[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An LSAT score is the most important factor in law school admissions, although GPA is important, too. Once your child takes the LSAT you’ll have a better sense of things. [/quote]

Eh… not sure this is the case. You are saying one test has more sway than 4 years of grades? That makes zero sense.[/quote]

Yes, LSAT is more important than grades. LSAT is the best predictor of success in law school, and law school grades are the best predictor of success on the bar.

OP -- many people on this thread do not know what they are talking about. If your kid's degree is in ME/EE and they can write and communicate well, they will have very good job prospects as long as they do well in law school. It doesn't have to be at a top law school either. There's a market for people like this in the patent world. But your kid should understand that patent law (which is just one area of IP) isn't the only place a tech background can be useful for lawyers. Law & tech is a huge field with many possibilities.

Have you been paying attention to law school admissions this year?

Yes, job prospects will be great but getting into the schools of choice/and or financial aid from the schools is the bigger issue. My KJD dc has a 3.8 and 170s LSAT and is waitlisted everywhere. He is not alone. Work experience will definitely counter this. [/quote]
Would be patent lawyers don't need T14 or bust, so it's a lot easier.[/quote]

Nobody needs "T14 or bust." [/quote]
