<p>Unfortunately Cue7, my son has an eye on law school :)</p>
<p>What I find fascinating is that he has met fantastic professors who have become wonderful mentors and friends, I seriously couldn’t be more thrilled with his education. I was shocked with the grade he got in that one class because it was the first time he hadn’t recieved any feedback at all…in fact he had to struggle to have a meeting with the TA who was quite put out. I also thought the TA’s words about a Chicago undergraduate student should be happy with a C- to be rather alarming. I can’t imagine telling a student at any of Chicago’s peer schools that a C- was an acceptable goal. It seems to go hand in hand with the old canard that Chicago students are weaker.</p>
<p>But just a thought on the Harvard numbers, could it be that most Chicago students interested in law seek out law schools that are more theory/intellectual/less BigLaw? How do Chicago kids do at Yale and Chicago?</p>
<p>I can tell you that my second year has never met with anyone having to do with prelaw, his advisor tells him there’s plenty of time for that. She seems to want him to focus less on any preprofessional things and rather concentrate on getting grants to study and internships in various programs. I actually get the feeling that he’s being prepped for academia:)</p>
