I'm not on the I'm all high and mighty kick. Just that I am alwasys right :)

That's good. You were born to be a lawyer. Oh boy! You joke, but they really are like that.

I have leadership roles up the yin yang. But I have one very big red mark on my record. I am a white male

hahaha. how did i overlook that? perks of being a 1st generation middle-eastern female in the mixing pot of the world. :thumup:

what type of law are you looking into?

Litigation. I want to be in front of a judge/jury, hopefully the appelate division.

Almost every lawyer plans on heading into litigation, but few actually end up there. I will be one of those few. To be a trial attorney, you need that cocky, I cannot lose attitude all while being quick on your feet. I thrive under that type of pressure

i'm sure you have that cocky attitude down. i know quite a few patent lawyers but i feel like their lives suck. private practice or government?

Interestingly, it's actually a high Testosterone profession.

A science background is needed for patent law. That I do not have.

And definitely private practice. Coming out from a top 14 school and heading into private practice =$140,000 salary to start.

at least you're more focused on your career than others that i know. good luck and keep us posted. :)

This is what happens in the idiosyncratic law school application process. I was rejected from UVA today despite being in the top 10% of their class for LSAT score and above their median for GPA. Granted, it is a state school and prefers its own residents, but still a surprise

for a school close to my area known for their law program, none of the kids that i know that went into law ever applied there. no big loss there.
