Title: Looking for: Service for admission to top law school. (or LSAT sit-in)
Post by: blowdrobro on July 11, 2012, 02:45 am
I finish UG this year and I was wondering if there was anyone who could provide this type of service. I feel pretty confident about my chances, but I love a sure thing. Post here or PM me. Thanks.

You'll never pull this off.  Besides, if you cannot score, you won't make it in law school.  It is *really* that hard. 

1L is like committing suicide by 1000 cuts.  Further, if you're going to a T2 or T3, you should really get a scholarship. The LSAT is a bitch, but it's only a prelude.  Once you're in, you have exams, which can never be retaken. The stress between exams and when grades are release is horrible. I went in my 30s, and nearly ended up divorced.  They change you, seriously.  If you make it through exams, then you have 3 years of studying 12 - 14 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week.  Then, if you make it through that, you have the bar exam - 3 days of 8 hours exams.  Crazy, you think a 4 hours LSAT is hard, wait until the bar.  If you pass the bar, you take a C&F exam.  Since your on this site, you likely have a few skeletons in the closet.  I do, but they found them. Nothing like sit in front of a panel of six judges and lawyer grilling you about stealing a car as a teen.  Oh yea, lying is bad.  If you're caught, which you will be at some point.  You're disbarred. 

Get past that, and you are left with 150K in non-forgivible loans with TERRIBLE job prospects.  As a prior business owner, I had the capital and balls to open a 5 lawyer firm.  I got lucky.

A lot of pre-law student think they can out work the others and finish in the top.  I thought that too.  I was wrong.  You are competing against geniuses that are just as driven as yourself.  There is not enough time in the day.  I slept 4 hours a night for two years. Everyone is using Adderall - it is the only way to stay competitive.

Also, law students are FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS.  Nothing like getting 90 type A personalities together that all think they are god's gift to legal reasoning.  I grew up on the other side of the tracks, so I found it amusing when the intellectual nerd slap fight began.  Funny stuff.

Need an obscure book from the reference library?  It's missing or the pertinent pages are razor cut out.  Ask anyone with a JD and PhD or MD, and you always get the same answer.  Law school was much more difficult.  For my first month, I sat behind an orthopedic surgeon and to my right, the mayor of the second largest city in the state.  I dropped out of high school, so needless to say, I was intimidated.  That is, until they both dropped out of law school. 

You must do the LSAT on your own.  I sucked at it.  First try: 158, second: 172.  I took a prep course and took every prep test at least three times.  The test is learnable.  I don't mean to be harsh, but if you cannot do the easiest test in a string of three years of hell and then the bar, you're wasting huge amounts of money.

Anyhow, if you want, I still have thousands of dollars worth of prep material.  I have a high end scanner for scanning casebooks to my iPad, if you want them, I'll digitize them into PDFs and email them. 

The bright-side is that once you finish, you earn instant respect from every lawyer you encounter.  You become a BAMF - Bad Ass Mother Fucker!

It's 6:45 in the morning, and I've been prepping for trial since yesterday at 8 am.  It does not get easier, but you do get paid.  Billing rates for new associates start around $250/hr.  And most firm require 2,200 hours in billable a year.  For me, it is the fight that keeps me going, money is just the bonus.  I love beating prosecutors in drug cases.

Send me a PM if needed.
