[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. You all confirmed my fears. I don't imagine her getting into a T10, maybe a T14, but probably somewhere in the 20s. She's a biology major at an okay public school so her grades are probably not up to par. Does it help that she's a STEM major? I feel like she's being too idealistic about this and her parents are being too encouraging. Can I send them articles or is that too passive aggressive? [/quote]

How do you know her grades aren't good?  One can get good grades as a bio major at a state school.  And there's no point in raining on the parade yet.  She hasn't even applied yet!  It doesn't sound like she's even taken the LSAT yet.

And yes, sending them articles is really passive-aggressive.  The next time you talk to them, ask questions about her research into schools and employment opportunities, ask if she's done informational interviews with attorneys practicing in the field.  If she hasn't, encourage her to do so, so she has a better idea of what's involved and whether it's what she wants to do.  If she's totally clueless, worry then.  But if she's taking it seriously, she'll be fine.  [/quote]
