Re: Dear Chicago 0Ls, don't be misguided by losers
And this is where I stopped reading.ccamicus wrote:First of all, students choose law schools for their value, not for easy exams. If you have two choices, school A offers better education but with a harder grading curve, school B offers an easier grading curve but worse education, are you going to choose school B over A? I believe most people will choose A. So, make a rational choice: grading policy has no effect on a school's educational value. University of Chicago Law School is known for its intellectual vigor and great legal thoughts. I can protest that you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for proofreading. Let me know if there are more typos.

Re: Dear Chicago 0Ls, don't be misguided by losers
This is poorly reasoned and poorly written. Good job.
Also, lol at "don't be misguided by losers". WTF does that even mean?

Re: Dear Chicago 0Ls, don't be misled by losers
No offense broseph, but that was a train wreck of a post. If your post reflects your actual writing ability, and if your writing ability reflects your potential for success in lawl school, then I predict you are either in the bottom of your class or a total flame.

When people say they struck out at OCI when they really shouldn't have I think maybe they write/speak like this guy.

Re: Dear Chicago 0Ls, don't be misled by losers
Well, I don't care what you say about my writing. I am in the bottom 1/3 and I did get an offer. But those are irrelevant. I like this school and want people to have the correct information.Sandro wrote:When people say they struck out at OCI when they really shouldn't have I think maybe they write/speak like this guy.

Re: Dear Chicago 0Ls, don't be misled by losers
I honestly am happy for you. And I think you probably have some very good points, but I couldnt get past the first couple sentences. Just FYI your message might get through to more people if it was a little more organized.ccamicus wrote:Well, I don't care what you say about my writing.

Re: Dear Chicago 0Ls, don't be misled by losers
Actually, smart and pragmatic people would go with B - especially considering that law school teaches you very little about the actual practice of law. You also ignore the reality that harsh/strict curve means more competitive classmates - that may have devastating effects on people's educational experience.ccamicus wrote:If you have two choices, school A offers better education but with a harder grading curve, school B offers an easier grading curve but worse education, are you going to choose school B over A? I believe most people will choose A.
Besides, a 4.0 always looks better than a 3.0, regardless of the curve.

This post further cemented my opinion of Chicago Law School and its students even though it was probably intended to do the opposite.

Is posting the FOB text in response to a meaningless wall of text still a bannable offense?

Re: Dear Chicago 0Ls, don't be misled by losers
I have no opinion on UChi's curve. I, like most others around these parts, regard UChi highly.
That said, you're embarrassing your school (if you are, indeed, a student at UChi). Defensive, poorly written rants play so well on the interwebz.
