> | Should I return to Law School in the Fall? | | | The Allure of a Predictable Path
I decided to go to law school in my junior year of college, recognizing that it would enable me to continue adhering to a structured and predictable path, where I could simply continue checking boxes: Get a high 170s LSAT score, keep my GPA above a 3.9, and I would be virtually guaranteed admission into at least one top law school given their heavily statistics based admissions approach. From there, so long as I didn’t bomb my OCI interviews, I would be almost certain to secure a coveted “biglaw” job, earning a starting salary of $240,000, where I could pay off my law school and undergraduate loans easily, ensure my parents a comfortable retirement, and, after about 2 decades of grinding away as a billing monkey, meticulously tracking every five minute increment of my miserable existence, retire with enough savings to sustain a middle class standard of living for the rest of my life, watching as much football as I wanted and spending quality time with friends and family. Given that I'm naturally stronger in the areas of verbal reasoning and writing than spatial or quantitative reasoning, law was probably my best bet at achieving this early retirement. |
