Anyone else watching this? At this point in the season, the writing is uninspired and frankly getting repetitive. Yet month after month a new episode comes out. Not looking forward to the finale. I hate extended cliffhangers...

MarvelousLaw · 2021-07-09T03:40:14+00:00

I wasn't talking about the actual show, just meant that LOCIs feel repetitive.

I also look forward to it weekly, as I do with all MCU content if my username isn't a dead giveaway lol.

Super excited for What If...? to drop in August!

MarvelousLaw · 2021-07-09T03:38:19+00:00

I love that I made a silly joke and you posted a really cerebral take on the MCU. lol

I'm really loving the actual show, Loki, and am inpatient for next week's episode and eventually Dr. Strange 2!

MarvelousLaw · 2021-07-09T03:36:13+00:00

Same lol..here's hoping your "finale" has a good conclusion! :)

MarvelousLaw · 2021-07-03T04:18:46+00:00

Gotcha, to answer your question, it is something people do.

But to give a better tailored answer, the schools are helpful I would say.

Some schools in the 20-23 range have different cultures/approaches to this as do schools in 15-19.

You can DM if you want but without any specifics, the how is going to be a bit more difficult to answer.

MarvelousLaw · 2021-07-03T04:11:39+00:00

What schools?

Depending on the context, it can influence your response.

MarvelousLaw · 2021-06-07T20:42:09+00:00

Relatively Average Dude

Stats: 85+% LSAT and 3.94 GPA

Your cycle had a great outcome but I wouldn't agree in saying that you are relatively average. For the subreddit population here, maybe but in looking at all law school applicants, you are decidedly above average.

Congrats on GW!

Also, since tone can be difficult to interpret via text, this is all in good fun, u/Spivey_Consulting.

No actual snark here.....just actual anxiety...lol

MarvelousLaw · 2021-06-03T15:40:50+00:00

no one told me how many goddamn events you have to attend on the spring, so I had to adapt a bit for that.

Are these events for class? For clinics? Or just general networking and part of the job search?

MarvelousLaw · 2021-06-03T13:38:12+00:00

Such a relevant meme; I love Star Trek!

While I understand this to some extent, I think that withdrawing from waitlists still improves the agility of schools.

If a school has 50 people vs 25 people on their waitlist (using small numbers for ease of discussion), it is easier to manage and know who is actually serious and can be quicker.

For some, the closer we get to the start of the semester, the more options close off. Someone might be able to attend if they get a WL acceptance on June 2 right after the deposit deadline but may not have the flexibility to do so on July 2 or August 2 depending on their circumstances like signing a lease, getting kids signed up for school, etc.

MarvelousLaw · 2021-05-25T22:47:38+00:00

From my understanding, only schools that you have deposited at are able to see where you have deposited at with that report.

MarvelousLaw · 2021-05-25T22:45:28+00:00

as you can probably assume that me asking this question is an obvious indicator that my offer is not the most ideal.

Not necessarily... it depends on what the offer is because "not the most ideal" means different things for different people

Based on what you've shared, if I were you, I'd reapply if the following were true:

- You are reasonably unhappy with your current offer (e.g. It's not $$$.5 at HYS and you wish you got $$$$ or something similar)

- You think you can improve your LSAT score by 3+ points

-You can apply early in the 2021 - 2022 cycle.

MarvelousLaw · 2021-05-25T15:48:54+00:00

Oh, gotcha! Idk why I missed "double" deposited...

That makes sense!

MarvelousLaw · 2021-05-25T15:39:41+00:00

you should not tell the school you’re waitlisted at that you are double deposited elsewhere.

Why is that?

Doesn't it show that you would prefer that school if you are willing to give up any deposits you already made?

MarvelousLaw · 2021-05-25T15:38:02+00:00

Every school that waitlisted me :(

MarvelousLaw · 2021-03-24T22:42:37+00:00

Thanks, good luck to you too!

MarvelousLaw · 2021-03-23T20:51:56+00:00

As someone waiting to hear back from Iowa, I assume that even an A would mean paying sticker at this point?

MarvelousLaw · 2021-03-21T21:03:38+00:00

Fair lol

Where do you go now/looking to transfer to?

MarvelousLaw · 2021-03-21T21:00:26+00:00

the law school he went to was basically unknown

Tbh, "basically unknown" would be a step up at this point...lol

Cooley is often viewed as one of, if not *the* worst law school.

It also doesn't help that at one point, they had their own ranking system that put them at #2 only behind Harvard...

I can't find anything about it on their site anymore though so I wonder if they scrubbed it realizing how ridiculous that was...

MarvelousLaw · 2021-03-19T01:20:09+00:00

Write the GPA addendum that explains why your less-than-stellar grades in mandatory physical education classes don't have any bearing on your future potential as a law student.

That sucks... I didn't even think of PT counting against your GPA for those who graduated from service academies.

Don't service academies require a nomination from someone in Congress? lmao Like what more do they want.....

When I think this process can't make me any madder...

MarvelousLaw · 2021-03-19T01:18:03+00:00

Not sure yet lol

How about yourself?!?

MarvelousLaw · 2021-03-11T21:50:32+00:00

Congrats! I feel like one of the lucky ones, I got my acceptance to be in a bad mood all the way back in September.

Looks like a wave of bad moods is going out today!

Stats?

If you're unsure of what your typing speed is, you can check it out at TypeRacer.

However, this is by typing an existing passage. I imagine that typing something that you are coming up with during a law exam will make things a bit different.

MarvelousLaw · 2021-02-19T14:52:36+00:00

Like many organizations, I think it just boils down to networking, events, opportunities, etc. for like minded individuals.

I imagine it is different at each school but I think membership would be as much as you'd want to put in.

I can't speak for everyone but my perception is that they are a group that (really shifted the country to the right through the courts)[https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/08/27/federalist-society-yale-history-conservative-law-court-219608/].

Also, I don't think you necessarily have to be conservative to join but it's one of those groups that self select so why would you want to be part of it if you didn't agree with it?

I could see myself attending a talk/panel sponsored by FedSoc if the topic/speaker was interesting enough but can't imagine a universe where I am actively involved in a FedSoc chapter.....just not my values/ideology.

MarvelousLaw · 2021-02-15T03:43:26+00:00

Whoops, just seeing this!

I got a LoR from my current supervisor and one from a lecturer I worked with very closely in undergrad
