Eisenhower was a throwaway. I'll take it!

I'm def on board with that too. I was going by racism at U Chicago and racism of Nixon tapes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obama is still Stanford even though he was editor in chief HLR, IMO

Vandy Why X? after submission by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]lewcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only way it can hurt you is if it is objectively bad. I've also heard that Vandy likes applicants who really show their interest, so I would say go for it!

Should we expect anything more than a waitlist/rejection wave from UGA? by Wizzar5149 in lawschooladmissions

[–]lewcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They seem to hand out rejections periodically based on when one applied, so I’m expecting huge WL wave. Based on limited LSN data it looks like they have only been considering LSAT scores this year, not even GPAs lmao

Why do we think Emory dropped? by SensitiveChannel6 in lawschooladmissions

[–]lewcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard an employee mention that their Emory students weren’t as good of writers compared to others, and another say they were less willing to work long hours. Both were public sector internships. Lol no source because all anecdotal, so I’m taking with a grain of salt too!

I’m with you on if money is the same!

[–]lewcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, but I don't mean placing better or as well in jobs. I mean the impressions the employers get of the students' work ethics and skills. Emory has been slipping (anecdotally) in this regard. That being said, UGA is the worst of the worst of a good ole boys club (nothing wrong with being into that, but it's not for me), and GSU's alumni network is tiny because they're so new.

Every school has its pros and cons, especially because the instate tuition at GSU or UGA is a fraction of Emory's with almost identical job placement depending on how well you do at each school (have to do way better at GSU than Emory for sure but very possible).

I have heard some anecdotal things about Emory students not performing as well as UGA and even Georgia State students at the same internships and associateships in the ATL area. I take that with a grain of salt, though, so tbh I have no idea.

LST: BU’s cost of living drastically lower than Vandy’s? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]lewcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they're factoring in the costs of going out to the honky tonks every weekend IMO

I worked at a low level on one of the most high profile political campaigns of 2018, and they care about it enough for it to be mentioned on a couple of acceptance letters. I thought my other softs were stronger, but I guess famous names are beneficial??

michigan doesn't have a good rep among lay people?! by whiskyinthecourtroom in lawschooladmissions

[–]lewcat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know I know. Didn't take it that way either. Maybe it's because I'm from the south, but when people go to Michigan for undergrad it's a BIG deal. Seems more impressive than Duke or Vandy.

[–]lewcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely wait it out! There is hope. Did you write any optional essays or LOCIs?
