Please Wait...........
Did you actually get into all of those schools with that LSAT score? If so, congratulations. Well congratulations :) I'm curious, what other factors put you over?
- PaintedVeilthat was supposed to say "well congratulations regardless"
- PaintedVeilAre you sure you didn't type in your LSAT and/or GPA incorrectly? I'm sorry, but I just don't see how it's possible. Congratulations though.
- anglkat42He has multiple LSAT's, and LSN is still averaging them while the schools are not. His numbers are 165/3.3 which is very respectable. Maybe not Harvard respectable (thats an amazing acceptance) but very respectable regardless.
- nontraditional1LCongrats! Did your old man go to Harvard?
- KEVIN PHILLIPSYes, my dad did go to Harvard. But he went to Yale undergrad and still donates and they rejected me with lightning speed!
- dfturnerWhile 165/3.3 is respectable, ALL these acceptances are IMPOSSIBLE. Unless there is more to your story you haven't shared. Thanks...
- impossibleBeing a legacy helped I'm sure. I guess they figure if your father is a big time attorney that the student will already have connections to top firm(s).
- HaleoJust be honest...Daddy cut a check for you, eh?
- Blingwould you post your scores if you know that it is highly irregular for top schools to accept students with your #s? Be smart, do not draw attention to yourself - take down your profile. Double Bling
- STOP the pressI am happy for you and your acceptances. I am upset that some people cannot seem to just let others have their due. I would go to UT, but I mean it IS Harvard, so I dunno how you could turn them down. But Congrats again! I am sure with your earnestness you will make a good lawyer. P.S. If he desires to share his information, why is he wrong for this?
- ChibunduYes, these are my real numbers. And yes my father is a partner at a BIGLAW firm that does donate and recruit heavily in the T14. However, I am not ashamed of this nor my acceptances. I never understand why people have to be negative. I see nothing wrong with my posting this information here. Also, people don't understand that being a lawyer and running a firm is a trade/business just like a blacksmith, handyman, etc. And I have been around this trade all my life, so I know how things work/are run. A 165 is around the 83% so it's nothing to laugh at. And the 3.3 is from an ivy league school.
- dfturnerI don't know how you pulled it off but congrats on your acceptances. And congrats on being the only 3.4 Index Waitlisted at CLS. The next W/L at CLS who is not a minority is a 3.8....Truly amazing!
- wtbThe problem is that you didn't earn these acceptances. Your rich father bought them for you. Nothing is wrong with that...just own up to it.
- CashfordegreeA 165 for Harvard...Every other white male needs to get in the 99th percentile to go to Harvard...congrats on having a rich daddy. You should stop pretending you deserve to go there and go and give your dad a hug.
- dickmanNo, there's nothing wrong with posting said information. Just don't be surprised that people aren't going to universally praise you for your "acceptances." Not that your numbers are subpar or anything, but they are certainly not what got you your acceptances. I guess negativity is difficult to understand when you have your future handed to you.
- CThis site is for people to get a good idea of what schools want. Don't post your info if your acceptances do not suggest your intelligence. Don't act so proud either Mr. 3.3 in Film/Philosophy.
- GodI don't care how many canned food/clothing drives you organized or how many French movies you philosophized, the #'s don't add up. Legacy preference and nepotism on this level is utterly obnoxious.
- wowee#'s arent everything and most of the top schools realize this. I am quite sure dfturner possesses the intellect and wit needed to excel in all the institutions to which he has gained admittance.
- get over itI thank everyone who is offering positive comments and feedback. For those who are saying that I only got in because of my father's influence and that I do not deserve it, that is fine. I do not feel that I have to defend anything. However, what people need to realize is that I have first hand knowledge and experience on how a firm operates and what a lawyer actually does, unlike some others who just took a test and feel they will probably make a good lawyer. I know I will be a good lawyer. Even with a 179 some people still do not bring the same qualifications in terms of experience that I have. I really do not understand where all of this anger is coming from. Yes, the 152 was low but I rebounded quite nicely. If you people are lucky enough to attend one of the schools that I will be attending, you will see that all that b.s. about everyone having at least a 177 is just that: b.s.
- DfturnerI concur with you... Numbers are not everything... Good luck with everything!!
- lizette112162concur?
- nicei have to admit i'm baffled, too. honestly had you not mentioned your dad connection, regardless of all the experience in the world, you wouldn't have gotten in. it's not fair that the schools look past the numbers for a select few legacies and minorities. but anyway, congrats i guess. which Ivy did you go to?
- curiousCongrats Dfturner. You are very fortunate to be accepted even if your father's influence helped secure your seat. Anyone who judges you on this fact is simply indulging their basest emotions and seeking to feed their insecurity from your achievement. The rest of us need only remember that while you have the advantage now, and though we may have to hussle a bit harder for our first 5-8 years, its what you do with your opportunities that matters. Enjoy Harvard, do the best you can, as we all will. See you in the field. Jealousy is for the Weak.

- GunnerI believe you're missing the point of legacy admissions. Moreover, I suspect any criticism was voiced out frustration rather than jealousy. As a prospective student of the law, surely you can appreciate the difference between the two. "We offer the rich and the poor the same amount of ice in the end. The only difference is that the rich get theirs in the summer and the poor get theirs in the winter" Legacy admissions are inherently suspect because (i) the practice advances the class gap (most legacies are from educated and well-to-do families) (ii) it promotes an ethnic/gender divide (most legacies are white males, i.e., dfturner) In short, legacy admissions are discriminatory and only benefit the upper crust of society. While one might argue that fundraising is a legitimate goal of legacy admissions, I would maintain that HLS is by no stretch of the imagination hurting for cash. We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.
