I know a kid who had a 2.5, but had a 171 on his test and got into Georgetown. There are somewhere around 200 U.S. law schools, plus something like 20 in Canada.

Doesn't that make people mad. I know with the SAT, Mcat, GRE etc..... if you do well but have a low GPA then that's ok but god forbid it is the other way around. I am terrible at standardized tests but great at studying and making good grades. The fact that I was hammered at my vet. school interview about my crappy GRE score for at least 1/2 the interview and my good GPA was never brought up made me to say the least pissed off. I basically told the 2 Drs that The GRE meant nothing in my opinion. Just b/c a person can take an 6-8 hr test does not mean they are going to be able to have the study skills and time management to pass 21 hrs per semester of vet. school. I am surprised they let me in after making that comment. I would probably do horrible on the LSAT as I am a slow reader but I can read something one time and have it pretty much memorized and understood (that is probably why I did so horrible is I would never finish one of those darn tests-always had to pick"C" at the last minute for about 1/3 of the questions). Does anyone else feel the same way about these tests???
