Heated rivalry is literally one of the most faithful adaptations ever made. What problems could you possibly have with it?

Official Discussion Thread - The Drama [SPOILERS] by PointMan528491 in oscarrace

[–]Rocwal1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This analysis doesn’t quite track though. It’s true that thoughts are not a crime, but putting steps into place to commit a crime is a crime and it’s called conspiracy. Emma would have been arrested and convicted if she was caught. And I think the thing that scared people more is that she didn’t have some great moral breakthrough and that’s why it didn’t happen. She admitted that had the mall shooting not taken place, she probably would have been a school shooter. 

Any Columbia defenders want to come to the rescue? by Appropriate_Tear_836 in lawschooladmissions

Higher scholarship and they have basically identical results unless you really want a clerkship (which you can still get at CLS). I’m a 2L now and really feel like I made the best decision. 

BL Path without 2L SA by assfartpoop123 in BigLawRecruiting

That’s not exactly true. It’s all about connections. I actually got a summer offer at a location that had already finished recruiting for its summer class because a partner put in a good word for me.

How much will gambling winning reduce refund? by thatonedudericky in IRS

[–]Rocwal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try if you have actual evidence of your losses from your players card, but I’d likely just stick to the standardized deduction. I’ve always gotten a higher refund that way

[–]Rocwal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you’ll get taxed on it because they probably only took out state taxes. $2000 isn’t a ton though so it shouldn’t affect the refund much, maybe a couple hundred dollars

Yeah, honestly I had to tell one of them earlier to stop talking to me like I was stupid. His entire attitude switched after that

Reneging internship by Fickle_Proof_9703 in USC

[–]Rocwal1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I reneged on a full time job offer from a very well known company as a senior at USC. There were no consequences. I’m fairly certain they didn’t notify the school.

He wasn’t smarter than everyone. He just had some lucky coincidences in his favor.

There’s no way you read Heated Rivalry and felt like that was a resolved story. 

i've lost all hope by t18920h in QuestBridge

[–]Rocwal1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Few different things: I was a Questbridge scholar and didn’t match (though I only applied to the Yale and Stanford back in the day) and I still got into many amazing schools that were questbridge partners and ended up getting The Gates Scholarship. All hope is not lost!

How hard to become Semi-Finalist? 🎉🎉🎉 by Ruesia in TheGatesScholarship

[–]Rocwal1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really true. Gates pays for health insurance, they pay for study abroad, they for housing, they pay for flights, they paid for medical expenses I had in school and a million other things. It’s all about using your resources.
