  31. To be honest having known a number of lawyers in the US in a social environment. A lot of them haven't really impressed me with their intelligence. I will give them credit for graduating from law school and passing the bar exam. It's not easy to get in. You have to have a high enough GPA (1) after all. But in terms of life skills and common sense they did not strike me as being any smarter than a lot of people I've met. 1) GPA is not the be all and end all. My stepson wanted to go to med school. To get accepted you need not only a high enough GPA. But also a BS in PreMed or BioChem. Not easy degrees. Plus you need to do well on the annual MCad. Think an SAT for Med School. He shot himself in the foot by taking all honors classes during the 5 years of his undergraduate studies (he had to drop a required class one year due an illness). This was at a Public University in the US (UW-Madison) that has a pretty good reputation. Because he took all honors courses he faced a tougher grading challenge. If he had taken the regular non honors courses he would most likely had a 4.0/3.9 GPA. Instead he had a 3.78. Below the Med School GPA for that year pay one point. He still applied to various medical schools (2). He got one interview and blew that one. I talked to my physician about it and his take was the kid shot himself in the ass by taking the honors courses. Because once you are in med school it doesn't mean squat. At the same time the local branch school of the UW system had a 100% placement of it its PreMed students into Medical School programs every year. And to my knowledge still does. All of which proves that sometimes really bright people, which the kid is. Do really dumb things overall. 2) Applying to Med Scool is a racket all in itself. To apply to med school you have to pay an application fee. Given that the majority of applicants are turned down. Especially in the top ranked med schools.
