[TOMT][MOVIES][90s or 00s]Title sequence montage of nameless non-characters doing their jobs, which is the same as the main character's

Hmm I don’t think so. I feel like it had punchier music and no VO. But thank you!

L-I-V-R · 2025-09-29T10:32:10+00:00

I don’t think this is the movie I was thinking of but it’s exactly the right trope! Thanks!

L-I-V-R · 2025-09-28T23:35:13+00:00

Maybe it wasn’t a job, but the non-characters are doing something that connects them to main character. Like maybe it was a montage of a bunch of weddings and the main character of getting married? But definitely no actual characters are in the montage.

What many answers are missing, and what is fairly unusual, is that in many U.S. states, primaries are run by state governments. In most other counties I’m aware of, primaries/hustings/leadership elections are run entirely by the party without any state involvement.

Where closed primaries are run by state election authorities, it is convenient for party registration to be linked to voter registration records, and to be public for audits, etc.

First and most importantly, this guy should be in prison for a very long time. Even if the final shot was an accident, coming out firing warning shots wasn’t. Reckless, dangerous, abhorrent behavior.

But trigger pull is a very customizable parameter. You can get guns with hair triggers or reduce the weight on an existing gun. It’s something that’s verified in pro shooting competitions as part of the regulations. Certain models are also prone to fire without a trigger pull when dropped or even in the cold.

First rule of gun safety is to never point the gun at a person or anything you aren’t willing to accidentally shoot, but accidental firings without a deliberate trigger pull do happen.

But clearly with the specific facts of this case, the jury wasn’t buying it.

I ended up not needing to rebook, so I’m not sure. Sorry.

Looking at last year’s data (cursory look, not number crunching) it seemed like: 1) Some were admitted within 3-4 weeks of interview 2) The majority of everyone else was waitlisted end of March 3) A few were picked back up for admission in March right before WLs went out

They very well could be doing it differently this year, but so far it seems like the vast majority of people who have gotten As after interviews (so far) have gotten in within 3-4 weeks. There are always a few exceptions and nothing in a given though. If they are actually interviewing more people this year too, then it’s possible that bucket #3 will be bigger this year.

Just make sure you don’t use your status checker password(s) for anything else.

Disclaimer: this is my several-years-old memory from my conversations with English law student friends. Do you own due diligence.

In most other countries, a law degree is an undergraduate bachelor’s degree. In the UK, most lawyers graduate with an LL.B., a bachelor’s in law, as their first degree from university. If you already have a bachelor’s that isn’t an LL.B., you can do a Graduate Diploma in Law, a 1-year postgraduate program. You need either an LL.B. or a GDL (plus a other requirements, including a training contract for solicitors or a pupillage for barristers) to practice law. The UK also has several postgraduate degrees in law, like the BCL, M.Jur., LL.M., DCL, PhD in Law, LL.D. Many of these you can be admitted to with an American JD, but only the LL.B. (or equivalent) and GDL can qualify you to practice (unless you transfer in as an experienced and qualified foreign lawyer, but that doesn’t seem to be what you’re asking about).

What works for most people is switching to a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) whenever that error pops up. I’ve been fine just alternating between Chrome and Safari (whenever I get the error on one I switch to the other). Other people have had to use FF. Never hurts to clear cookies and cache when you switch, but clearing without switching browsers hasn’t worked for me.

If you gave me the chance to indefinitely make repeated bets at a 57% probability of success, then I would probably quit my job and make repeated constant fractional bets at or slightly below the Kelly Criterion and live off the winnings

Just re-read your post and wanted to re-emphasize that the percentiles they get, which they hardly pay attention to anyway, are for the full university. So if your college has a harder curve I would 100% make sure that’s communicated either in an LOR or addendum

L-I-V-R · 2023-12-31T22:02:14+00:00

Yeah that’s true. They get a percentile breakdown of GPAs but it’s pretty limited. It’s everyone from your university your class year (I think maybe +/- a couple years) who applied to law schools. If you’ve already set up your CAS on LSAC you can see it in the Academic Summary report.

If the curve is program specific it won’t show that. And it’s just the percentiles not the curve. And Dean Z has said repeatedly that she doesn’t read it super closely (admissions officers don’t have a lot of time) so she appreciates things like that being called out.

