What Would They Score on the LSAT: NBA Playoffs Round II

The first round of this year’s NBA playoffs are in the books (finally), and the second round is underway. The defending champion Dallas Mavericks were eliminated in four games by the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Chicago Bulls saw their season go down the pipes when star point guard Derrick Rose suffered a devastating knee injury. Now only eight teams remain.

I’ve already discussed the LSAT scores of Rose and other big names of round one, but what about round two?

Let’s check into the game:

TIM DUNCAN, San Antonio Spurs — 177

Oh, the Spurs.

What Would They Score on the LSAT: NBA Playoffs Edition

The NBA Playoffs tip off this weekend, and I’m so excited I could elbow someone in the head.

Among the notable storylines in the Western Conference this year are the veteran Spurs locking down the No. 1 seed, the high-flying Clippers returning to the postseason for the first time in six years, and the defending champion Dallas Mavericks limping in as the No. 7 seed because they spent too much time this season wiping down last year’s trophy. In the Eastern Conference, the Bulls earned the top seed, the No. 3 seed Pacers will face the Dwight Howard-less Magic, and the Knicks will battle LeBron James’s receding hairline and the Miami Heat.

Although most players didn’t graduate college, it takes brains to win in the NBA Playoffs.

Supply and (Lack of) Demand: LSAC Hikes LSAT Fees

Life just got a little more expensive.

The cost of taking the LSAT has gone up. If you want the privilege of sitting for one of the world’s most hated tests, it’s gonna cost you $160 – a 15-percent hike. Not only that, but the Credential Assembly Service price jumped up to a cool $155. These prices are already listed on LSAC’s website, and already apply to this June’s test. LSAT fees have gone up before, but usually just by tiny amounts just to keep up with inflation. That seems fair; they can’t be expected to make the LSAT cheaper. But a big increase like this is new.

Why did this happen? Well, as you may remember, LSAT enrollments are way down. For the last couple years, the bad economy was driving scores of college grads into the somewhat-welcoming arms of law schools, and as a result tons and tons of people were taking the LSAT.

A Drop in Test-Takers Boosts the Value of a High LSAT Score

I’m not sure if you’ve encountered the same phenomenon, but it’s occurred to me more than once that I see a lot of less-than-intelligent people having kids. I also see a lot of intelligent people not having kids. One could argue that intelligence itself is to blame. After all, if you do a cost-benefit analysis in your twenties, having kids just doesn’t seem to pencil out (to put things in the least emotional terms possible). In other words, smarter people are having less kids because having less kids is the “smarter” thing to do.

I’m going to ask you to apply baby-having to law school because reports indicate that fewer of those with upper echelon LSAT scores are actually applying to law school. Now, this could mean that those with higher LSAT scores merely see LSAT tutoring as an excellent business prospect, but that’s not where I’d place my bets.

Everyone at Baylor Law Knows Each Other’s LSAT Score

Something pretty fun happened last week. Well, “pretty fun” for the casual observer, but “terrifying and frustrating” for people who had been accepted at a certain university. That’s because Baylor Law School accidentally released all the personal information of their admitted students to their admitted students. Everyone got an email with a spreadsheet attached, showing the names, addresses and phone numbers of their peers. Maybe they were trying to instill some camaraderie in their incoming class, hoping they’d start calling each other just to say hi?

Anyway, if that wasn’t bad enough, they also released the GPAs, LSAT scores, undergraduate schools, racial affiliations, and scholarship offers of the students as well.

So this sucks if you were admitted to Baylor.

What if the Billionaire Inventor of Spanx Had Aced Her LSAT?

Last week, Forbes published an article about Sara Blakely, the youngest female self-made Billionaire in the world. Sara made her fortune from her company Spanx, the ubiquitous lady-shaping underwear company. But Blakely didn’t always want to be an undergarment magnate. After graduating from Florida State University, she had planned to go to law school, but ran into the LSAT. After bombing the LSAT twice, she worked at Disney World before selling fax machines door-to-door. Then came the Spanx epiphany.

But what would have happened if she had actually done well on the LSAT? Let’s take a look at what could have been…

After taking the LSAT and scoring abysmally, Sara Blakely decides to enroll in a Blueprint LSAT class.
