<p>Just wondering if anyone out there took the LSAT this morning and how you though it went? Any section you thought was much harder than the others? Any guesses on the experimental section?</p>
<p>LR (!), LG, LR, LR, RC</p>
<p>For me and my cohort, first section was experimental. Utter slaughter.
Everyone in the room felt as if the proctor had called time 10 minutes early.</p>
<p>Cancelled.</p>
<p>Amused that every LG these days is hybrid sequencing.
RC, there was a business passage, a diversity passage, a science passage, and a literature passage.</p>
<p>LR is LR.</p>
<p>But that first section. Dear god. Knocked me dead before I realized it was experimental. Can’t reveal too much.</p>
<p>Are you saying that you cancelled your score?</p>
<p>My son thought the first part was easy … did everyone have the same first part?</p>
<p>From what S said they were shuffled around. He, who always finishes all standardized tests early and has enough time to check the questions over, found one part very long and like kwu said he felt the bell rang too soon before he could check his answers. He doesn’t think that was the experimental section but he hopes to be wrong.</p>
<p>D barely finished one section as the time was called too. She seemed to finish the other sections with a little time to go back and check. Didn’t really get to hear too much about it because she was DONE and wanted some down time not thinking about or talking about the test haha. Maybe I will hear about it next weekend when she has had time for it all to sink in. I won’t be the one to bring it up though, not much to do now but wait anyway! Good Luck to everyone waiting, hope everyone gets the scores that they are hoping for.</p>
<p>I took it on Saturday. Logic Games seemed easy, but I didn’t finish the section on time. The only section that seemed difficult was the Reading Comp. Logical Reasoning was my easiest, which is good since it’s the easiest.</p>
<p>I meant to say that it is the longest, since 50% of the exam is LR.</p>
<p>The were two RC sections, so one of them has to be the expirimental secction. The one I didn’t get to finish had a really obscure passage, so I’m guessing that that is the expirimental.</p>
<p>I would advise all of you NOT to go to law school.</p>
<p>There is a VAST over-supply of lawyers.</p>
<p>I was at my alumni reunion recently, where I met several lawyers who went to my UG. It seems that every single lawyer discourages anyone from attending law school.</p>
<p>However, I think that advice applies only if you can’t crack top 10 law school. I would definitely discourage anyone from attending law school outside of top 10. </p>
<p>Attending top 10 law school gives chances to open opportunities both in law and business that a normal liberal arts degree won’t open. You have a good shot at BigLaw. And, with transactional BigLaw experience, you can leverage that experience, connections, and networks to lateral out to in-house or into the ‘business’ world, as well. There was one alum from my UG giving advice to us at one meeting. This guy was an MD Investment Banker at Bulge Bracket, pulling in 5+ million a year. He was a lawyer at a V5 NYC top firm, he went to my undergrad and then Harvard Law. After 3 years of corporate law practice, he lateraled out to Goldman Sachs IBD after heavy networking, then later another bank as a VP, at which he eventually made MD.</p>
<p>The moral of story is: success ultimately comes down to your ability/ networking skills/ initiative/ ability to play politics, etc. However, elite degrees can position you well for opportunities that are within grasp. Now, it is up to you to grab those opportunities.</p>
<p>Note: the current CEO of Goldman was a lawyer (who practiced 1 year of law before lateraling out to Goldman) And, Rubin was a lawyer too. Actually, there are tons of ex-lawyers on the Street within IB, PE, HF, etc. Granted, I think top UG -> IBD analyst -> top MBA -> IBD associate is the better, secure route. However, top law school -> corporate lawyer at NYC V20 -> IBD associate isn’t a bad route, either. (That is what I am planning on doing)</p>
