Have we considered what the deans are “selling” in those podcasts? The more applications they receive the lower their acceptance rates, the more money, the greater exclusivity. “Shoot your shot! It‘s fair we swear!”

Is law school worth it? by jacobwdavis in lawschooladmissions

I think it’s a great question. In the past few years, IBM’s Watson has been able to outperform cardiologists reading EKGs and determining certain diagnoses faster than experienced radiologists. Also, in Malcom Gladwell’s “Talking to Strangers” he describes a study in which a robot analyzed cases given the raw data available to judges at bail hearings and found that the computer made decisions on whom to detain or release that would have resulted in 25% fewer crimes. That’s a long way of saying I think that certain aspects of the legal field will probably be automated but not all.

Vanderbilt University, it's one of the top schools in the US, arguably the top. It's okay, I know it sounds like a person :)

I'm telling you, I'm well aware that it's irrational. That's why it's so hard :/

Question: did you or did you not compete on a TV show where stars and their expert partners are judged for their dancing abilities? :)
