[quote=Anonymous]No, and it would be a little crazy to go into any top law school with that expectation.  There are just so many talented and accomplished people at those top schools.  I was at the top of my law school class and frankly did not go in with that expectation.  (the law school did not reveal a valedictorian, only a top 10, I think?  anyway, I was in whatever top few they announced.)  I was super-motivated, mostly worried about humiliating myself in front of all those incredibly smart, together, accomplished classmates, many of whom had privileges that made mine seem meager.  And I found I had a talent for the peculiar way of thinking that lends itself to law school exams.

That said, I wouldn't go out of your way to try to burst her bubble.  She might be a genius, she might be going to a less competitive school, or she might be a really committed hard worker with a talent for this.  If you want to help, I seem to recall there were a couple of useful, short books I read about how to study for law school.   Also, some stress relief care packages towards examtime would not go amiss.[/quote]
