"the" Seer's politics are just marginally left of Atilla the Hun. he also beat me in a tiebreaker in the basketball pick'em one year. the next year i lost on the last day to maybe Shoalzie after a frantic, inspired comeback on the last day. If Miami had won in OT (at Miami) against FSU, i had the trophy.

****ers.

[Okla-homey]

Thanks!

If you don't go to Harvard, I will personally kick your fat ***.

[Frozen Sooner]

If you don't go to Harvard, I will personally kick your fat ***.

I'm actually giggling at this.

Dude, my undergrad GPA is way too low for Harvard. I might throw an app their way for ****s and giggles, but as of right now the only east coast school I'm thinking about is UVA.

[NYC Poke]

Yale/Stanford/NYU/Columbia/Chicago aren't bad options, either.

[royalfan5]

Nice work

[frankensooner]

Best Wishes to you. Law School is a blast. Well, to some weird folks like me it was. I think you will really like it.

[Frozen Sooner]

Yale/Stanford/NYU/Columbia/Chicago aren't bad options, either.

One of my criteria is I kind of want a place that's not insanely cold all the time. I've had about enough of that.

I've toured the Berkeley campus, it's REALLY nice.


Congrats!

[Curly Bill]

Congrats Mike...

...and you know you like that Berkeley idea of KC's. ;) :D

[JohnnyMack]

I've toured the Berkeley campus, it's REALLY nice.


Congrats!

I got high at a Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds concert on the Berkley campus once.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me. ;) :P :D

[85Sooner]

Congrats , you didn't get a private room like Kennedys offspring did you?


I see you now as an Alan shore type of attorney ;)

[Collier11]

177!!!!

I'm mega-stoked!!!!!

Congrats dooshrocket!!!







Seriously, Congrats Bro! :D

[StoopTroup]

Agood LSAT score for you, depending on where you want to study, may be 20 points lower than the LSAT goal of someone who wants to enter Harvard Law - where the average LSAT score is in the 170s.

So...I guess your just average Mike.


Dude...that's awesome...Congratulations.

I hope you get to do what you want and what makes you happy.

Good Luck...

ST

[Ardmore_Sooner]

Congrats dude! That's pretty stinkin sweet!

[Chuck Bao]

I was going to ask what that score means, but ST answered it for me.

Next stop editor of the Harvard Law Review and the first US president from Alaska.

I'm stoked too for you too.

[AlbqSooner]

Congrats, I guess. When I took the LSAT the range of possible scores was 200 to 800, so your would not be that impressive. I have no idea what the range is now.

Apparently the score is quite commendable. Kudos and good luck

[soonerhubs]

Congrats Mike!

[Lott's Bandana]

Bravo Zulu Mike...

While your checking out Charlottesville, give Wm and Mary and George Washington a sniff. (maybe Georgetown?) I think you would appreciate the sense of history and enjoy considering the opportunities there as well. (Boston is much colder, and I'm a Southerner...:P )

Just my .02.

WTG Bro!

[Rogue]

Congrats Froz!

Charlottesville is a great city. I mean GREAT!

What other schools are you looking at, man?

Obligatory snarky remark: and I was worried that we would run short of loy-ers on the SO. :rolleyes:

[TMcGee86]

Good lord man, couldn't you miss a few and make the rest of us feel slightly good about ourselves?

Srsly though, congrats. Amazing score.

[nmsoonergirl]

Yippee for you.

It's pretty cool knowing you can go almost anywhere you want to go, huh.?

[OKC-SLC]

good jorb, Froz.

WTG Bro!

I've got a really good friend who did his undergrad at Bill and Mary and speaks highly of it. The vast majority of their law school is made up of W&M grads though. Georgetown...I really don't want to go to school in a big city for various reasons. Plus, I'm trying to stay with publics. Taking three years off work is going to cost me a lot of money already-I don't want to couple that with crippling student loan debt.


Congrats Froz!

Charlottesville is a great city. I mean GREAT!

Still really trying to figure out my top 5. It's changing every day or so.


Yippee for you.

It's pretty cool knowing you can go almost anywhere you want to go, huh.?

Right now I'm still in "stunned" mode.

Thanks everyone for the well-wishes and nice comments.

[Cam]

Congrats and good luck man.

[Okla-homey]

Just remember, statistically, the vast majority of folks end up practicing within 200 miles of where they went to law skool. You'll understand why after you start school.

Therefore, choose a school near where you want to end up.

