<p>Before going to law school you need to know

  1. whether you’re good enough to do well enough to get where you want to go. You can’t assess that without your LSAT and near-final GPA, so hold your horses.
  2. what law school is like, and
  3. what being a lawyer is like.<br>

<p>for a lot of cynical gossip once you have your scores. If you’re top-20% or so at Columbia and get a 170, you should get in somewhere good. But do you want to go there?<br>
