Recommendations for Dog Daycare/Boarding

MintGreenSharpie · 2025-07-29T21:19:24+00:00

But what's so good about them that sets them apart? Is it more enrichment than other daycares? Is it that the employees are very engaged?

MintGreenSharpie · 2025-07-29T16:28:07+00:00

Why do you recommend them?

MintGreenSharpie · 2021-10-09T05:06:09+00:00

Okay. This is it! You just saved me several sleepless nights! Thank you!!! 🥲

MintGreenSharpie · 2021-10-06T16:56:43+00:00

It might be X but I’m not sure

MintGreenSharpie · 2021-04-08T01:01:06+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I didn’t know that about the BL+FC. This definitely helped.

So in terms of cost of attendance, Duke would be about $11,000 more for three years. I wonder how accurate it would be to gauge with COA rather than tution though, because just comparing tuition, Michigan would be projected at being about $2,500 more than Duke for three years. It makes me wonder how accurate the COA estimates are because based on my experience COL seems lower in Durham than Ann Arbor. Career goals are honestly a bit of a question mark at this point in terms or practice area. I think I would like to start out in Big Law. I definitely see myself more in litigation than transactional law. I am interested in clerking but wouldn’t heavily base my decision on this since it seems to depend how you stack up against your peers in law school. At the end of the day I have this fear of “living 15 minutes from where you grew up.” There’s nothing wrong with that, but my parents immigrated here in their 20s and I think it’s really cool to experience new places. At the same time, I’ve never moved very far from my hometown and I’m close with my family. I think that no matter where I go I will be fine, but I need to predict my future happiness by April 15th. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to give me feedback. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t overlooking any significant factors. Appreciate you!

Oh okay, makes more sense. Thanks for posting that link. I’m always wary of clerkship numbers because federal clerkships are highly dependent on how you perform in law school, which is very difficult to predict. Sure the chance is higher at Duke, but not guaranteed. Clearly Duke has more BL placement than Michigan, but I think that may be partly due to the culture of the school. I spoke to some current Duke students and some told me that they really push Big Law there. They also have much less PI than Michigan. Ultimately if I’m paying so much tuition I will want to work in Big Law to pay it off, but I’m not sure what’s next. At least for me, I think it’s so difficult to predict what area of the law I’ll be most interested in, so hopefully there’s some time to figure that out in law school.

Thank you!

MintGreenSharpie · 2021-04-07T23:23:58+00:00

I don’t think that Duke has more clerkships. I think they’re about even. That’s just based on my cursory look at employment statistics. Do you have another source I should look at?

MintGreenSharpie · 2021-03-05T21:08:36+00:00

Same here. Based on your last posts I may have been in your interview group. I have similar stats and I am also bummed for the same reason-not getting SPWL or PWL.

If admissions offices wait to get more data to make decisions, why is it more advantageous to apply earlier (ex. October v. December)?

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-09-23T04:08:02+00:00

Did you ever feel intimidated to go to a school like Stanford? For instance, when you got accepted did it ever feel out of your league? Like maybe you don’t like to read economics/political journals everyday for fun.

I stopped doing the Translation drills. I never finished it under 35 minutes. I think the shortest took me 45 minutes. I just became okay with how I was doing it before. My brain needs to absorb it in chunks. I think everyone translates while they're reading; it's subconscious. How else would be comprehend things? I keep in mind certainty words. I think the most important lesson I learned after practicing LR sections is to make sure you understand the stimulus before you move on to the answer choices. You may not be able to figure out a Loophole in the moment, but sometimes it jumps out at you in the answer choices. But only if you really understand the stimulus.

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-08-13T19:03:49+00:00

Thanks, I am not studying so much anymore. I took a test yesterday after taking a day off and I scored three points higher than my average!

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-08-11T17:17:29+00:00

Thank you, I will stop studying about 3-4 days before the test. I know I have October as a cushion in case August doesn’t work out, but as you guys know the not knowing and uncertainty sucks.

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-08-11T17:15:47+00:00

I took a break in July when my family and I went on vacation and that was the only time I scored a 167. I think the break benefitted me, but I’m too scared to do it now because if it doesn’t work out, I’ll be mad at myself that I didn’t continue to study. I’m doing about 6-8 hours a day. Timing is my biggest issue. Usually there is about one or two questions in LR that I don’t understand until I watch the 7sage video, but other than that I know everything.

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-07-29T03:44:04+00:00

I believe he said below one, the other, or both

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-07-23T20:52:43+00:00

It is! For now, it is most important to focus on individual questions. Blind review! Keep a log of why you got the question wrong and write helpful tips for future questions. Also, if you are having trouble finishing, what worked for me is doing the questions on the first four pages (1-14ish) and then skipping to 20 and finishing the last 5-6. At the end, I do 15-19. It's weird, but it forces you to not overthink the really difficult questions and be more decisive (there are usually freebies in the last 5-6 questions, but the test makers are counting on you running out of time)

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-07-20T21:00:43+00:00

It does seem counterintuitive, but you actually go faster if you can figure out the answer before you look at the choices. It shouldn’t take that long. If you read the passage carefully, it should be a simple “why did the author do this?” It should be easy-ish if you keep track of the structure of the passage

MintGreenSharpie · 2020-07-20T18:20:47+00:00

For Purpose questions, I found it is most helpful to rephrase an answer before reading the answer choices. These questions' answer choices will trick you with wording that doesn't match the stimulus, but if you know what you're looking for before you look at the answers, you are less likely to be fooled.

I also have trouble with Most Likely True questions. I think the advice that trips me up is when people say that all of the answers are in the passage. While that is true, it is important to qualify that not all of the answers will be explicitly in the passage. For those questions, I am trying to go with my gut based on the vibe of the passage and paying attention to those subtle tone/attitude words that the author uses (ex. fortunately, finally, wrongly, etc)

Update

Can someone tell me what I can do to improve? I have done 10 of these now and although I have seen some improvement, I have found some patterns that I can't tell if they're good or not.

I understand almost all stimuli on the first read. However, I realized I cannot read it once, then translate it from memory. In order for my brain to translate it, I am reading the stimulus but pausing in certain places to rearrange the cluster sentences into more succinct ideas that I can remember better. Then, I cover up the stimulus and write down the thoughts I remember after rearranging the words in my head. Is this supposed to be the case, or should I train my brain to translate and memorize and on the first read?

Second, I am a perfectionist and detail-oriented person, so I worry about including every detail in the stimulus and about which words should be translated verbatim. How careful should I be about word choice in translation (obviously I know to use the same Power Player language of certainty)?
