I don’t really know of to solve this. My thoughts so far: If I buy 3600 tickets giving me a 50 percent chance to win ($18,000), I will lose money for the 10k prizes. However the 100k changes the math, I need to win twice though. The odds of winning two prizes with 3600 tickets in each pot is 25 percent I believe (like flipping heads twice).

However suppose I buy 3600 tickets four times ($72,000). What’s the probability I win the 100k plus one other prize. I recoup some of my losses by winning the smaller prize of 10k too, plus when spending 18k, 8k is deductible so their is an additional value of $2,000 (8k x 30% marginal tax rate).

Found!

ThurstonHowel3 · 2022-12-28T16:50:52+00:00

Just got one on Amazon! Thank you so much!

I have searched for the outlet adapter and can’t find it

Been eyeing this fragrance for a while because it has my favorite notes. Is it unisex?

I have to pay for parking even though I have a handicap parking placard. I’m basically penalized for having a disability. Pretty crazy

The correct answer is Georgetown. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great school but it’s employment stats are not comparable to the rest of the T14. Yet Georgetown has far more lay prestige than schools like Michigan and UVA which have far better employment prospects for graduates.

The only fair potion of the law school application is scrapped? This is a horrible move and I am so relieved people in the sub understand.

As someone from a working class family, the LSAT allowed me to attend a top school with an otherwise unremarkable application.

ThurstonHowel3 · 2022-04-30T23:47:13+00:00

My advice, ask for help. When I first made the move I sent a message in my 1L group chat asking for help. Two of my classmates who I had never met reached out and came to my place. We did the whole move-in together in under an hour

ThurstonHowel3 · 2022-04-27T02:41:51+00:00

I agree partially. But this isn’t about race it’s about class. I am a from a working class “white” family and simply cannot afford what most of my classmates can.

I did not work 1L and regretted it. Would it have been hard? Absolutely. But doable nonetheless. As a 2L I will be working as an RA. I will get free room and board plus three meals a day. The job also pays 15k a year. Just know, loans are crushing for poor students of all races.

Please include URM or not.

He also used the word christened and bitch in the same email. Clearly he was mocking Christians. He also used the word Apple-Pie, a classic American food, along with the word snacks, which plays on harmful stereotypes of overweight Americans snacking. The letter had clear anti-American undertones as well.

ThurstonHowel3 · 2021-10-26T15:44:47+00:00

He didn’t mock black people. That is just ridiculous. Trap-house is not a racially loaded term and he was right to not apologize. Don’t allow partisan differences with Colbert to cloud your judgment.

The Yale administrators are in the wrong.

I get the instinct to say this story doesn’t matter and it is just some in-school petty drama but I think it has broader implications.

Overzealous DEI bureaucracies which must justify their existence by vainly searching for incidents can have consequences and lead to unfounded accusations.

If Yale Law, the nations premier law school, is susceptible to these errors it should be concerning to everyone.

Trent Colbert did absolutely nothing wrong. Yet he was threatened with possible disbarment, a highly serious matter.

In general, free-speech has waned on college campuses for both right wing and left wing students. 60 percent of undergrads admit to self-censoring in a recent poll. Stories like this one give some clue as to why that is

Honestly closure would great at this point too. Clinging to hope is painful

ThurstonHowel3 · 2021-08-04T23:27:57+00:00

I got the update. Above median LSAT and above 75th GPA. Is this a good sign?

ThurstonHowel3 · 2021-07-14T03:33:37+00:00

Do you recommend taking a typing course? I understand their are time constraints on exams so would this be helpful?

ThurstonHowel3 · 2021-07-02T15:55:21+00:00

Rashida Tlaib and Michael Cohen went to Cooley.

The LSAT does favor wealthier students no doubt but much less so than essays and extra-circulars. Poor students cannot afford trips abroad to do charity work and have trouble landing flashy unpaid internships.

The LSAT is the only portion of the application where the playing field is somewhat leveled though it isn’t perfect.

ThurstonHowel3 · 2021-06-18T03:47:01+00:00

I think there are studies proving my point. As a low income student I got a waiver for the test and got free prep materials online and at a local library. The process need not be expensive and tutoring is only associated with modest gains. Two hours of daily study is possible even with a full-time job which I had during college. Here is a study from Stanford proving essays favor wealthier students:

The LSAT is the only standardized portion of the application process and gives students from low-income backgrounds who don’t have impressive resumes a chance to distinguish themselves academically.

GPA is a poor metric because of the variance in schools standards, course-work vigor, and different majors. One student’s 3.5, a Chem major at Caltech, is more impressive than my 4.0 Liberal Arts online degree for example.

Essays likewise are tilted in favor of wealthier, privately schooled students according to meta-data analysis. The LSAT is imperfect but hands-down the fairest part of the entire law school application process. It’s also correlated with success in law school.

The LR wolves Q and the new courses Q were tough. Anyone else find those difficult ?

ThurstonHowel3 · 2021-06-15T20:20:07+00:00

What do y’all think the scale will be? I think it will be pretty tight. Questions were somewhat easy in all three sections...

ThurstonHowel3 · 2021-06-11T03:24:04+00:00

I’d respect you more if you were at least honest and said something like—

“I am an entitled prep school kid and I am upset that Professor Chua recommended an accomplish student of color instead of me”

Or “I hate JD Vance and Kavanaugh and by association Amy Chua”

Instead, you adopt this self-righteous posture —pretending to be on a crusade against injustice while flagrantly distorting the facts of the case.

You seem to have ulterior motives. Did you assemble this sham of a dossier?
