really improve it much anyways.
The only thing you need to really prep is the word logic questions. |

Date: April 1st, 2010 2:44 PM Author: lime preventive strike You need a solution to the optimization problem that is your utility function crossed with your employer's. If you think patent law, you're wrong.
1) For prosecution, you're more expensive than someone who didn't go to a good law school. They don't need great lawyers to do it. Thus, if they hire you, they lose money.
2) For litigation, you won't need your science degree at all, therefore you're not allocating your resources efficiently by doing it. Thus, if you work in it, you lose time spent getting your degree.
The only remaining appeal of science-pedigreed patent lawyers is that they impress clients. Of course you won't even see a client until your n-th year in practice. Most of my friends who did science are not in patent law, for these reasons. The problem with patent law is there is almost nothing empirical/theoretical about it. That's what science really is about, being empirical/theoretical. Science isn't about learning what a fucking molecule is and being able to explain it to some circuit court judge who flunked intro to chem. |

But people here are fools if they don't see that there's a huge qualitative difference between a med school path and a law school path.

Date: April 1st, 2010 8:42 PM Author: hateful motley factory reset button don't go to LS. hiring the last few years has been abysmal, and it is only getting worse. even if you get into CCN (as stated above, HYS is a stretch) you can still get median pwnd and have nothing to show for it (see SHOCK). the LS gamble is not what it used to be.
go get a phd or something, find a way to contribute to society.
if you absolutely must go to LS, only go where you get a full scholly. do not incur a massive amount of debt to roll the oci dice. |
