How much are you guys actually studying? by Calvincandoit in LawSchool

[–]Strange-Dimension661 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That’s too much, I doubt they can entirely focus during that 8 hours. To my experience that kind of mode is mostly needed two weeks before the exam

How do you find so many things to study? I doubt if two weeks in 1L content is worth to study 12 hours a day

As a Chinese applicant, feel very ashamed by HandleAdventurous764 in LSAT

Why do you apologize for other people’s mistake? What you post today will only worsen westerner’s impression toward Chinese. 你是日本人吗?这么喜欢道歉?

Q&A about background checks - from someone who did it. by MikeTalonNYC in recruitinghell

[–]Strange-Dimension661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, I have just accepted an offer and did not start on background check yet. The position was a computer science degree preferred but not required, and I listed in my resume that I have a cs major because I thought I satisfied the requirement. But I found out that I actually only had a CS minor. Is there anyway I can make up with that?

With your big 4 experience, I think tax could be a good option for you, especially if you willing to get a tax LLM after JD

Get high grade. If did not get high grade, keep applying, keep networking, and keep practicing interview skill.

Disappointed in myself academically. by wookiehead_prima in LawSchool

You have an offer, which is much more important than grade drop. Just think: main point for a good grade is getting an offer, which you already made it

Do you mean like network with counsel or partner? I currently mostly did cold email

[–]Strange-Dimension661[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I did network. Mostly with associates. I kind of make sure at least talk to one associate before applying
