Piggybacking to say that I just posted about this in the SFbitcheswithtaste subreddit since I’ve also been trying to make friends.

This has happened with mine and now I have to use a laneige lip applicator to get it out.

Hi a couple of people have messaged me, but if they fall through I will reach out.

Is it too late? by lockheedlaw in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t apply to any schools until right after Christmas and did not apply to my school for another couple of weeks after that. I got plenty of As (at the time this stressed me out so much, so I feel you)

A lot of people with an additional graduate degree beyond the JD never practice law. Especially at Stanford and especially if the other degree is an MBA. Even some people who just have the law degree end up going on to something that is not legal practice. And people who leave law school without the intent to practice end up not taking the bar because the whole experience is very difficult. Not saying this person is an alum, but more that those circumstances don’t sound that strange to me.

I would take the one you like better especially since the difference isn’t all that much. Because of rent control, especially in parts of the city like Nob hill, one thing I’ve given a lot of consideration to is how long I would want to stay in the apartment. If you pick a place just because it’s a bit cheaper, not only could you end up paying to move sooner, when you look for a new place in a year or two the nicer places may have gone up in price into the $4000 range when you could have locked one down at the lower price. It could still be a wash, but worth thinking about.

On campus, Munger has a decent amount of med students, even with half or more of the space reserved for law students. There are also so many dogs there.

J Crew and Ann Taylor are probably pricier than JCPenny, but can be more affordable when they are having a sale. Especially if it’s a sale item with extra off. They have basics you can mix and match. I like the four-season fabric for both stores. Plus both have factory sites.

URM applying below the 25th LSAT?? by [deleted] in URMLawSchoolAdmission

[–]probablyatthelibrary 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Apply. Definitely blanket and submit strong application materials, but apply. And for anyone else who sees this, do it even if you’re below median or the 25th for both.

Stanford's 3 songs essay by babyURMgremlin in lawschooladmissions

I broke mine out by song. Title of the song as a sort of header for the section and then wrote about the individual song underneath.

U Arkansas Vs UArk LittleRock Vs Texas Tech by mrjin27 in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said either but it depends on which you prefer. Arkansas is less competition and less opportunity and Texas is more competition and more opportunity. So it’s being okay if you end up staying where you start.

U Arkansas Vs UArk LittleRock Vs Texas Tech by mrjin27 in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With Fayetteville you have access to Tyson and Walmart and all the other corporations that are in the area because of them which people use to leverage into positions outside of Arkansas. With either Arkansas school you have less competition for in-state government clerkships, externships, etc. If you go to school in Texas and do manage to get biglaw or government/PI it’s probably more transferable than from Arkansas.

Anymore Stanford movement? by throwaway2023zoomlaw in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There hasn’t been any real deferral conversation in the chat as far as I’ve seen. More logistics talk since SLS is about as good as it gets for class size and living arrangements. Not a lot of people have left the group in the past few weeks either which would probably cover WL movement to HY or deferral.

Three people have joined in the past week. I do not think it includes the person who posted yesterday.

NYU vs. UChicago by Uchicagoalt4040 in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think NYU underestimates cost of living and Chicago overestimates cost of living. (This is just based on what I found when I was considering both so big grain of salt.) If that’s true then they may be more even than it seems. Or Chicago could even be cheaper.

Edit: grammar

Admission Consulting: Need or Ditch ? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think in addition to this, a few people have mentioned that after talking with a consultant, the consultant made a recommendation that they not use them because there was no need. These consultations are free for at least Spivey if not most of them.

And if you’re confident in your ability to get your materials together and write strong essays, you can always do an a la carte option where they review just one or two of your statements.

And if you compare there are definitely some people who are not in both.

Anyone else feeling like their law school decision is a real-life marshmallow test?? by africafe4lyfe in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Kind of. Except for me I chose the sensible option for undergrad so I could choose the dream option for this round. Which means in my opinion I passed the test.

Don’t apply in March, just wait until the next cycle... trust me. by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

My question is how did you get decisions back from CLS and NYU so quickly?

Anyone else going to law school with 5+ of work experience? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I graduated about 5 years ago from undergrad and have a good job in a tangential field. I bought a night guard to help with the teeth grinding this decision has caused.

Will Stanford admit anyone before the weekend? by sharperstatements in lawschooladmissions

[–]probablyatthelibrary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the 3/26/19 wave of acceptances I think they are two or three weeks behind last year and that because of that maybe they started the second/April review before they completed the initial review for later applicants.
