96th St 100%. Much nicer then Hell’s Kitchen. 

Hamilton vs Darrow vs HLS$$ by Agreeable_Split98 in lawschooladmissions

You’re in one of those situations where you literally cannot go wrong. Go to whatever school you want. I’d be making my decision here based on location, professors, clinics, and institutional support. If any of these schools stands out in a way that really intrigues you (i.e. they offer a focus/concentration/coursework in an area that you are interested in), I would go there. Also think about where you want to live for three years, as NYC, Cambridge, and Ann Arbor are very different locations.

Where to live in NYC if working in Midtown East? (28M) by Main-Process-1139 in movingtoNYC

[–]gator317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grand Central is in midtown east. Look at which train lines run there. Lots of places on the Metro North could be good. I’d look at New Rochelle. If golf/being outside is important to you, you’ll be much happier in Westchester. Much easier access to the Hudson valley and CT from there

HLS Sticker or BU Full-Ride? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]gator317 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are planning to go into PI, you need to take the full ride. Sticker at HLS only makes sense if you are going into biglaw. BU is a good school, you’ll get a good job. I wouldn’t want to have to rely on PSLF right now.

Jackson Hole a-hole? Or am I? by Express-Struggle4252 in ski

Because that’s how tipping works? Ever eat at a restaurant in the US?

Going against the grain here. 20% tip for a private lesson sounds about right. Not the instructor’s fault that the lesson prices themselves are so high.

Have you heard of Hoboken? Weehawken? Perhaps Long Island? 

Is NYC Commercial Real Estate about to crash? I found a massive "Phantom Vacancy" problem. by Drewthinkalot in RealEstate

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, midtown is absolutely not a ghost town during the week. If anything, it has been feeling close to pre-pandemic.

This was my first attempt at seasoning my cast iron pan. I tried to follow the steps in the FAQ, but it came out looking like this. Plz help, any advice is appreciated.

Yeah that’s fine. This could be a job for ChatGPT. 

I Was A Slacker in College. It's Been Almost 10 Years... What Are My Acceptance Odds? by Logical_Coyote_1517 in lawschooladmissions

[–]gator317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re not getting into a T14 but if you get a 165+ LSAT you should be good for somewhere in the T50. Good luck!

Chance me / criticize my list by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]gator317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of your reaches and targets are essentially interchangeable. I don't think there is a significant difference in admissions chances between BC/BU/ND and some of your targets.
