dude you are just showing off

funnytiger

that is not showing off. His background is strong but i have seen stronger.

Note: many things that Chinese think it is strong does not mean anything to Americans. For example, a recommendation letter from a super important person. Chinese thinks this is the biggest thing. Americans look at the content of letter. In many cases, they like a co-worker's recommendation letter more.

Back to the topic, your LSAT is a little bit low but with a good application, you should be able to make it to top14.

they're very nice credentials, relatively speaking; and he is definitely showing off, while posing a question.
