A friend of mine, who also recently graduated law school, relayed the following story:
Right after I decided to attend law school, my dad put me in contact with a friend of his, an attorney who worked for a large firm. We met for lunch, and at the outset he was condescending and arrogant, just looking to shoot me down. The first thing he asked me was, "How did you do on your LSAT?"
"I got a 165," I responded.
"Is that any good?" he asked.
"I suppose. It's in the 90th percentile."
He looked at me, trying to find the most delicate way to tell me something. Finally, he said, "Son, perhaps law school isn't for you."
Surprised, I asked why.
"Well, if 90% of the people did better on the LSAT, I just think you're going to struggle."
