Before Vinny Guadagnino from MTV’s hit reality TV show “Jersey Shore” gained national celebrity, he considered enrolling in law school — specifically, Yale Law School, he told UsMagazine.com last Saturday.

Apparently, Guadagnino took his LSATs before graduating from college and had hoped to apply to several Ivy League law schools, but has decided that, for the time being, “Jersey Shore” is a better fit than law school.

“My score was decent. I had a plan that if my score was really well [sic], then I might of [sic] just went to Yale or Harvard… But it was just mediocre. I can get into law school,” Guadagnino told UsMagazine.com. “I had a 3.9 GPA, Latin Honors, but I’m doing this right now. Law school is always on the back burner.”

But just because he’s not enrolled in Yale Law School doesn’t mean Guadagnino is staying away from the Elm City; last Thursday, he took the stage at Elevate Lounge on Crown Street.