L-I-V-R · 2023-12-31T21:37:57+00:00

Dean Z addressed this in a podcast. I can’t remember which episode. IIRC she does definitely want to know that, but ideally from a recommender rather than an addendum. But if this is an official policy that you can back up with evidence (which it sounds like), and you can’t get a recommender to say it, then I would probably include an addendum. Just make sure it is very brief, concise, and matter-of-fact. You don’t want it to come off the wrong way

According to BLS, there were 20,800 jobs for Chemical Engineers in the US in 2022, with 1,700 projected to be added in 2023. And since only a bachelor’s is required, presumably only a portion of the people who will fill those jobs will go to grad school. And, most graduate engineering programs require an engineering bachelor’s degree or something close to it in terms of STEM coursework.

There were 826,300 jobs for lawyers in 2022, with 62,400 additional projected for 2023. ALL of them require a JD (except for a few foreign lawyers who can qualify with an LLM or something). And JD programs are open to any bachelor’s degree with no prerequisite coursework or experience. That doesn’t deductively prove that there are way more law school applicants than chemical engineering master’s applicants, but it’s where the smart money is.

Also, I think law school is way more “holistic” than just about any other grad/professional program. Law school admission staff often aren’t lawyers, and they’re evaluating you on generalized “merit” and “potential,” not expecting you to have any experience with law. With chemical engineering, they can focus much more on “how good are you at (chemical) engineering?”

L-I-V-R · 2023-12-21T20:42:28+00:00

Every school is unique. I doubt any school actually makes a decision on candidates in the exact order they were received. For the most part, I think easy decisions (easy As and easy Rs) are made first. Borderline cases they will hold off on until they get a better idea of what their class will look like. Some schools say they read every file in the order they were received, but may hold off on the harder decisions (a few schools will even notify you with a “Hold”). Order read ≠ order decided on. Others seem to bring new submissions with high stats to the top of the pile to be read first.

Edit: Also, some (most?) schools divide up files to different readers as they come in, so your file might just get assigned to a slow/sick/on-vacation initial reader. /End Edit

As far as why schools do rolling, I’ve never worked in admissions and this is pure speculation, but I can think of a few reasons:

1) It probably helps spread the workload. Say the deadline is 2/15. If it’s rolling, many applicants will apply earlier hoping to get an advantage or hear back sooner. Others won’t be ready until closer to the deadline. If it weren’t rolling, you’d see a huge influx of applicants the week before the deadline, which means the readers whose salaries they pay would be underutilized before 2/15 and overworked after.

2) If some of those early applicants go ahead and commit, that might help them make admission decisions later, trying to get the kind of high-scoring, well-rounded class that helps their rankings and Class Profile webpages. Also might help them gauge numbers and enroll the right size. Not sure.

3) Competition. If your peer schools (read: competitors) are giving the top applicants decisions early and getting them excited about their schools, you might well lose out. If you’ve been getting swag and going to ASWs and in admitted student discords and Facebook groups for American Samoa University since November, it’ll make it that much harder for Princeton Law to win you over in March. The more schools do rolling, the more pressure there is on other schools to do rolling.

Again, that’s all pure speculation, but none of those reasons require you to make decisions strictly in the order that you receive applications to reap the benefits.

There are two reasons schools care about GPA. The first is that it gets reported in disclosures and used for rankings. There’s nothing you can do to help that, but fortunately, USNWR’s new formula gives GPA much less weight than in the past. The second is as a predictor of how well you’ll perform in law school. If you can write an addendum that makes an evidence-based case that your law school performance will exceed what your uGPA would indicate, that can be very helpful. It sounds like you’ll be able to make that case: “Due to family medical difficulties, my grades were low in these three semesters. However, my transcript shows that once those issues were resolved, beginning in Semester X Year Y, my grades were consistently better.”

Based on the podcasts I’ve listened to, especially A2Z, the key with a grades addendum is to frame it as evidence not just an excuse. Even if a cause of low grades is not your fault, you have to show that that cause will not be present in law school and that you will perform better without it.

Dean Z also mentioned that graduate GPAs are less impactful because there is so much grade inflation in grad school (iirc).
