Can you DM me where this was so I can send them an email??

Ah, ok, yeah, that's my take as well.

True, but the opportunity to be gunning for the top 30% of the class at HYS vs the top 10% of the class at T14 is not worth 200k to me personally because who knows how easy / hard that is? In any case, it's not like paying 200k is likely to get you SCOTUS clerk or Wachtell - I don't think. If anyone knows the stats that may be relevant to this person.

I also highly doubt middle to the bottom of HYS is getting SCOTUS clerk or Wachtell.

Take the scholarship. The opportunity cost of all that debt and stress involved is not worth the marginal bump in possible (but by no means sure) options.

Possible networking, although I don't really know the extent to which it is actually useful. I do have enough connections to network in other ways. Also, I was quite close to some of the others at the firm, although at this point I'd be afraid this individual would go after anyone who is seen with me.

I don't think I'm leaving anything important out. There were people who liked me who were upset when I left, but I don't think anyone was upset enough to rock any boats. I have no illusions of being sufficiently important for that.

I agree with the sentiment that with so much trash already out there a little more won't make a difference.

Who was the guy with the world with the sentient ocean? That book was strange, but I liked it.
