While I’m still not sure if law school is for me, I received my score from the test in D.C. mid-June. I have to admit that when I realized I was the only person that I spoke to there that had not went through the Kaplan testing, I was a bit shaken.  Even worse was the cold.  Regardless, I only did a few points lower than my practice average, bringing home a score of 171.  This places me in the 98th percentile of test takers, which is far and ahead past the point where I should be complaining…  But I still can’t help but wonder if I would have done much better if not for that cold.

Regardless, it doesn’t matter, because I can’t afford to blow another 130 dollars without going back to paid work.  What I saved working at First Market for that year is already dangerously close to being under what it should be for the rest of the summer.  If I still want to go to law school, and go to one of the best, I’ll have to find another way to balance out what will be a decent but ultimately sub-par GPA.
