How I Got Into A Top Law School

I thought you were going to say…”and after watching law and order, that provided the basis of my legal education.” 😂

Awesome!

Sexy ass lawyer 🔥🔥🔥

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!

'...but then I learned architects can't carry machine guns either, so...'

Listening to this honestly makes me feel a little bitter about my cycle haha. LSAT and GPA inflation, especially over the past 4 years has been insane. I graduated Magna cumme laude and scored a 173 and was locked out of the t6. I was lucky enough to get into Berkeley, Duke, and Cornell but hearing someone get into Stanford with a 172/170 just makes me sooooo salty lol.

Thank you for sharing very thorough and informative

So I go to special Ed because my country is more about embracing than medicating but im wondering if I redo my school years including college and all that if I can still become a lawyer or is my chance blown

i’m entering my freshman year of high school and i’m super set on going towards a career in law. i’m still kinda mad that lawyers don’t dramatically shout “objection” like in ace attorney, but whatever

If you want to find the best law school, see the attorneys who WON the most significant settlements or got the worst criminals off; that will tell you who has the BEST law school. Just so you know, IVY LEAGUE law schools are not the best law schools. The TOP LAWYERS you read about did not go to IVY LEAGUE law schools.

lmao what you call "pestering" they apparently interpreted as "passion".

good on you.

and for the rest of you, if you want that promotion or raise or whatever, dont keep it a secret and dont stop following up.

i scored high my first time taking the may 2020 lsat on an lsat practice site as a boredom thing but i know that reading as much as a lawyer does would make me insanely miserable lmao

law is the child of logic

philosiphy is the human attempt at codifying logic

or is that the other way around?

anyway, take philosiphy or logic majors as your bachelors.

they sound useless, and they sure as f!%k are by themselves, but youll learn the very most essential foundations of law.

I just took my LSAT the other day! I’m super nervous to get my results but I’m one step closer to being an attorney so that’s a W.

Where did you work during undergrad, during law, etc?

I still say something rigorous and employable in its own right, like Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or Accounting, is something to major in in Undergrad. You will have a resume that exceeds 80% of lawyers for lucrative jobs in tech companies or law firms that cater to tech companies, or finance firms like investment banks or buy-side firms. Plus, if you have to delay going to law school for whatever reason, you can get a good job at age 22 in between. Also, a 3.2 GPA in that is competitive with a 3.9 in a H&SS major.

Ah. May have even seen you while I was napping on the law school benches while in between classes at Dodd Hall.

Holy moly that man's jaw

I know you mentioned that there is no major that really prepares one for law school, but what do you think about majoring in classics--particularly Latin, where one will study the works of Cicero?
I minored in Latin in college and for a little while I felt like I was learning the fundamentals of constructing an argument...

Fictional depictions of the field have lured many young people into the depths of the most parasitic profession on the planet, one that's destined to be replaced by AI as it's more aptly represented by weasels rather than eagles when left to it's own devices.

Wow, LSAT must be crazy for a UCLA undergrad that graduated top of his class and had all of extracurriculars on his belt to not be immediately accepted into UCLA Law School

Hey!! I assume this is rather common because I had always wanted to BE Lawyer and Practice law. In the Honours Faculty for English/ Hist, in 4th year I took 2 Business courses - Tort and contract Law. Loved both. On my first exam, I was ill, so, my Department head gave me a reprieve - I was allowed a two week extension before the Final Exam. Time came and my Prof. couldn't accommodate my Schedule-He already Had! So I end up writing the tort Final in a conference room alone, at his law firm. In the 80's you could still smoke, basically everywhere; I ended up being served coffee with fresh ashtrays during the 3 hr exam. Scored an 80 and told me friends. Ended up as a Counsellor for troubled Folk. The roads we take.... I am too old to start Law now, again, much to my chagrin. I watch a lot of Law-online these days, including this learned man's channel. Unfulfilled Dreams, eh?

I'm thinking about being a lawyer

Besides having a 4.0 and scoring high enough on the LSAT, is there any other extracurricular things I should do when applying to the Top 20’s? Thanks!

How long before graduating should I take the LSAT?

He got in by getting straight A's, winning national mock trial twice in a row, slaying a dragon, and taking a lot of LSAT practice

I'm going to UCLA law on a scholarship this fall! Go Bruins!

Talk about high expectations and financial resources, having to resign yourself to going to law school at USC, a prestigious private school in Southern California.

What was your cold diagnostic LSAT score?

Some police can carry machine guns. Just saying.

Best major for lawyers is an English degree actually

And I am ready now

objection lsat is scored 120-180

Should’ve become a JAG officer. Best of both worlds.

Well, I correct myself -- if you're staying in LA, UCLA is by far the best among those you listed in that area.

Ummm...UCLA is a good law school, but not among the "best"

TBH, I think the Philosophy major does help and it's the only major that will help. But there's no reason why you should major in philosophy when you have absolutely no interest in it, just to become a lawyer. Also, if you're not from the US, and if the philosophy major in your country doesn't do formal logic, philosophy won't help that much, either. But if you are going to a US school, where philosophy majors deal with logic problems all the time, doing well in philosophy will help. LSAT questions aren't that hard and there's not much to prep for, if you graduated summa cum laude in philosophy from one of the highly regarded universities. Again, this is not a good reason to major in philosophy because you can always study for LR and LG separately.

I'll be 'that' person. Since you seem to be a guy ... your story would be "Legally Brunet". Brunette, and Blonde, are the feminine form of the words. Thanks for a great story. :D

I'm in I.T. and thinking like a lawyer helps when dealing with people. It's crazy how that parallel exists. I also provide I.T. services for lawyers, so his channel really helps me to understand how lawyers think.

Just finished my undergraduate application and your story is getting me a deja vu of the personal statement.

I object:
- It's rediculous.
- LSAT time would be better spent on Civil Procedure.

I object:
----------
- It seems odd that you cannot take core law courses as an undergrad.
- Ones that have practical application.
- It's rediculous.
- UK is different I believe.
- THAT IS CORRUPTION IN ITSELF as far as Politics goes. LSAT.😆

Thank you this is so helpful. I want to get a masters degree before going into law school is that ok to do?

Actually, if English is not your first language and going to law school is still your dream, then, Political Science in my opinion is the best major should be chosen, because it requires so many English skills that are also required for law school.

🎉🎉🎉I took my LSAT last month and made it thanks to Mr clark who helped me with tutoring after studying with him for two weeks I had 160points. He provided me with tips and questions which greatly helped me.I want to recommend you all to him he has the key to success in his hands.After writing for 4 times I made it thanks to him.🎉🎉🎉🎉.

turns out they aren't allowed to carry machine gun, I'm use this some day

I'm stuck between being a Lawyer and a Doctor
