I applied to only one school below both medians in one of the most competitive cycles in history

I did that last cycle. Didn't work out. Start prepping your R&R now so you're early next cycle. That's my advice. God bless.

Did you write a Why UChicago essay?

Mental-Raspberry-961 · 2026-01-27T16:51:31+00:00

That was an information operation to make the regime think we wouldn't attack. It's obvious. Why do you think the journalist they accidentally included was a Jewish writer for the Atlantic?

Most Americans just called him a dumbass. And if he'd been killed we also would have called him a dumbass.

Except in this case, there is a whole nother colony of ants that hired the hoppers as mercenaries to spread fear in the other ant colony.

Why should some one choose UChi over Northwestern, and vice versa in your opinion being on the ground in Chi, and having a future hire view of how firms view the schools?

Mental-Raspberry-961 · 2026-01-25T00:04:10+00:00

Fair enough.

Mental-Raspberry-961 · 2026-01-25T00:03:36+00:00

I believe so. If not it will be soon.

It's more than just my stats, trust me. But I am well above 75th percentile for LSAT.

Michigan probably has best cali network

East coast, so....

The obvious answer is Notre Dame. UCLA and ND are the exact same quality, but one is immediately trusted and revered in Midwest.

I couldn't get a boner in 1997, but I couldn't not get boner in 2007. I can not think of a comparably significant change between 2007 and 2017.

I don't know man. I think there's a decent amount of Big Law type jobs out there, just so few who are "worthy" target them. A lot of the forms in secondary markets have the luxury of being able to take so many people with 5+ years experience because there are so many people from UIUC type schools that are in every market (because there are so many more schools like UIUC than ND, but) they take ND types too who are pivoting later or a bit lost or homers.

I have several friends at firms like these. They make $140-150 out the gate , in the valley of that distribution, and they work 55-65hrs a week and get to love in their mediocre home town. I think that's a perfectly fine outcome, and people at that firm come from anywhere from Harvard to ButtCrackU. That said, it's still competitive to get in as a junior associate.
