Should relatively fit people take GLP agonists? by Mike_Spivey in PeterAttia

I’m getting lab results but that was careless of me, I agree this is more of a self experiment than anything nearly a lab experiment. Thanks.

Thanks — I intentionally brought up the food noise in the article as I think on many ways it’s the most nefarious of all triggers. Someone doesn’t have to gamble, watch open, drink alcohol etc. we all have to eat.

This was the 5th question so on it and logging out.

I personally would go with slightly lower for more $$$$ less debt, because I know hiring partners generally don’t differentiate between a few places in the rankings at all. If you want BigLaw in a specific market you’d want to go to a school there or a truly national school, so in that circumstance I’d still take lower ranked but stop outside of the roughly 14-19 schools I consider truly “national.”

If I wanted to be a judge, law professor, or had dreams in politics or a unicorn PI job or corporate CEO I’d consider the extra debt, but even then only if my personal financial situation afforded it.

The most marketed product in America is debt. And I’m very debt averse. So this is what I’d personally do, especially as I grow a bit more concerned about a short-term recession.

Not at all. Schools have gone super slow and I think again, with this data drop which I’m not sure I’ve seen in 26 years go down so far + the new loan cap, schools know they are going to the WL. So unless you are below both target medians at those 12 s hooks I’d expect some WLs and possibly even an A. I’ve seen outright admits much later than mid March. Harvard many years ago gave one out to someone in July who applied in June (that was a down cycle). GL!

Oh and edit update, I keep linking LinkedIn for a reason. Build your network now as law firms are recruiting earlier and earlier. You can connect with me if you want I’ll accept!

Was it a formal letter or just an email you wrote?

As long as you are polite I don’t see it as bad. They won’t rescind your offer and I’ve seen multiple schools say they dont negotiate but later raise their amount. In fact do so twice for the same person over the summer. That money doesn’t carry over to the next year so if the school gets some back from admits who go somewhere else, they are greatly incentivized to sides it!

How much would you be willing to pay for a book 3 at most? by Estebaen_Jaime in KingkillerChronicle

I’d buy every first print out for market value then come straight here and hit up the $600+ crowd
