What made you decide to pursue a JD?听
NG: I originally intended to go to business school but I did absolutely horrible on the GRE. A friend suggested taking a mock LSAT exam because of its applicability to business. After taking my first LSAT I realized that I really enjoyed the way the test made me think. This prompted me to consider law school more seriously and since then have not looked back. I hope to utilize my J.D. to work with small businesses and startups.听

What are some of the opportunities you have taken advantage of here at 欧美口爆视频 Law?听
