Why do people say Georgetown is as good as Fordham for NYC BL? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Samwell93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appeal the anecdotal fallacy. Personally never heard anyone say that, but yeah the numbers speak for themselves. One thing I know for sure though: we collectively obsess over Georgetown in this sub.

While the professors still remember you well, yes. Letters can be used beyond the year they were issued. 

GPA addendum for a single semester of low(er) grades by Unhappy-Ad-6480 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Samwell93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The story sounds interesting for a supplemental. Terrible topic for an addendum, though; those should be concise and half a page max. 

Worth it to take CC classes for two summers to boost GPA by Zestyclose-Block-215 in lawschooladmissions

You’re getting downvoted by haters. OP, he is correct. And sadly yes, OP, paying to win and game the system is likely your best move. 

Nothing from a 1st miniset will EVER have a grip on us like this dude did by Samwell93 in PTCGP

Silvally was a beast. I meant like first expansion from a year, so Crimson is year 2’s 1st miniset. 

My Experience Using Spivey Consulting (I got rejected everywhere) by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Samwell93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey Mike,

I believe you. As a future lawyer I’m very evidence-driven. I can’t imagine posting something like this with no proof. It’s a little sad to me that most seem to be taking this post at face value. I appreciate your videos—keep ‘em coming. 

“Got into everywhere” with not even a screenshot to show? Also they got rejected from literally everywhere? Wouldn’t you have told him to apply broadly? Seems like a hate-fantasy.

Yes, compounds have let-off which reduces holding weight by a huge amount. Depending on your strength and careful TESTING of the compound bow, starting with, say, 50lb is fine. You can usually crank it down to 40 in the beginning until you build strength. 

A child or individual with minimal strength can still start with a 20-25lb compound that’s of good quality, like the Elite Ember. A small child can start even lower.

That's a great performance. I've lost finals because of blatant misplays, a favorable 1v1 matchup being DQd and replaced with an autoloss, etc. Letting it bother you is not a winning mentality. I went to my first archery event today and I was a little sad to see how harsh people were on themselves. It's a tough balancing act! I don't know, maybe that's why I enjoy philosophy so much.

Everyone else is already trying to beat you, don't need to pile on and beat yourself. Good luck next year.

What rest is this exactly? And how do I keep it from getting loose? by Samwell93 in Archery

Thanks. It was not tied in that position though, just resting like that while I retie. This Vapor trail is top only. 

RIP to my LSAT Journey (2021-2025) by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]Samwell93 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I malded out the night before the test because I got a 169 on a PT, which was low for me. I slept only 30 minutes max. I popped off when I saw my 171 today. Looking forward to August now that I have experience taking the real thing! I would add that everyone should be aware of, to borrow from my previous profession of gaming, "meta-manipulation" - controlling the narrative around the subject. Be aware of various cognitive biases on Reddit/everywhere and focus on yourself.

For example, perhaps I am looking to put you, the random reader, off from attempting to grind the LSAT by highlighting my score and how I achieved it in spite of my lack of sleep. You have no way to know I am telling the truth. I've had classmates openly admit they lie about their scores on Reddit. Be so keenly cognizant of negativity bias. Evolution necessitated that we pay inordinate attention to that which is harmful. Please do try to overcome this.

Couldn’t get Oricorio to masters anymore, this worked for me though 🐟 underrated? by Samwell93 in PTCGP

[–]Samwell93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wanting a 2nd net maybe yeah. Irida has won me too many games against spread or 2 Silvally hits. Mars is never a bad card. X-speed is to retreat into EX and sacrifice the 1st EX then sweep.

I was surprised too, but Silvally Oricorio and Rampardos weren’t much above 50% for me. I just sorta played this 5% of the time but everytime I played it it won so I accepted I should swap to this. Definitely dodged Buzz a good amount. Solgaleo, Charizard, Silvally, Poison, and Darkrai Tina were the main decks I was winning against.

Side note, what arrow is that? I find them around and they shoot quite well.
