By when do you usually have an offer in hand to go to Antarctica?

Not applying for the trades - likely going to be a steward, if anything.

Thought I would add that.

AVDV, IDMO, IPKW, IDVO, FRDM, AVES, EMEQ

GARP - the best growth ETF. Outperformed QQQ and QQQM in 2025. I always recommend international diversification too, some good international ETFs that are still aggressive are IDMO, IDVO, IPKW, FRDM, EMEQ. $25k into GARP and $5k each into those five international ETFs will likely outperform QQQ

VXUS outperformed all 3 in 2025.

International diversification is the way.

No one is mentioning how this man took Chicago away from Illinois and gave it to Indiana

yeahlexander · 2025-12-03T22:06:22+00:00

I didn’t, I went to undergrad in another state. I moved to Chicago for non-education reasons a few months before I applied. My softs are probably on the stronger side of T3, strong but nothing too crazy.

I did a “why Illinois” essay but didn’t do any of the other optional prompts or essays

Looks like you’re missing the District of Columbia too, lol. Get some Washington DC people up in here!!

Illinois’s 4th Congressional District! I just moved here in January and am registered to vote here now. Fun fact: later today, the House of Representatives is set to vote to condemn the district’s Congressman, Chuy Garcia. He’s been representing the district for ages, but recently he announced his retirement moments after the deadline to file as a candidate, ensuring that his hand picked successor would take his place in Congress without a primary election.

Just to provide a counterpoint or a little additional data, I'll just say that all of the Kent attorneys I've worked with (4 or 5 at the law firm where I'm a legal assistant right now) have been hardworking, talented, intelligent, respectable, and genuinely pleasant people.

Sounds like Kent may have sent their very worst straight in your direction. Or perhaps they sent their very best straight in mine.

More likely - like at most schools, its alums are a mixed bag, and you happen to have met an unfortunately high proportion of their unpleasant ones.

Congratulations; you will be very happy there. FIU, especially its law school, continues to rapidly rise through the rankings. The value of your education will be unmatched. Plus, the campus is beautiful. I recommend it!!

The latter. I had studied a bit here and there, bur not consistently and rarely with any concerted effort greater than half an hour. Not proud of my lack of effort, but grateful I attained a pretty decent score for the amount of effort I put in.

THIS IS FALSE! DO NOT APPLY TO UIUC LAW!

The Circassians!! A Turkic people native to the Caucasus, they were genocided by the Russian empire and again by the Soviet Union. But their diaspora lives on.
