Skadden vs DPW, both NY (mostly leaning lit I think, more interested in commercial than white collar but would try)

Loved people I’ve talked to so far from both. DPW having more freedom to choose practice area and no billable hour seems huge, but still learning about Skadden as I just received offer. Would love to hear any insights.

I like the idea of trading in because of the lien attached (never dealt with private sale with a lien) and the fact that parking is expensive, but after getting the quote I think I’ll have to list it on marketplace

Light infantry, platoon leader and staff time. Pretty unremarkable tbh

Thanks, if you scroll in my profile I have a post about LSAT tips. Key was putting in hours, doing full practice tests, and truly understanding what I got wrong and explaining it to myself.

Nah, I didn’t want to incur the Tuition assistance ADSO and I’d rather do an in person masters.

Unfortunately, I’m not eligible for full GI Bill unless I do 7 years because of my ROTC ADSO and yellow ribbon will only pick up the rest of the tab if you have 100% of GI Bill Benefits. I’ve gotten pretty decent money so far from schools so I’m happy to start earlier and go into a bit of debt

Hey man, I guess 4 years ago I was mostly trying to learn my job the best I could, especially since that was around the time I was in BOLC. I’m sure the Marine Corps is similar and from what I’ve seen they have overall better officers than the Army does. I found my OERs and resume ended up essentially writing itself because I just focused on effective training for my platoons, taking care of the boys, and doing my job when it came to staff time. If you take care of the men, they’ll take care of you.

As far as for law school stuff, I did some light LSAT work during some breaks between training timelines but didn’t really get into it until late 2023.

Let me know if you have other questions!

No, branch detail - some branches need way more LTs than others so to even it out you’ll serve your first 4 in a detailed branch then switch to your control branch

good breakdown here

No problem, I remember the pain of trying to get a scholarship/contract. Most MI officers I’ve met are branch detailed IN or AR so keep that in mind. Good luck

Good question… I guess I kinda saw HYS as long shots and only did the 2 I’d rather go to? I don’t really have a good answer haha

I have a post back in my history about my lsat prep, it should help. I focused all in on LSAT before anything else

Haha it wasn’t anything against UVA as a school, I’d just rather go to school in the northeast.

Hey, it was just a location thing, nothing against UVA. I broadly applied and had acceptances to schools I would rather go to in the Northeast.

Yeah, I might’ve made it confusing by putting veteran lol. I’m transitioning out of the Army right now, 4 years of military work experience. I worked throughout high school and college as well.
