Newhere-
I agree with everything you said. Also, I would echo your call for anyone looking into law school to really research it and think hard before they go, with the cost of tuition nowadays.
and I’m really not that confident. I know I’ve got a long way to go. B”H I got all my first semester grades and I did well. Hopefully I will continue to do well. But I was just pointing out that I did take exams and I wasn’t fumbling with “this is mamesh a contract,” and it’s possible for one to do well without going to Columbia for undergrad and majoring in Literature.
