Pensacola Christian College

To respond to the "lawyer" that commented about his inability to get into first tier law schools, I propose that his inability came as a result of his own ineptness or lack of intelligence rather than PCC's academics. I, too, graduated from PCC. While I agree that PCC's lack of accredidation may provide some hindrance to getting into graduate schools, the hindrance is only minor. I applied and was accepted to numerous first tier law schools. Several provided me all-expenses-paid trips to visit their schools. I received many generous scholarships (including offers from the top five law schools) and several offers of full scholarships. I am presently attending a top-25 law school on a full academic scholarship. What the other poster likely forgot to tell you is that GPA counts for law school but not nearly as much as your LSAT score. You can graduate from Harvard with a 4.0 but if you don't score well on the LSAT, you're not going to a first tier school. My educated guess is that the other poster bombed the LSAT, which would be his fault not PCC's fault. (For those wondering, I didn't just get a lucky on the LSAT. I'm doing pretty well at my school. I'm in the top 1% of my class. So, apparently the PCC academics that most other posters are trashing provided me a better education than the Ivy League academics provided their students attending my law school.)As for the rules, despite the many negative comments, PCC is a great place to attend. Each derogative comment comes from a student who chose to attend the school. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. People always have and always will complain about rules, but people always have known and always will know that rules breed discipline and discipline builds character. To me, putting up with rules for four years was worth it to gain the education and character that enabled me to attend any law school I wanted to attend.
