How could a shrew bring you down? It wasn't just too soul-crushing?

I consider whether actually studying would have improved my future but i ended up in biglaw and got breakfast anyway.

but i had always thought tutoring could be an out. I helped a lot of kids get from mediocre scores to really good scores (for them). i got one kid from 166-172 - he went to HYSCCN

My biggest achievement was one girl who went from 130 to 146 and actually got into law school to live her dream. she was rich and engaged and her fiancé wanted me dead.

also, did you ever have students who just COULD NOT IMPROVE NO MATTER WHAT because they had already studied a lot and improved a lot before they came to you?

how the hell did you get 40 hours a week? kaplan? testmasters?

A lot of my hours were tutoring, although I had the odd class here and there. I guess i didn't average 40 hours - i probably averaged 25. I would do 2 hour tutoring sessions. Classes were pretty good. 2x/week and would get "prep" time. Also had a job in the office designing portions of the LSAT program and providing "support."

Fiance wanted to kill me because i was spending too much lone time.

taught it for 2 years as a 2L and 3L; always felt bad for the people who couldn't hack it; best student went from a 153 to a 171 on test day, worst student started at 157 and could never break a 168 even after 6 months

These days, about 14,000 applicants each year have LSAT scores of 160 or higher.

I doubt these people that grind out the LSAT prep for 2 years end up choosing not to go law school. So the enrollment of people who are actually smart in law schools these days is shockingly low.

Divided by 300 that means about 40 schools are needed for those students.

I took PT after PT moving up from low 150s to low 160s, but it wasn't until I drilled by question type until I moved into the low 170s.

what ls rank?

taking hundreds of prep tests is more about getting their atrophied brains to function.

ONE YEAR STUDY PLAN

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3807563&forum_id=2#35899544)

But the one and only test I took under timed conditions was the actual IRL test.

I walked out of it feeling like I could have done better. I got a 162.

I ended up leaving law school after 1L due to horseshit grades. Didn't fail any classes but I got like 2-3 Ds. I caught a bought of depression and stopped going to classes.

All things told, I guess I don't quite have a lot of regrets because I definitely would have hated being a lawyer and would flamed the fuck out at some point anyway. But it really is a fine line, and the whole concept that I could have gotten into a better school & finished my JD & stuck it out for a few years in biglaw is really appealing

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3807563&forum_id=2#35906487)

But I'm a nontrad with a shitty resume & I would absolutely flame out in biglaw, so there is no point to that approach.

If I were to ever be a lawyer, my only hope would be to go to a TTT on a heavy scholarship and hang my own shingle
