Does he know you personally?

We haven't met. But, we know enough about each other to be able to identify each other. (ie. we are both transfers, and were the only ones to transfer from our respective schools in our years.)

This is interesting. I spoke to a professor at Yale, who says he has never seen a BTL there. Does anyone know if there has ever been a BTL at Yale law?
(I don't find it particularly surprising, since 80% of their class went to Ivy league or Stanford Undergrad. So they are kind of snobbish about that.)

Well, Yale's entering class is like 2/5 the size of Harvard... they have to be pickier.

V. How well will I do in Law School?

The results are mixed. Rumor has it that Fordham did a study and found that we group around the top and the bottom, instead of a normal distribution as would be expected. But who knows.
Rumor confirmed. But the study is hogwash IMO.
If you don't care why would you comment?

I went to high school in New Haven. I know 2 guys who were at Yale Law after only obtaining a BTL. They are definitely both on the brighter side of things ;-)

I think I should've phrased the question a little differently.

1. I wasn't asking if it could be done, I was asking if it has been done.
2. The question wasn't really about the BA, it was more about coming from a yeshiva background (even if they did get a "real" bachelors)
