Opera goes to Penn Station in search of Rankings! Forum

[RVP11]

though the rankings were leaked here first, Critical Badger was the first blog / site to stick his neck out and claim they were legit, so i have no problem with him getting the credit..

But unless Critical Badger had some inside knowledge, it was probably just a wild guess. Just like a lot of posters on here. See: blind squirrel finding acorn.

I went to B&N in St Augustine Florida today and they werent out yet

opera, if you are in NYC this summer -- you get drinks on me!

Yeah, but he makes it seem like he got it from a "source"... That's a bit lame. Also, TLS got the confirmation & the complete rankings. So, props must go to OperaSoprano, Ken, Mandelbaum, and TLS as a whole!

Also, does anyone know if these issues are out anywhere else but the magical Hudson News by the LIRR at Penn Station?

credited....screen shot should lay claim to the crown

I'll chip in a drink or two, as well. But I'm not going to be in NYC...I'm sure PK can cover the extras.

Haha, Gilchrist is still at it, huh?

This is better than reality TV. I am really counting on those rankings being accurate as I posted that they are likely the real thing. So much stress, I really picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

Go Opera, Go!

This is hilarious coming from Ken! Thanks, Ken, for your support in this race!

[huckabees]

Mandelbaum, OperaSoprano, and geoanthem are pretty automatically top posters now, I guess.

Agreed. They should get special colors for their usernames, or descriptive accolades above their usernames.

To all those who offered to buy me drinks: thanks! I am abstaining from alcohol until the evening of June 8th, when I plan to drink myself into oblivion. I hope you will all come with me! There's an amazing bar called Bourgeois Pig, just a few blocks east of here.

I will be in NYC through July. If Fordham has not admitted me by then, I will have to leave my beloved city , but I might pop up in San Francisco or Boston. It all depends...

As always, thanks for making TLS such an epic win. If this site hadn't existed, I wouldn't be in at a pretty kick ass school that has unfortunately dropped six spots in the rankings, to #94. WTF, USNews? I want my $9.95 back.

USNWR may not give you back that money, but Ken certainly will

[huckabees]

Why is Yale's NY bar passage rate so low? And Stanford's Cali rate is really impressive.

Yale students too busy studying impractical theoretical BS?

Or 8% have zero work ethic.

I thought the NY Bar was supposed to be easy. UVA had 99% bar passage rate.

Wurtzel?

Yale's class is so small that ONE PERSON can still impact their passage rate at the decimal!

Keep up in the loop as the test (right?) approaches!

[Mr. Matlock]

I also wanted to stress that The Critical Badger (or whatever hell that guy's name is) didn't break anything first. As far as I can tell, the original scanned leak was put up on here first. I saved it to my computer before the OP killed the link. I then uploaded it to my Dropbox folder, and posted that as a new link. I saw that the Badger guy put up my Dropbox link (as well as did xoxo) and I changed it to a gif of Kermit screwing a stuffed rabbit. For quite a while, the Badger website had a link of Kermit fucking a rabbit (lol), obviously demonstrating that he was just using the later URL.

FWIW

To me, it will always be known as "The Helmholtz File".

[Veritas]

I love that the pics OS took are showing up all over the law school internet world. It's like knowing a celebrity, kind of, but not really-ish.

[Mr. Matlock]

Opera definitely deserves her $100 and is a living legend as well.

I think we can not worry about who was right or who was wrong on the rankings being legitimate. Myself, Gilchristh, and others could have been wrong but the coin toss went our way. So lets put any animosity behind us as it was a great night for all of TLS!

Ken, with the publicity you can spin from this, you might consider upping Opera's stipend just a tad.

I'm just happy that of all the other sites I could have been a part of, it appears I was successful in making TLS my choice. Hopefully this will steamroll me through my 2010 cycle.

I will, Mallard. I got a 169 on a preptest yesterday, which I know cannot touch your level of greatness, but should do me for the Fordham PT or Hastings waitlist if I can replicate it in June.

+1 very cool.

I think that will be more than sufficient, yeah. Feel free to PM me if there are any particular issues you're having.

True. We need more shoutouts for Helmholtz. I think the dude put up those first leaks like 20 times, as they kept being taken down and replaced with who knows what.

[flhealth]

i am not good with links...can somebody provide me with a link of the photos?

[SethD2767]

Is there a link to a scan or photo of the rankings? I've already seenthe photo of the front cover of the USNWR 2010; but I would like to see a photo of the details (e.g. 25/75 GapA and LSAT for schools and assessment scores). Anyone?