[Frozen Sooner]

Strangely enough, I just got that same advice from someone else.

[John Kochtoston]

Congrats, I guess. When I took the LSAT the range of possible scores was 200 to 800, so your would not be that impressive. I have no idea what the range is now.

Apparently the score is quite commendable. Kudos and good luck

It's 120-180. Mike's is roughly an 81-42 win against Colorado.

[Penguin]

Good jorb!

Are you actually bailing on Alaska?

[Soonrboy]

Great job!! Congrats!!

[Frozen Sooner]

It's 120-180. Mike's is roughly an 81-42 win against Colorado.

Like I'd let those peckerheads score 42. I ain't Brian Venerables, you know.

[85Sooner]

Alan shore is the Babe magnet attorney on Boston legal played by James Spade. Absolutley hillarious show

[Frozen Sooner]

Dude, that's so not me it's not even funny. But thanks. :D

[soonerinabilene]

This score plus staying at a holiday inn express, and I would vote for you for president. Just this score alone only gets you a congrats.

[Frozen Sooner]

Heh. Thanks!

[Vaevictis]

This is bad. We already have enough Alaskans running around here in the lower 48 :(

Worse, this one is going to turn into a lawyer in a few years.

[John Kochtoston]

Like I'd let those peckerheads score 42. I ain't Brian Venerables, you know.

Just a reference to the 1980 game. Still holds the record for most combined points scored in regulation (I think). As an example of a high point total, nothing more. It'd be quite a buzzkill for you to be compared to Brent Vunerables on a day that you fired out a 177 on the LSAT, so that was definately not my intent.:D

[soonerboomer93]

So...I guess your just average Mike.


Dude...that's awesome...Congratulations.

I hope you get to do what you want and what makes you happy.

Good Luck...

Thanks for the info on ranges. Please change my original post to "MEGA" kudos. :D

[stoops the eternal pimp]

congratulations Mike...YOU ARE A GENIUS

[yermom]

i didn't realize you were planning on leaving Alaska...

congrats

you know, i hear there is a law school in Norman :D

Heh. Have to leave Alaska to go to law school-we're the only state that doesn't have one.

I've put some thought into OU Law, but they say you really shouldn't go to the same law school as your undergrad for some reason.

[yermom]

i hear that about grad school in general...

i wouldn't know though :O

[Chuck Bao]

I recommend Baylor. You can debate the constitution with Sic'em, as well as be a mentor in terms of his love life and finishing his undergrad degree.

Besides, it isn't that far of a drive to Norman.

[Sooner_Havok]

Heh. Have to leave Alaska to go to law school-we're the only state that doesn't have one.

I've put some thought into OU Law, but they say you really shouldn't go to the same law school as your undergrad for some reason.

Which is why if I do well on that damn thing, I have to look to Tulsa or OCU.


If I can get an awesome Froz-like score, I may have to become a Benedict Havok...:texan:

[Frozen Sooner]

You planning on taking the LSAT? Sweet.

[Sooner_Havok]

You planning on taking the LSAT? Sweet.

Going in December. This year off school thing is killing me.

[Phil]

Hey, it works out for some of us. Congrats on the score. When I took it, the best you could do was a 48, and I got a 44 or 46, can't remember which. Of course, you studied, so you were ahead of me. ;)

[SoonerInKCMO]

If you're undergrad grades are keeping you out of the top-tier programs, you could always go to UT - I bet Lid would hire you after you graduate.

[Viking Kitten]

Dang, that's awesome news, Mike. Congrats!

[TheHumanAlphabet]

So is that like a good score??? I have no idea. what percentile? ;)

I guesss by the posts that's good - congrats.

[Okla-homey]

So is that like a good score??? I have no idea. what percentile? ;)

I guesss by the posts that's good - congrats.

I'll put it this way, if he does as well in school as that LSAT score portends, he'll be in great position to become a law professor as opposed to practicing. Frankly, knowing Mike, I think that would be right up his alley, and that is not a slam in any way. In fact, it would be nice to have some law professors that had actually been out in the real world to balance the faculties.

See, in law skool it goes like this: "A" students become professors, "B" students become judges, "C" students become millionaires.

[Frozen Sooner]

Thanks Homey!

The e-mails from law schools just started coming in. Both Notre Dame and Columbia have invited me to apply and are waiving application fees.

[Frozen Sooner]

99th. According to LSAC, I scored higher than 99.7% of test takers in this round.

Thanks!

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Havard Law Review...Presidency???

