Current Events > Anyone go to law school?

(+) Yeah! (+)

How hard is the admission test? I took pre-law courses in college but only a few

Not as hard as my erection, sexy.

I finished the first year, but dropped out at the end of that.

I barely even remember the LSAT. I got a decent score, but didn't know that you could just guess on the questions without being penalized, so I left quite a few blank. Would have been at least a little higher if I knew that.

Still, I only applied to two schools and got accepted to both with only a slightly above average score.

What you should really be asking, though, is how much you really want to be lawyer and how much you actually know about the legal field.

If you're not 110% sure you know what you're getting into and that you want to do it the for the rest of your life, then you need to re-evaluate. You'll most likely have over $100k in loan debt from the three years of law school and, unless you go to an extremely prestigious law school or graduate in the top 10% of your class at an average school, you won't be working at a high profile firm making a lot of money.

I wanna be a private attorney or clinical psychiatrist. My major was English but I'm on track for a master's in psychology (I took the GRE last year and got accepted at UMich for their program), but have been told by half of my teachers/professors that I'd make a good lawyer if I tried because I'm pedantic and an eloquent, to the point speaker according to them; especially all of my English professors. Idk.

I know I'm probably idealizing the thought of it right now but mostly wanted to know how do-able it is. Like for undergrad I maintained a 3.9 gpa so I'm not dumb or anything lol....just a tad lazy at times

Also idk what I want or if I'll even like it but I have a weird history of excelling in fields I generally hate lol
