Posted by Diana: “I was nearing graduation from business school and had always thought about law school. But I decided I’d go out in the world and get a ‘real job’ and then see if I was still interested. I was coerced by a friend to buy a raffle ticket promoted by a school organization without knowing the prize. Turns out the prize was an LSAT prep class … which I won (for a mere $1 investment). I figured the gods were smiling on me and pointing the way. I took the LSAT and went to law school.”