[Frozen Sooner]

Well, I did follow the break in matriculation pattern, but I can't seem to organize my bedroom closet, much less a community.

:D

Plus, there ain't no way I'm standing up to a vetting process.

[Vaevictis]

Both Notre Dame

Tell me your standards aren't this low.


and Columbia have invited me to apply and are waiving application fees.

Now that's pretty slick ;)

[Vaevictis]

And for those of you who still don't get just how high this score is, let's put it this way:

His score would pull up the average at any university. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, it doesn't matter. His score is higher than the average anywhere.

[NYC Poke]

Thanks Homey!

The e-mails from law schools just started coming in. Both Notre Dame and Columbia have invited me to apply and are waiving application fees.

My gf went to Columbia law and she's done pretty good for herself (other than me).

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, they boast a 100% placement rate and a median salary in your first year after graduation of $125k. Then again, my goal isn't to work at a big grinder firm.

[NYC Poke]

The thing about going to a place like that is --other than the job opportunities -- you meet a phenomenal group of people. Her classmates included Rhodes Scholars, guys with PhDs, a college professor on sabbatical, etc. Heck, I was pretty impressed with my classmates in ls, and I went to lowly Washington & Lee (check it out when you visit UVA). It opens you up to prestigious clerkships in the 2d Circuit, and basically opens things up for you that wouldn't be available otherwise.

BTW, salaries for first years at big firms in NY are now over $150k. Yeah, it sucks working for a big firm, but it's not bad for you to do for a couple of years to get you on your feet and to get experience in sophisticated matters.

[Sooner1979]

177!!!!

I'm mega-stoked!!!!!

177...My dad would say, you couldn't have scored a 180? Seriously, good job...Keep your GPA up and you can pretty much choose your school, anywhere in the world...

[badger]

Isn't that what Elle Woods got in Legally Blonde?

Well, a 4.0 in your Fashion Design major and you'll be in Harvard Law in no time! :D

Congrats anyways... ;)

[Frozen Sooner]

177...My dad would say, you couldn't have scored a 180? Seriously, good job...Keep your GPA up and you can pretty much choose your school, anywhere in the world...

Well, the GPA's been pretty well locked in for the last 12 years, but thanks for the advice anyhow. :D

It must be said, $150K doesn't go very far in NYC. That's about equal to earning $90-100K in the Sooner State and driving into OKC or Tulsa to work from the suburbs.

I think he should go to law school in Hawai'i. Then he'd have both the OCONUS states covered.

[NYC Poke]

It's expensive here, sure, but you can live okay on $150k (and that's pre-bonus). I haven't seen a salary chart in a while, but upper level associates probably make around $300k, and that's decent coin no matter where you are.

The people who really have it sweet pay-wise are associates in the satellite offices at places like Weil Gotshal, which is based in NY, but pays their associates the same nationwide. I knew some Weil associates in Houston and Dallas who were making what their compatriots were in NY, and they lived like kings.

[soonerboomer93]

As I recall, getting out of a hot-tub in a two-piece helped her too.

Somehow, I don't think that approach will be of much use to Froze.

[Frozen Sooner]

Dude, I'm going wherever they pay me.

Just got one from Northwestern.

[Frozen Sooner]

As I recall, getting out of a hot-tub in a two-piece helped her too.

What are you trying to say here?

[Vaevictis]

Reese Witherspoon in a two-piece makes me happy. Mike Rich in a two-piece makes me sad. Depressed, even. Possibly suicidal.

[Vaevictis]

So basically, if you can figure out which people are getting ready to recommend deny, go ahead and send them a video of you in a two-piece.

If you get lucky, the decision might get passed to someone else.

[Frozen Sooner]

Guess what I'm wearing right now?

[sooner_born_1960]

Mike, we're all proud of your LSAT score, but stop trying to make us puke. :)

[Vaevictis]

I'll cut myself, I swear. I'm ready to hit 'play' on some Tears for Fears and The Cure.

[Frozen Sooner]

Shirt, tie, and slacks.

Pervs.

[John Kochtoston]

Heh. Have to leave Alaska to go to law school-we're the only state that doesn't have one.

I've put some thought into OU Law, but they say you really shouldn't go to the same law school as your undergrad for some reason.

Prolly true if you want to teach, but if not, then it's really not that big of a deal. Tons of OU undergrads at OU Law.

Besides, you can always go somewhere else and get an LL.M or SJD, iff'n you want to be a prof AND wear the really cool hat at graduation.
