I can tell you from experience that studying for most undergrad courses is a million times easier than studying for the LSAT, even compared math heavy majors like compsci or engineering. It's going to be way easier to graduate with a 4.0 in undergrad, or close to it, than get close to a 180 on the LSAT. Studying for the LSAT is the single most difficult thing I've ever done, even compared to playing an hour of music from memory for my senior recital and doing research for 7 years to publish a book. In fact, I would argue that only 85% of your score on the LSAT is going to come from the prep you put in. I would argue everything after that is sheer dumb luck
AT 5:20 about GPA, why was that "recently discovered advice"? Hasn't that always been the advice. It's ludicrous to me that GPA is slowly beginning to become more important than the LSAT. With a 180 and a 3.9, a T3 may no longer be an option because of the GPA -- that is INSANE! Surely law schools know GPA can be inflated like in high school, and it's a dam* shame LSAC hasn't done away with the A+ 4.33 GPA conversion given MOST COLLEGES do not offer that grade.
I would argue that too many people are trying to get into law school. I think most people still think that getting a JD will be a feather in their cap that will lead to wealth, when in fact, it's guy's who own plumbing businesses or concrete businesses who are making more money. People want easy answers. They want to follow a path that's already laid out for them and find success. "I followed a,b, and c and I connected all the dots, why am I not making 200k a year?" You really have to be creative, and make your own path - and even then there's no guarantee you will be successful. You know why most people aren't wealthy? BECAUSE ITS REALLY HARD. Either you're able to do the impossible, or you're really lucky. Kind of like getting into a T3 school
A week in the demon blew my mind.
Same!
Like how this is episode “180”
Good observation

3 days with the demon blew my mind 😅
I’m really enthused. See Eric Thomas on you tube for more enthusiasm. Phd. I’m sure he likes the de mon.
That’s what keeps you going the uncertainty.

You're right. Schools are, in fact, aware of GPA inflation. They are academic institutions, after all.
