Camilla Belle--does she count as a model with her Miu Miu & Vera Wang ads?

Camilla Belle went to my high school-- she is for sure not old enough for Columbia Law, and I think she continued acting right after high school anyway

Not likely Hilary Rhoda because I don't think she went to college, and that's kind of a prereq. Same for Julia Stegner. Kinga was too young when her career started to know where she was headed. Christy Turlington didn't get her undergrad degree until she was 30, so no go on that.
Not nitpicking guesses because I have honestly no idea. I'm just wasting time because I'm actually in law school and don't want to be studying for finals, and I thought other curious people might benefit from the results of my procrastination ;)
To help people along in their guesses, because I'm never going to get it and I'm curious: It would have to be a model who's career took off when they were 21, at the earliest. I went straight through from college to law school, and I was 22 and one of the youngest ones here. She would have also likely have had to go to a pretty good university to be admitted to Columbia.

Thanks 9pm Guest! I am glad to see I am not the only law student procrastinating on Fashionista before my final tomorrow!
I would also guess that this may have happened a while back if only because admission to CLS has become so difficult.

Nah, Cameron Russell is too young. Wiki says she's expected to graduate in 2010, so she wouldn't have even applied to law schools yet. Looks like she's one to watch on that front though.
Hey law student/fashionista #2! If you check back before your final, good luck! I have Evidence next Weds and its going to killllll me.

It definitely could not have been Cameron Russell because she went to my friend's high school, and both my friend and I are undergrads in the class of 2010.
But I don't have any clue who this potential law student is either.

chanel iman! Just kidding...though as a CLS student I would be friggin' psyched to see her walk the halls.
Lauren Hutton? Amanda Hearst? (is that her name, Lydia's cousin?) Could also be a european girl as CLS offers the LLM degree (american law for foreigners)...stella tennant seems smart...

Kinda off topic- but is it possible to attend law school in the US without getting an undergrad degree first?
I'm 22 and have just completed my law degree at Oxford.

i love the fact that there are actually other law students on here... just because it's reading and nerdiness doesn't me we don't care about fashion. well that's the perception in australia anyway... good luck for your finals!

Many thanks to my fellow law students here on Fashionista for providing reassurance that there is life beyond studying during those three years of hell. I'm starting law school in the fall and as excited as I am about it, I was worried I'd fall entirely out of touch with the fashion world.

I'm starting law school in the fall and will turn 23 during orientation. Most girls break pretty young, seems like all the new, hot girls are 15-17. I'm stumped just trying to think of a girl who "took off" when she legal.

To answer the guest at 2:25 AM's question: yes. At a place like Columbia I doubt you'd get in without an undergrad degree unless you had some crazy connections, but the requirements for entrance to many law schools dictate 3/4 of undergrad coursework plus the school's preferred score on the LSAT.
This discussion actually took place at our Thanksgiving dinner last year--though I am a PR girl, my mother and grandfather are judges so I know these kinds of things even if I don't wish to..

Another CLS student commenting: I can safely say that it is pretty much impossible to get into law school without first graduating from university, let alone a top five law school like Columbia! I went to an Ivy for undergrad and had to work very hard to get into law school, it is very competitive! By the way, def not Hilary or anyone as young as that, the average law school applicant is 24, law schools are becoming more loathe to accept people directly out of college. So...I have no idea who would be that old when their career took off except for Raquel but I doubt its her.

I thought it was Cindy Crawford too... I think she had done some modeling and then finished undergrad before she got big...

It's def. not Cindy C - she went to Northwestern for engineering. Not law school.
My guess is Maggie Rizer. Her sis went to my law school - Brooklyn Law.

As a CLS student soon to be out of the door, here is what I can say--
(1) She must have an undergrad degree---assuming that she planned to go to law school right after college, she must have received admission by her senior year in college. Thus, she should have been 20-21 years old when she decided to forego her admission to law school, unless she is like a child prodigy who entered college before others do.
(2) An ivy league undergrad degree is not necessary--sure, an ivy league undergrad degree helps. But a stellar LSAT score and a decent GPA will do the trick from almost any school. Some of the most successful law students at columbia didn't go to an ivy undergrad.
So, which model is old enough? So many models are still in their teens...
Fashionista, give us an answer!

Lol, I'm glad people are as obsessed with this as me.
Please give us the answer Fashionista! I'm starting to wonder if perhaps they meant this less concretely...like some model who mentioned in an interview that they were thinking about law school until their career took off.

law student here!!
i'm 21, and almost complete my degree. In Mexico, you go directly to univeristy right after high school.
however, i do not know the correct answer to this! isn't it one of the 90's supermodels?

Not true: she was going to go to Columbia undergrad, she's too young for law school (you have to be older than 21 to get into a US law school b/c you need a B.A.)

Are you sure that Selita Ebanks accepted at Columbia Law? According to a few different sites, Ebanks was accepted at both Columbia and NYU undergrad, but attended neither in order to pursue a modeling career. Am I missing something?
posted by guest
May 09, 2008 4:18PM
Yeah, that's what I thought, the answer wasn't really right either.
Taken from Wikipedia:
"Later in life, Ebanks moved to the United States, and settled in Staten Island, New York. After moving to New York City she was accepted at Spelman College, Columbia University, and New York University.[3] However, she graduated from none of these institutions. She had planned to study Law before she started modeling. However, she did not study law."
Not accepted to Columbia Law, probs never even took the LSAT but, hey, she's a smarty-pants anyway. Yay, her!

May 09, 2008 4:20PM
I was going to say the same thing. I know wikipedia is not always reliable, but it suggested that Selita didn't even go to college? (Although she was offered admission for columbia undergrad, which does not equal law school)

It's definitely not Amanda Hearst, she's graduating from my college this year guest @12:13 A.M. I'm also going with Hilary Rhoda on this one

so is it really selita? because the last few comments make it seem like it isnt true

May 11, 2008 4:40AM
I don't want to point fingers or anything, but this would be a case of mistaken reporting if the answer was Selita Ebanks (and NO, it CANNOT be Hilary Rhoda--she doesn't have a B.A.). Selita, like Hilary, was admitted to Columbia University for an undergraduate degree, not law school.
