Alex,

Thank you for talking about your decision-making process. I think there is a lot to tease out there and I found the other responses valuable. My real question is about the admitted students day -- did you come for admitted students day? Are the arguments you set forth those that were put forward by the school, or did you come up with them somewhere else (family, friends, work contacts)? On a side note, as someone who taught people how to take the LSAT, I can assure you that the test is not a measure of "intelligence" or anything else (other than itself).

I think there is a lot of good in this post, going in many different directions. I am glad Theo took the initiative to work on the discussion of reality. If someone wants to volunteer to refactor the portions on what we "envision" ourselves doing vs. what we may actually do, I will volunteer to work on the specifics of what we are pitched/sold on admitted students day. I think in order to discuss or critique it we should understand the process.
