<p>Thank you all for the replies!</p>
<p>“If I take your meaning correctly, your professors are saying that while you’d likely do fine getting into law school, your law school grades would suffer because your college courses were easy (“incredibly inflated”). Is that right? If this is their argument, I’d have to think about it some before replying but my intuition is to disagree.”</p>
<p>Yes, that is the gist of it. One of the professors I spoke to encouraged me not to attend law school on the grounds that she believed that it was not for me, in the sense that she believed that my personality did not meet the rigors that law school would require. I countered by presenting my major GPAs and the fact that I did fairly well in my courses, and she then told me that all my grades were inflated and that I should stop kidding myself. </p>
<p>I think she wanted to give me some tough love, so to speak, but honestly I’m not sure what to make of it. I had known for some time that English and Psychology were the two “easy” majors, but I felt like I put genuine work and time into doing the readings and writing the papers, and I believe that it shows. I guess it might be because I am an immigrant or I might just be dumb, but my choice of major did not feel as easy as she has made it out to be. It does make me feel like my degree and the past four years of sweat, blood, and tears feel worthless, however. I other words, I am not sure if I believe in myself anymore.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if it is the result of what she said to me, but I no longer think I am prepared for the rigors of law school. The reason why I asked about non T14 schools is twofold: I felt self conscious about my “inflated” GPA(and that law schools would laugh at my “achievements” as well) and I am no longer sure if I would do well at a T14 school to begin with. Surely, graduating from a non-T14 school at the top of the class would be better than bottom tenth of a T14, right? I would think so, but everyone on the Internet and everyone I know suggests that going anywhere but a T14 is a waste of money and time.</p>
<p>Again, thank you all for your replies. I am now less concerned about my lack of ECs and relevant work experience. I will look into some “T28” schools.</p>
