<p>Jonri - perhaps you could have provided a complete picture. What did the poster say? Undoubtably, something about being 16 and just HAVING to go to HLS. Forget Harvard, forget Yale - live your life. Check out the post by Wellesleygirl - that is EXACTLY why I counsel people to not get fixated on the top law schools. </p>
<p>Fully agree with the last part of your post... for many reasons. I firmly believe that many people don't appreciate college until after it is gone. I also believe that students will always do better in things which interest them. Finally, as we all know, I'm a classic example of someone who changed careers.</p>
