Do PI-oriented students ever feel at a disadvantage being in Cambridge/Boston as opposed to bigger PI hubs like DC or NYC? I certainly haven't. Between the SPOs and the clinics, there is plenty of PI work to do here. The thing about PI is no matter where you are, there are going to be people that n...

There are also more journals I am interested in at Harvard--but of course, also way more competition to write on to journals I would imagine Not that I necessarily think this should be a huge factor in your decision making, but FYI the only journal that requires writing on at HLS is the Law Review....

Or do you mean to literally include headings and subheadings in the answer itself? Not TSL, but I would assume they mean actually using headings and subheadings. (Which isn't to say that you shouldn't also outline the answer before writing -- I don't, but I know many do -- just that this particular...

is it hard to get into clinics? I understand the most people do not do off-campus internships during the semester, but do many PI-oriented people do clinics instead?
