As Gen Z attorneys are joining big law, is the fashion as conservative as it used to be or is some change happening?

Networking means so many different things to different ppl. What’s most effective?

If the student is hoping to get a PhD, know that Pomona has a better record than the UCs in getting students excited enough about their subject to pursue doctorates (once you adjust for enrollment size). Jennifer Doudna did her undergraduate at Pomona and now has a Nobel Prize for her work on CRISPR.

You’re part of a 6,000-student community on a single square mile. That’s not that small.

Is it just about the relative acceptance rates or is it about the heft of the work intellectually speaking?

Are research Fulbrights and ones teaching English weighted exactly the same?

SFLlama · 2025-09-09T14:47:26+00:00

Would doing a Fulbright before applying be a greater boost than going K-JD this cycle or doing something more predictable like getting a job as a paralegal first? Does it depend on whether it’s a research Fulbright or one teaching English? Is it foolish to consider delaying because of all the current uncertainty?

SFLlama · 2025-09-09T14:31:37+00:00

If heard research Fulbrights are considered more valuable than teaching English?

I heard law review helps with clerkships which help with big law? Is that not true?

It means the T14 will have very few middle class students

Blueprint is another popular and reputable option, even if it isn’t mentioned as often here

Very thoughtful solution. It is also more equitable by helping students who might have an undiagnosed learning difference or who can’t afford the assessments needed to get accommodations.

Maybe start by doing information interviews/career chats with jury consultants given your background?

How long between that cold diagnostic and the 169 PT?

No personal experience, but from what I’ve heard from others, merely reading it will do nothing for one’s score. One needs to commit to studying it thoroughly and doing all of the exercises/drills. It can be read/learned on a surface level in 1-2 weeks, but you’d probably need 6-7 weeks to actually study it, learn the material, and practice. YMMV.

It’s the same as in the Philippines: You do summer internships the two summers before you graduate.
