[quote=Anonymous]Ok but think of the impact such a decision has on your kid. I had a Slac classmate who wound up at Yale law a year after I showed up - but was unusual for our Slac to send anyone to a T3 law school and certainly not a B student (which I knew him to be -same major at a small college). I was standing with him next to his student mail box. He was throwing stuff in the trash. Mecha stuff. He explained “they think I’m Mexican - or Latino”. I said “you are?” Because I had known him for years and he was whiter than l was. Granted he had a Hispanic last name but He was rich Castilian. And he was adrift at law school, felt the imposter syndrome and went with an in-house corporate position (no clerkship, no BigLaw) and dropped out of sight. So before you do this think of how your children might feel about this[/quote]
