That makes it potentially worth it if you want the skills, though you might be able to gain similar basic skills by taking one of those "Analytical Methods for Lawyers" courses that actually count for class credit and don't cost extra money. Perhaps if you aren't confident in business or basic quant skills you might prefer CORe, since it won't result in a grade for your transcript. But — assuming you're a 0L — doing CORe comes at the cost of diluting enjoyment of your last summer of life unburdened by the chains of The Law™.Chuck Rhoades wrote:Thoughts on the HBX Credential of Readiness (CORe) course?
I did CORe as a 0L last summer, and was asked about it in nearly every 1L summer job interview. I believe it was a strong boost to my otherwise average resume, and helped me get multiple offers - including a V5 and a relatively selective government position.
Overall I thought it was a great learning platform and well worth the $300, but that might differ for econ/stat majors, or if you want to avoid the time commitment. PM for more details.
