A student who scored a perfect 180 on his Law School Admissions Test decided to help other aspiring lawyers rather than become one himself.
“Jewish mothers everywhere must have sighed when Andrew Brody, a nice Jewish boy who scored a perfect 180 on his LSAT and received a scholarship to New York University Law School, decided against law,” reports the Jewish Week. “Yet Brody, 29, may be responsible for helping their own sons gain acceptance to top law schools.”
Brody trains other LSAT teachers for the Princeton Review and produces a podcast called LSAT Logic in Everyday Life, the story says. The podcast finds flaws in arguments about current events, such as the recent trampling of a Wal-Mart greeter or flaws in labor statistics.
“It’s a time in our country when people are saying, ‘Let’s question assumptions, let’s learn to think more critically,’ ” Brody told the publication.
Few people are able to achieve perfect LSAT scores. Only about 25 out of 125,000 LSAT test takers who took a recent test got a score of 180, according to a press release about a student from Appalachian State University who was one of them.
