i am at wits end about where to go-HLS, YALE, NYU?? Forum

[fatduck]

well with that 2.9 you don't have to worry about that.

my only possible retort would get me banned, so you win. still down to fight, though.

Like I said violence isn't a good way to resolve things plus me being a combat vet, certified unarmed combat trainer, and about 6'2 235, I don't feel like going to jail anytime soon. That might get my Harvard acceptance revoked then I'd be stuck in a midwest crap school (kinda like the one you'll end up at).

actually i'm going to gwu at sticker, because my dad's a billionaire.

combat vet sounds scary, though. did you work with pit bulls?

[ShuckingNotJiving]

at the end of the day there are as many reasons to defend OP as there are to lambaste her. but, we also have to realize that she has very shrewdly opened up a discussion wholly revolving around her dilemma as well as received the answers (and empirical evidence!) she was searching for. and while we sit her and discuss her intention and apparently challenge each other to e-fights, she's probably doing the things that got her into this position in the first place (IE steadfastly pursuing things relevant to advancing her self-interest).

Thank you uncommon...you are a real asset to the thread and I wish we were going to the same school.

So if not a full sholly at NYU I'm definitely going to Yale. Decision is made. Thanks everyone for the wonderful and maybe not so wonderful feedback.

And for the 2.9ers who are b*tching..don't worry about getting into yale...I doubt that you'd have any chance at matriculating anyway so consider it a favor that they rejected you instead of having you drowning in debt.

[paulinaporizkova]

Thanks brah enjoy being a jerk for the rest of your life. Chris I'm sure you will make a great decision don't let these people get you down. Haters gonna hate. Great cycle and congrats on the engagement. Maybe I'll see you in Cambridge next year.

that has to be like the 18th time you've referenced your harvard acceptance in this 4 page thread

That's awfully rich, coming from the apparent crusader against Internet assholery:

There are so many cool people on TLS but a large segment are just internet jerks. It just pisses me off that I'll probably be in school with many of these people (well the ones who could get into Harvard).

Too bad LSAT doesn't test for cognitive dissonance.

Oh, and anytime you'd like to take a look around UChicago, buddy, shoot me a pm. I promise I won't blog about the experience.

[predent/prelaw]

I've never seen you post here before fatduck:

OP is not a troll, she's been posting on this forum for quite a while. we don't have regular trolls on this subforum AFAIK

. as much as it might be hard for you to believe, some people really do come from a background where taking out 6 figure loans is so far above what they've experienced it's terrifying. I consider myself one of those people.


Yes, she should be more informed on LRAPs and understand that she really isn't risking anything.
But that doesn't make her a troll. Try to see things from her perspectives.


Also, it must be noted that Michelle Obama looks extra fine in that picture. if HLS can guarantee me those kinds of classmates i'll be sending in my deposit tomorrow lmao

I can't wait to go to ASW. I'm about 95% sold on Harvard.

Haha UNC lost to Duke HAHAHA

[fatduck]

i'm hamstrung in this one, unfortunately. plus he's in the army, which is intimidating and scary.

Crap, that completely limits what I can say.

i know, right? veterans are insufferable.

[unc0mm0n1]

come on dude. fatduck might be a big silly douche but he is never as mean spirited as you are being right now. also, WE KNOW YOU GOT INTO HARVARD OK WE KNOW ALREADY

I don't talk bad about anybody ever. Ask the people on this board some in this forum I go out of my way to help everybody with everything. This guy is a jerk who tried to bully the OP. I had enough of these type of people just because someone asks a question that they don't feel is worthy of the TLS board. DON'T ANSWER THEN.

I hope you go to yale and end up at the bottom of your class where you will end up unemployed and married to a teacher who makes 40K a year.

there's a bomb in my house. if i go below 15.00 posts/day it blows up. despite being an electrical engineer i can't disarm it. probably explains the 2.9.

might have trouble fitting in at harvard, though. which is where he's going to law school, btw.

It sounds like he is developing a TLS reputation, definitely going down the wrong track if he wants to be top of his class at not-Yale.

How's weight gain/major physiological change going?

[dkt4]

lot of the 'kanye defense' going on itt.

@ chris, good choice. you have some great options, and while i don't want to belittle UF, its hard to really consider that school in the same breath as these other schools in terms of the opportunities that will be available to you.


i understand people (especially people from low-income backgrounds) being debt-averse, but you really have to consider where you want to go rather than where you came from. graduating from yale or harvard law will almost inevitably mean that $200k in debt is not going to end horribly.

i don't think fatduck didn't think the thread was worthy of the TLS board, but you HAVE to expect a little flack when you throw out a poll like this. and his posts made me lol, and that's what he does. and if the OP didn't get an lol out of it too (especially since he is in the best situation anyone going to law school can hope to be in) then he takes his life way too seriously

ETA: he or she

Not likely...but maybe if you think and hope hard enough about it you might actually convince yourself that bullying people gives your life true meaning. I ask a simple question and get all of these rude responses from people who cannot fathom someone not being a slave to the usnwr rankings. My financial stability is important to me. So despite LRAPs its a bit scary to be that far in debt for a significant portion of my adult life
