<p>I've been lurking here for quite awhile. I have noticed how many "What are my/my cousin's/my best friend's/etc chances" threads there are. And while most CC members are very helpful and share their best knowledge, I was wondering how accurate they have been, when application or rejection letters actually come in.</p>
<p>Understandably, it's a long process. Some people ask the "chance" question before they even become freshmen in some cases. The actual results to CC members' helpful answers either aren't shared, or are a long time coming. But I am fairly sure there are other fellow undergraduate seniors on the Law Board who, like me, are considering law school in fall 2009 and are preparing to take the LSAT in a little over a month.</p>
<p>If anyone else is interested, I thought a few of us could participate in an on-going "experiment" for kicks. As honestly as possible, we describe all our "stats": GPA, ECs, LSAT score, undergrad college (whether it's as specific as "UC Los Angeles" or as general as "small co-ed liberal arts college in Northeast"), etc. Basically, describe what many people do on this board, anyway. And we ask CC members for their guesses as to what law schools they feel we would be accepted at.</p>
<p>The difference being, in months' time, when the admission letters come in, we make sure to compare how accurate CC members really were. As it's an "experiment," we observe (or more precisely, "track") responses (hypotheticals) and then compare them to the actual outcomes.</p>
<p>It's not an important thing, obviously. But I would find it quite interesting. And it might actually be, in some ways, helpful to other lurkers and/or potential law school applicants who use this board. </p>
<p>If anyone is interested in participating just for fun, leave feedback. I'm planning to do it, even if I'm alone. But I'd appreciate others too please :)</p>
