April works fine for the extremely narrow purpose of trying to get off of waitlists, but if you've made it to that point then you should be seriously contemplating re-applying next cycle, in which case the meaningful difference between April/June/whatever is whether you're prepared to do as well as ...

Yeah, the academy is annoyingly paywalled like that: it's a lot easier to participate as an active student/professor.

idk if there was a different thread for different school's LRAPs but UChicago mildly improved theirs this year! Yeah, looks like it's still positive-amortized (which makes it a little less awesome that clerkships and fellowships are covered) but in all other respects it seems comparable to the rest...

Your concern about work email brings something else worth considering to mind: if you produce IP for a living, like most programmers, you might have issues with your employer if you publish original research on your own that draws on things you learned on the job. Engineers run into this frequently ...

After a year at Georgetown, Hunter transferred to Yale Law, where he completed his degree, in 1996. regarding biden's son, was it based on his law school performance or could it be influence? There's definitely a "your dad's a senator" bump at elite law schools, but if it were dispositive then Hunt...

Legitimately can't tell if this is spam lol

Call Quicken?

Agree broadly with Nony. There's a bit of a catch-22 here in that a most law professors won't understand or care much about X topic (be it cybersecurity, or Brazilian politics, or linguistics, etc.), and the ones that do care will tend to have terminal degrees (or close) in that topic and don't need...

It really is genius: admit a bunch of people with political connections and then take credit for their later involvement in politics. Harvard College runs the same grift.

My pet theory is that OP snubbed H to stick it to his parents who really wanted him to go there (hence repeated emphasis on "twisted" and "immoral")

OP is the parents!

Upon exit from the Army I landed full time work at a high salary so giving up my income is not an option while attending.

1. My goal is to be a public defender. Always been my dream job. Willing to take major paycut to make it happen.

Genuinely confused

My fan theory is that OP picked Chicago over Harvard for the better per-capita clerkship numbers and especially the supposed conservative-judge pipeline that produces those higher numbers. I can see why a 2L looking back might find that immoral. Maybe OP fell in with these people: https://www.inside...

Eh. It's more like if you're buying the Mercedes anyway, do you need the tricked out top-of-the-line model or will a lower-end model do?

perhaps this is what OP meant by "palpably" better - leather seats in a car that drives and looks the same

C'mon we all know it's Columbia.

any reason why people here think it's col? confused on what makes it different or worse than other CN in ccn?

Still think it's Chicago personally

So I need some advice. I am scheduled to take the December LSAT wasnt ready for September and my application is pretty much done minus my LSAT score. Do you think this will hurt my chances or turning in my application early January will be ok? Im not sure how the ED program will affect my chances t...

hello adcoms, with the new lifetime and 5-yr retake limits, do you think there is a chance that this may change soon or in foreseeable future to revert to more or even unlimited retakes? Highly unlikely IMO - they've created a lot of uncertainty already by changing the rules as much as they have, a...

I wouldn't stress too much about writing an "excellent" personal statement - you don't have a ton of control over how it's going to be perceived at the end of the day and people disagree wildly about what separates the B+ PSs from the A+ ones. I literally have work experience, and obvious determinat...

If you're concerned about getting into a T14, then either getting some post-grad work experience or retaking the LSAT would make a much bigger difference than applying ED. The former could also help with the job search later, depending on what you do. The evidence for ED improving admission chances ...

What I'm referring to has not hit the news... As a result of what's been happening on campus, students have been put in secret disciplinary hearings, expelled and/or have been fired from their jobs this past year. If you are impacted, or directly involved in these incidents, or otherwise close to t...

This isn't bad in terms of what you're actually saying but I'd cut down on the purple prose. Aside from the literary references and thesaurus-mining, it feels like every paragraph is saddled with its own mini-conclusion. IMO, you'd be better off letting the story find its own legs and then tying thi...

they implemented some new rules limiting LSAT retakes. spivey covers it here: Great link, very interesting! Also noticed something about 40 schools now accepting GRE's? I just spotted at least 3 of my target schools on that list. Should I consider taking the GRE instead of the LSAT? Silly question,...

LSAT is digital now and we're not quite sure yet what the implications are. Pretty much the same tbh. Thanks! And does our study prep change because of this? I mean, how do we practice electronically, instead of scantrons? Thanks! Wish I could help you there. Everyone I know who is studying for the...

Pretty much the same tbh.

Mine is fucking awful. It's a sham and a farce [...] It is a school that absolutely does not give a shit about its students and does everything in the worst way possible. If you're unreasonable enough to think this about any of Columbia/Chicago/NYU then it might comfort you to know you would've fel...

Why did you come to regret going to the CCN?

I first came to regret this decision in January or February of this year,

"Don't restate your resume in your PS" means don't blandly recount your achievements like a CEO's website bio or an author's bookflap bio. Of course it's possible to write a compelling statement about, for example, the student clubs you founded during college.