- - Louis D. BrandeisI'm certainly opposed to legacy admissions, but I don't see how it is Mr. Turner's fault that his father's alma mater has decided to give him preference for their financial benefit. I understand that more qualified people are frustrated about this injustice, but those frustrations should be voiced to the culprit. Furthermore, would it make anyone feel better if DfTurner, were poor and of a different ethnicity, with the same low scores? My point is simply, get over it, worry about yourself and your grades, its the only way you can overcome the obstacles in your path. One day when you have the power and influence you worked so hard for, use it to help others and correct these injustices, not to help your son get into a good school. Personal Responsibilty is Key.
- GunnerAll this discussion and debate over a FLAME profile...If it looks too good to be true, it is. Dumbasses. Of course a white guy didn't get into Harvard with a 3.3 and a 165. Of course he wasn't accepted off the Harvard waiting list before anyone else was even placed on it (take a look and do the math). Of course a 165 LSAT is not an 83rd percentile score (try 93rd percentile, something one would remember because it's given right next to your score when you receive it). Hilarious, and pointless.

- bratSad that there are mean-spirited people in society. It is rare to find class in America these days. If you care to share some app tips with someone, I'd appreciate it. Good Luck!
- bdk2008For the people posting against my admissions to these schools, it is understandable. To Louis, I do realize that I have some advantages that others do not b/c of legacy. However, I do not control the system. And I honestly do believe that I will make a good lawyer. There are many people who are going to law school, even the top ones who will not b/c they do not even know what a lawyer actually does. I am not under any pressure to attend law school, meaning "daddy is not making me go". I want to go and be challenged. The system does have a way of correcting itself. No matter what law school I attend, I am not guaranteed to pass the bar or be successful practicing attorney, which I think I will be, not matter how much legacy helped me to get admitted to these schools. But I do understand the arguments on class/ethnic discrimination.
- DfturnerI am going to resort to your level and be childish and tell you to STFU and it was pointless of you to post if you thought I was a flame or a fake. The 83 was a typo. Eat a d!%k b!%ch!
- Dfturner"Cold as ice, grillin me, Oh you not feelin me, Fine, it costs you nothin, pay me no mind." Nice Work Turner.
- GunnerYeah, keep it real, dog. Don't let the man hold you down. These haters keep hating, playa. They don't know what you're about, dog. People should be naive and believe anything they are told...because that's showing class, brotha. If 2-pac can make it all the way, then so can you. It's just like Jay-Z says...eat a dick, bitch. Surely you're not mad that I'm calling you out on your fake profile. You still haven't explained the WL thing. Notice how all the people who congratulate you are people who are going to third tier toilet schools...see how many other HLS admits buy this bullshit. ha ha ha
- RomaYour moronic display of sarcasm only shows how difficult it is going to be for you to cope in the legal profession. Go spend that hundred grand on some good counseling.
- PakaFalse presumption: that I'm spending $100K on school...presumes incorrectly that I won't be enjoying a big scholarship at a top school. Luckily, the people I'll have to "cope" with in the legal profession are about 5 rings up the pole from you folks in terms of perception, intelligence, and capability. I won't be working for the City of Dayton public defender's office. I don't have problems coping with competent people...but some of you folks, on the other hand... Keep defending a fake LSN profile. You chose the untenable position...all I have to do is throw a few rocks to knock you off your precarious position...
- RomaI am going to make another presumption, you troglodyte. The quickest, easiest, and most common defense for you is to hide the truth of your weakness and to give the illusion that you possess some sort of power. Presumes incorrectly, keep studying for that LSAT, pal. Im sure that top tier school that gave you that BIG scholarship would be so proud of your obnoxious and belligerent behavior.
- Paka Sukaplease withdraw from columbia
- DanTurner, is that you? ha...I'm sure Elle Woods at fake Harvard Law School would be proud of the fiction you've posted here... "what, like it's hard?" maybe check yourself on that before you bemoan my calling you on it. And actually, I took the LSAT last year (99th percentile), so I am done with my studying for that test. You see, in spite of what you believe, you need a real LSAT score in order to attend a top law school. I know that fact is not apparent from this fake profile...but you can't just make up numbers and acceptances in the real world. Happy to help.
- Roma"Roma", it is crazy and pathetic for you to continue having these conversations about this being a fake post. Not only that, you keep checking back in to see what I/people have to say. What's the point? And where is your LSN account? All that B.S. about 99th percentile and attending a top school on a scholarship is really cute talk but probably all lies. Just get a life already and stop obsessing over mine.
- DfturnerI believe dfturner has a high probability for success in law school and as a lawyer. And as such, it makes perfect sense for him to have been admitted. What doesn't make sense are admissions based only on one's ethnicity.
- DI agree with you that "admissions based only on one's ethnicity" doesn't make sense. Good thing "admissions based only on one's ethnicity" doesn't exist. As a future lawyer, you should know to be more careful with your words.
- elk232do you think going to an Ivy school helped a lot when applying and getting in? i went to columbia but my grades are bad and my LSAT is not high. i'm worried.
