Demon student Beth has a great GPA, but she’s wondering whether schools will look down on the fact that she went to a mid-level school with an easy major. Ben surmises that admissions officers may view a high GPA in a liberal arts major as less impressive than a high GPA in Physics, for example. But at the end of the day, the number is what matters most. Nathan reminds listeners that only GPAs and...

An anonymous listener asks for advice on his future law career. He says he needs to go into “something meaningful and helpful (not corporate law),” but he also wants to come out of law school making six figures.
