LOL, Cornelie's a smart kid, and a better student than I ever was. In case it isn't obvious, I would give anything to have it to do over again. I envy the Fordham freshman all his possibilities, and wish him much joy and luck.

Oh ye of 24.6 posts... Rayiner tends to contribute in a big way to these boards... In short... Don't be a dick.

Double standard for 'dick' based on tenure? What is this, a dissertation panel?

Nope... Attacking grammar is almost always pathetic and sad. Its up there with spelling errors. Rayiner post a lot of useful stuff on here. That was the extent of the point of my post. Feel free to delete the portion about the number of posts if you like. the substance of my comment I stand by.

Yeah, foregoing the temptation to insult you, I must say I wish I had of known just how important numbers were. I had a good GPA (3.74) but I could have easily raised that by just being less careless. My GPA was good because I hated handing in substandard work. I didn't always worry about perfect attendance and didn't avoid classes with notoriously stingy professors and the like.

If you want to go to law school do a softish major and take easy classes within it, and just don't slip up. There is no reason you can't get above a 3.9 easily at Fordham doing this. It may hurt your education massaging your GPA like this, but you can read on your own time if you want to learn anything.

Also, be less gay.

Additionally, Ray here is a decent and contributing member of the TLS society who spent his undergrad time as an engineer and did useful things with his time. Beyond grammar and sarcasm, what have you contributed to society recently?

Gay = not the insult you were going for. Seriously, why does this subtle homophobia persist?

I also speak in favor of Ray. I got to meet him! If he hadn't slacked in UG (by his own admission), he'd be pwning all our asses at Yale.

I'm with you about grammar nazism, my concern was that rayiner's first post wasn't very helpful and the person who responded was correct on that count, after their exhibition of grammar nazism. I agree that rayiner is often helpful, it's just that in this instance I don't believe rayiner's post was worthy of a defense, and I admittedly have a personal bias against the use of the 'rank' ad hominem.

Silly digression though, just felt like 'splainin myself. Move on, thread. I think you can, I think you can.

Well, thanks for the defense, lol.

That being said, my post was, if glib, still helpful. OP expressed interest in the schools with the best job placement. His list is nowhere near being correct for that. Job placement goes by and large by USNews rank through the T14, then by size of local market in the T30.

Nope, it was exactly what I was going for. One word to describe thinking that is a lot like yours in many posts: crafted by someone almost childlike and indefinably sickening.

Everyone knows that word has uses that have nothing to do with gays. Have you moved to New York yet?

Wait, what? Now I'm just confused.

And for the record, I was not attacking you, just questioning your use of the word gay in a derogatory fashion. OP's post was unconventional in content, but we've probably all been where he is now.

I've been here in New York for four years, and hope to stay on for many more.

Oops I just edited it after misfiring on the submit button. I'm saying the use of gay as a pejorative is totally accepted as not having anything to do with gay people. My gay friends agree. This is the case in New York City where the gay community is, as you know, is highly visible.

Some of my gay friends do use it themselves, but others are bothered by this use of the word. I don't know the OP (Fordham is a big place, lol) but I hope TLS will give him some good advice. OP's goals might be unusual, but his head is in the right place. This is more than I can say for my own UG career. I lacked direction for many years, and when I finally found it, it was all but too late.
