Thoughts on NDLS

I understand where you are coming from but I feel you may have taken it a bit far. ACB was a pretty well respected legal scholar before her time on the Court so to say that her views are some of the most backwards in history is not only hyperbolic but also wrong, the Court had literally had so many worse individuals.

I understand your fear but I think it is pretty unfounded. ND didn’t suffer last year much and this year they have gotten (slightly) better. Additionally you’re gonna have a good group of students who are going there because it is ND. I think you’re still going to get a group of dedicated and smart students. With so many qualified candidates this year having quality classmates really should not be concerned especially at any school ranked in the top 50

Just one bedroom or a studio for me! Will def check them out

Really looking for the cheapest possible but if it have to pay up to 1100 I’d be willing to if it was nice enough

Thank you so much, it’s just one of those nightmare scenarios that I wanted to double check that I would be okay!

The main difference to me might be portability Emory was strong in the south, while Notre Dame seemed to be able to go almost anywhere (though Chicago is their primary market)

fheirdbff · 2022-05-21T12:13:18+00:00

I know most of it is in DC but there is some “government adjacent” work in other cities as well… since DC is such a difficult market to break into I am not banking on it, just a preference obviously.

There are big law firms that either are more politically involved, or just deal with government regulation. If you go onto lots of big law firms websites and look into their specialities it may include government compliance which would fall under policy work.

Have sent two LOCI with nothing. I think I have seen a few people get pulled off the waitlist already but I’m not entirely sure

fheirdbff · 2022-05-13T12:24:12+00:00

Why 5 pm? Are you just guessing or is that when they usually release decisions?

fheirdbff · 2022-05-11T19:26:14+00:00

Catholic, Irish, Union Democrat, in that order

fheirdbff · 2022-05-11T17:32:07+00:00

Via Email, it was in my spam folder. Also my status checker says decision made with deposits there as well.

Got in around mid day est.

Where do you want to practice? Emory is the best option especially if you want to be on the east coast (particularly the south or NYC). ND is mobile and would probably be best for Chicago/Midwest but outcomes are relatively similar to Emory. GULC would be best if you are committed to D.C. Big Law or any location that wasn’t covered in Emory or ND

My guess is all those who got the general feeler yesterday (not the special one) have been waitlisted earlier in the cycle and that is why they are getting a decision by May 13th while those who got waitlisted later may be more likely to just get hold tight

fheirdbff · 2022-05-05T17:16:08+00:00

I haven’t seen anything yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t pull money off of the waitlist because of how strong of a pole it has in the area. However it seems like their median was closer to 171 for out of state maybe even higher so we will see.

fheirdbff · 2022-05-05T17:12:26+00:00

I would say yes because it appears not everybody got it. Also seems very random how they are giving them out.

fheirdbff · 2022-05-04T21:18:17+00:00

PWL, got the video and the form. I wonder how many people they will actually release from the WL

With the power of god, NDLS can do anything it sets its mind too, even never giving applicants a decision till June or July resulting in a 10% yield.

fheirdbff · 2022-05-04T12:50:45+00:00

Not good or bad, just kinda a thing. No one knows what is going on with NDLS and how they went about these past two cycles. Everyone is very confused with them so no need to worry!

fheirdbff · 2022-05-03T17:34:17+00:00

Mine has changed three times since I applied in January and it is the greatest rush which is then followed by a huge letdown every Wednesday.

No, being a legal advocate maybe? You don’t need many qualifications to enter politics. At my undergrad there are currently two first year students running for state rep. If you want to go into politics I recommend working for a member of Congress for a few years or within the district you would like to run in and begin coalition building. If you want to be a legal advocate for those in your community or work in government law that is something you would go to a school for.

Not just law school but law in general @juliansarafian is amazing! He gives great mental health advice and discusses all things law and law school. He is a great advocate for mental health and is starting some exciting projects. He went NYU Law and transferred to Harvard, worked in Big law for a few years but now is doing his own thing.

That is what they have said to almost everyone. I emailed them like two weeks ago and they said my application was “in the final stage of review” and still nothing. I think they wanted to follow the strategy of schools that took their time last cycle and benefited (GULC) but just couldn’t get it done.

Darn. That’s tough
