While I agree that the LSAT is a great test (great = difficult/well-structured/etc), I totally disagree with how the "standard" is set. Just because one scores high on the LSAT does not mean they will enforce, nor discern the laws in accordance with the rights of the people. Yeah, I'm going there. And the fact that folks spend months/years studying for this test...time better spent learning the law in your local library, just shows the lack of lucidity in this situation! A high score satisfies rankings, which satisfies donors--or vice versa. But to say that one's standard is lowered because of the lack of ONE TEST is preposterous. What's even funnier is how all these schools tout "whole person"...when they know it's all dependent on that L$AT $core. And finally, I bristled at all of the negative comments below that article. Knowing that I'll be paying upwards of $250K to sit next to them for three years while they look down upon someone who scored lower. on. a. test. is just disgusting.
