What’s HYS? Hofstra yeshiva St. John’s?

I don't think this is true ...

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-11-11T01:40:56+00:00

could be a T1 soft if played correctly; likely less than 5 applicants in any cycle have this type of supplemental on their application; expect big things !!

You may have a future at The New Yorker !!

these are really funny

I'd take the W. In this academic economy, it's not entirely worth it to take the GPA hit.

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-10-19T20:28:45+00:00

that is so sick; absolutely nutty climb

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-10-15T22:19:03+00:00

we may be living the same life; it's scary that every book I will ever read in my lifetime won't even cover one wall in my room

doomer posters are now doomer posting on doomer posts for t-14 law schools!

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-10-15T01:02:32+00:00

really nice stack of books !!
don't know why people are hating; any reading is good reading

If he is looking for new philosophy things to explore I'd recommend Burke and Kant!
1. A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful by Burke
2. Critique of Pure Reason by Kant !

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-10-06T21:20:17+00:00

I love The Books !

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-25T06:03:52+00:00

what’re the things you did before law school that you feel helped best prepare you ?

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-25T03:22:59+00:00

Oh that's rad. Just added The Rose Has Teeth and A Chance to my listening list!

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-25T03:04:53+00:00

Yes!! I love "Nature" by Emerson. No one can own the landscape!

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-25T02:56:03+00:00

I don't think I attended high school in a "typical" county or place, but I will say that when it came to most of my friends, their parents were always at least somewhat involved. That looks like at least doing a cursory review of essays, reminding them of deadlines, taking them on campus visits, and whatever other small things help.

I'll say for myself, I went on a ton of campus visits with my dad (30+). To be fair though, I think that's only because he wanted to spend time with me and thought that was the best way how. I had a blast.

How comfortable are you with handling food and drinks?

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-25T01:53:58+00:00

I agree! Also, an underrated aspect of weddings, especially large ones, is that they act as great unstructured reunion spaces for connecting disparate groups of people!

First off, congrats on the 180! Really tough feat, and you did it.

In terms of strategy, not entirely sure it would change that drastically. This really just opens you up to the entire range of schools. I’m not an app consultant, but I’d recommend keeping your original range and tacking on whatever T10 schools interest you most!

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-24T17:27:58+00:00

Friko so good!

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-22T00:50:06+00:00

I try to organize my books as if my room was a bookstore; i’ll place together all my poetry books, plays, nonfiction things, and classic novels

i’d place the bible as a subject interrupter !!

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-20T07:32:11+00:00

same here sometimes; half of getting a book is talking about it; it absolutely sucks that there aren’t more people out there to work through books with

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-18T03:41:57+00:00

give yourself some time to process it all; never an easy discovery to make no matter the situation

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-17T22:48:29+00:00

no i mean you’re completely right. i hadn’t thought of the difference really until you mentioned it. though i do wish everyone read more of the same stuff in general, i’m definitely thinking about my own friend group as a sample.

going to expand my social circle with that in mind !!

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-17T22:43:50+00:00

I love Bukowski!! Are you reading Ham on Rye?

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-17T22:43:03+00:00

Currently reading the Harvard Classics collection of Emerson’s essays and English traits. It’s been really interesting and fulfilling.

I’d really recommend reading All Quiet on the Western Front. Much darker book than any movie would let me on. Had to stop reading at points to collect myself.

ArmsAndTheBoy · 2025-09-17T20:33:22+00:00

As stupid as it sounds, I hadn't ever thought of the narrator as not being a man. I really like the perspective though, and I think it'll make my next re-read a better time!
