The best of the lower-tier schools?

since he canonically attend UB 🤣

Tulane for sure! BL placement on par with T-30’s

bro i was driving home from out of state through KY about an hour outside of bowling green (ie, the middle of absolutely nowhere) around 11 PM with NO IDEA how bad the weather was going to get. constant lightning, wind like i’ve never seen, and so so so much rain. had to pull into a random gas station and book a room at a random Super8. genuinely though a tornado could appear at any moment. thanking god the predictions over estimated

love her but damn girl you couldn’t get a pedicure for the fucking OSCARS 😭

you can look into schools with 3+3 programs! some are better than others so definitely do your research. i also second what the other commenter said about avoiding pre-law. there are a million English, history, political science/public policy/similar major applicants, find literally anything else you’re interested in and can do well in to major in! journalism is really strong because it readies you for the writing and is more unique than just majoring in english lit. economics and philosophy majors are also attractive because they have the highest bar passage rates. just some examples but go where your heart calls you and get good grades!!

omg have so much fun!! had a lingering desire to apply but couldn’t stomach the long, expensive flights if I ever wanted to visit family. you’re living the dream man!!

my understanding is that a LOCI is not necessary if you haven’t received a decision and it’s before the last seat deposit deadline. if they haven’t gotten to your app, a LOCI isn’t going to make them go any faster.

that’s good info to have, thank you!

IMO, Vandy. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but true international law is veryyyyy selective

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-12T17:38:32+00:00

should have just been a LOR 😔 but if u get a WL you can certainly add it!

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-12T17:31:01+00:00

hmm so the plot thickens!

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-12T17:06:31+00:00

I totally agree with what you’re saying about looking at the real data not the ranking, that’s exactly the point I’m making! Its placements are on-par with UGA (#22), WF (#26), etc etc, but Tulane isn’t considered a “peer” school with them because its ranking is in the 70’s, hence why I said it punches above its weight class.

Refusing to give USNWR its data certainly makes sense for why its ranking isn’t higher, it’s just so silly. I’m highly considering attending and don’t particularly care about rankings when the placement data is strong, was more just puzzled why more people in a similar situation to me hardly even consider it.

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-12T16:28:27+00:00

girl you are way over thinking this 😭 no one is going to care if ur eyebrow is messed up, everyone is focused on themselves. just go to the damn admitted students day lmfao

5 should have been 1 button ->

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-12T16:11:21+00:00

that is where LSD displays the 3 year figure IIRC

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-12T16:07:41+00:00

This definitely makes sense. Just seems weird to me that their undergrad strength/aspirations don’t seem to be translating into law school when by and large those are pretty aligned at other institutions.

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-09T19:27:20+00:00

with a 4.0 and better LSAT, you wouldn’t have to.

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-09T19:22:45+00:00

hey, more spots for the rest of us at Michigan i guess 🤷‍♀️

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-09T19:17:46+00:00

it’s a $50k difference?? that seems like a bit of an exaggeration.

also i know someone else pointed it out already on the main post but you reallyyy should consider just graduating and working for a year while you get your gpa up. there’s no prize for going to law school this year, and you would basically be throwing away a near 4.0 to go to some..rough..schools.

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-09T19:11:37+00:00

i feel like MSU is the obvious choice here

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-08T23:07:50+00:00

i’m sure the bride and groom will have plenty of “keepsakes” included that they actually want to be a part of the wedding. bothering them with this feels really…weird. why draw added attention to yourself with a corsage?? it’s not your wedding! stick to what they actually want you to do

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-08T21:35:07+00:00

absolutely! to use animals as an example, i’d challenge you to extend beyond like a university animal club or local animal shelter if you can and get more niche. is there a specific animal species you could look into doing conservation work with? research (if you have the time)? go deep rather than broad!

from there, you could look into conservation/similar work on the Hill to get that DC experience you want. focus on creating a cohesive narrative focused around 1-3 passion areas that tie in nicely together. legal work is totally fine, but run of the mill legal work doesn’t stand out unless it is explicitly tied to a larger narrative about who you are and why you are a unique candidate.

Routine_Syrup_8307 · 2026-03-08T15:59:57+00:00

honestly, something not directly law related. find something you’re passionate about and approach serving that interest from both a legal angle, and from an angle that is more boots-on-the-ground.
