I'd pick Stanford over both of them in a heart beat.

164 and 3.3 kind of sucks.

you'll be surprised dude

I've picked up several good looking girls from clubs simply by telling them i'm a princeton grad. They were in the 7-8 range.

I can only imagine what caliber of females I'll be able to scoop up with HLS on my resume.

I'm thinking dimes everyday. I'm tall and athletic so its not really that hard in the first place but showing these females how fat my bank account will be in a couple of years makes its alot easier.

This turd is a Bing14 alt. Has to be.

You can't be serious, right? I mean a LOR from Cornell West is pretty serious, but you can't possibly expect one LOR and overcoming adversity (which btw, a lot of applicants have done) to compensate for the LSAT/GPA combo. A URM shouldn't apply to schools assuming that the boost will overlook glaring inadequacies in their overall candidacy. You seem to have had a pretty stellar cycle and you should be happy with that. But to simply assume that your success will follow you all the way to a HLS admit, is self-entitlement at its very worst. FYI, most URMs that get accepted to HLS at least pad the GPA median. If I were you, I wouldn't be feeling so shocked if I was rejected or waitlisted.

Sorry to come across a little harsh, but you strike me as a little delusional.

Everyone in this thread who believes OP is legit...

When you guys say you would take HLS or SLS over YLS, I'll just say that the decision is A LOT different when you're facing it.

biomedical engineering grad from Princeton w/ alot of accomplishments

I suspect Harvard as a likely admit while Yale is a long shot

So I know I'm totally feeding the troll / throwing firewood into the flames here, but I just want to point out that Princeton doesn't HAVE a biomed engineering major (and the closest certificate/minor is "engineering biology" but then you're still a ChemE).

Harvard places better into private practice.

Clearly he, the dean and Cornell West worked out a special accommodation for him. Damn people.

According to USNWR it actually is.

I was as surprised by that fact, I figured Oxford to be #1 but they are #5 according to the almighty USNWR.

I really hope someone from Harvard admissions is reading this. Like the OP said, there aren't a lot of black male engineering students at Princeton that are applying to HLS. Please reject this d-bag.

The "universally recognized" is as big a problem here as the "best university in the world."

OP just doesn't want to be part of that whole Yale thing

So far, this is the most astute analogy. I also think it makes SLS a Tesla.

I personally find YLS's environment more appealing.

eh i dont know. from a lay person's perspective (those that make up the majority of the people), Harvard is the best university in the world. what would be your candidate? lol

though universally recognized != best university, for all intents and purposes when it comes to the masses here talking about higher education, it is kind of the same thing

my mother (who knows very little about life, the world, or law school, but does know i didn't apply to yale and there's no way in hell i could get into hls OR yls): "well it doesn't matter where you go now, because you can just transfer to yale next year."

Many intelligent people have been able to do all these things without the benefit of any higher education. If you feel like you need a HLS degree (and not a YLS degree) to accomplish these, you must be woefully incompetent/inadequate.

Seriously, I don't think a Harvard degree is going to significanlty change the amount of women who want to sleep with you. Lots of money, yes, being important...perhaps...depends... but I don't know many Harvard anything grads that get lots of fine women. The ones that do would get them anyway.

I'm not saying it won't help, cause it will(even if only a little) I just wasnt sure if your were like some lame, nerdy guy, with no game, thinking if I tell chicks at the club that I go to HLS then they'll go home with me. While they are more likely to do so than before, I don't think its big enough of a deal to pick hls over yls. Especially educated girls(meaning they went to a good school, not a community college-not that those are bad per se), the diff. between HLS and YLS while real, will be minimal to them, I think. All the other stuff would be wayyy more important (money, fame, cars, clothes, physical apperance and of course swag/game etc, before pedigree. Besides you already went to Princeton and you will be in law school thats good enough.

Imagining the unimaginable obstacle is a fun thought exercise. Were you a lump of clay that willed yourself into an animate, human form just so you could attend Harvard Law?

Though, I guess I just imagined that one, so . . .

Rest assured, you will never get a V5 partnership or become a SCOTUS clerk based on how big of a self-centered jerk you are. I will gladly laugh when Harvard rejects you.

Ha!

Just watched that the other day. Once saw a bunch of East Coast bankers in Downtown LA, obviously attending some conference cause they were wearing name tags. They DO look exactly the same!!!

Gotta support my Bros... Ya know what, after thinkin about it, I'd probably pick HLS. If you wanna do anything outside law, the law prestige/name recognition would matter, and Harvard has the best. Plus when girls hear harvard it gets their attention. A friend of mine went to Harvard for grad school for a field that makes no money, at all ( I mean they get a salary but by no means big money), and he told girls he was at harvard and they were like omg he's gonna be rich. It's freakin stupid, if they thought about the field he was in they would realize that most don't make a lot of money, but that's how a lot of girls think.
