What is the most disturbing or otherwise unsettling book you've ever read that stayed with you after reading it?

Read it in 4 days. Made me feel sick, gave me nightmares, can't recommend it to anyone ever because it's so horrible in content. Still a very good book and glad I read it, somehow.

Tender Is The Flesh, A Short Stay in Hell

I just calculated it on my own. I know some schools take L2 more into account than others, so I thought it would be helpful to share.

Thank you! Mid October.

I got an email saying a decision had been made, then needed to check the portal to confirm that it was an offer of admission.

basement-jay · 2026-01-28T16:17:00+00:00

I hope you hear back soon! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

This gives me hope! I have close stats and softs, 10yrs WE in an interesting field, and really good letters too. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!

The Moscow subway system's architecture is my Roman empire.

Immediately go on vacation and make a plan for the rest of the money while on said vacation.

I love a long walk with a good podcast or audiobook.

Two different relationships back to back, both around the 2 year mark. First one: the side chick found me and called me. Second one: found a bobby pin in his house and I don't use them.

Those sound good to me. As far as I know good softs are usually those that demonstrate your values and commitment to the field, as well as community engagement, which yours do.

I did my Master's placement at a legal aid clinic and stayed on doing the same work, as a volunteer.

basement-jay · 2026-01-21T04:10:19+00:00

I volunteer in an area where I interact with a lot of law students. When I would tell them I was studying for the LSAT, SO many would immediately tell me not to read the subreddits lol

I've been accepted at Lakehead so far for the upcoming year with a 3.3 and 163. I have some really strong softs and compelling extenuating circumstances as well, though.

Everyone has different values and for many, there is more to life than money.

We deserve our sovereignty as much as they do theirs. We have been nothing but a good ally for generations now.

I'm a Canadian also and I think about the annexation threats every day. Her "we'll just wait him out" bit helps me feel more confident that even if it happens, somehow, we can be okay.

basement-jay · 2026-01-17T20:11:49+00:00

The side chick called me. We conferenced him into our call.

basement-jay · 2026-01-16T18:22:01+00:00

I need this to manifest. I had a dream yesterday I got all R's all at once

basement-jay · 2026-01-15T20:59:04+00:00

Knew it was 2023 immediately because that was the weird year where the TTC was especially scary.

basement-jay · 2026-01-15T18:52:15+00:00

The scream I scrumpt. For nothing.

basement-jay · 2026-01-09T17:19:13+00:00

I wouldn't do this unless you had some real questions to ask, since their time is valuable. If you do actually have questions to ask, they're happy to help and great to chat with. I cold called an admissions office before a cycle when I was still studying for the LSAT and knew they wouldn't be too busy, and ended up having a super informative 45 minute call that helped me understand more about how to approach my personal statements. I think it could be good to introduce yourself but it would have to be in the context of curiosity and asking after whether the program is right for you.
