[quote=Anonymous]I have recently worked in law school admissions and some of this advice on the thread is very outdated and inaccurate. Harvard Law is not going to give out merit scholarships anytime soon, they don't care that much about the rankings and they withdrew from them arguing the the rankings award law schools that give merit scholarships to the students that are often the most privileged and they want to diversify the profession.

LSAT scores and GPA's have gone way up with the pandemic and easy grading and LSAT being able to be taken remote at home and only having one logical reasoning section.

Most top law schools have less than 25 percent of the class being straight from college. Major really doesn't matter very much, except in fields in which they need more lawyers in such as STEM.

Since the recession, top law schools don't really like "mature" applicants over the age of 30, there is a lot of ageism among the prestigious ones. They want students that are more likely to get a job at a top firm and pay off loans.

Regarding the "child" who was dismissed, that is unfortunate. However, the pressure of law school is intense and it doesn't seem like a good fit for them and would be an uphill battle to fight to finish and land a job. Take this as as a sign to pivot. Explore other professions, and take a career personality test to help figure this out.
