<p>Thinkingoutloud, while I would say that it in a perfect world, it would be good to prepare yourself to do well in law school, the fact is, we don’t live in a perfect world. You can do all kinds of things to make sure you do well in law school, but if you can’t even get admitted, what does it matter? I agree with you that your law school class rank will determine the kind of job you will get upon graduation. If you do poorly, you will not get the best job. But hey, you’re still far better off than the guy who never got admitted in the first place. Nobody ever became a lawyer who didn’t get into law school.</p>
