Default Re: Law School Application Time

Affirmative action in law schools is ridiculous, especially at the top schools. A classmate of mine at Princeton got in at Harvard with a 158. I know a number of white/asian kids with 170+ LSATs who were rejected.

I'm all about a leg up for disadvantaged kids, but that kind of gap is ridiculous and it guarantees poor performance relative to classmates.

Nobody wants to admit it, but the # of african american students cracking 170 on the LSAT is in the single digits annually. De facto quotas mean they have to dig pretty deep.
