WTF, classmates? Judging from Facebook, some people go home i.e. fly across the country to visit their parents every time there is a long weekend or holiday. You realize we don't even get a day off for Easter, right?

A) You are an adult, strange as it may seem to some of you. You need to detach from your parents and

B) Every weekend you spend hanging out with mommy & daddy is a weekend you're not spending on the brief, homework, supplements, test prep and all the other things which should be your priorities right now. Grow up and start managing your time efficiently.

Also some people like to celebrate the most important Christian/Catholic holiday with their family. Crazy I know.

I don't see why you feel the need to disparage others anonymously in such a way, or even feel negatively about this at all. These are the sort of obnoxious comments that make outsiders think poorly of our school.

People have different relationships with their families. Many well-adjusted adults visit their parents frequently and spend a lot of time with them in-person. That doesn't make them any less mature or independent. I would love to spend more time with mine, but like you, I don't feel like I have the opportunity to do so right now.

But maybe other people are better at managing their time. Or they just have different priorities. That's great. Either way, it's not my business or yours.

Hell, even a complete sociopath shouldn't have anything negative to say about this subject, since if they really are harming their own studies to take trips, it's benefitting people they are curved against.

I sat here for about thirty seconds trying to figure out why this should matter at all to you, and couldn't come up with a solid reason. Except maybe Crowing's curve idea, in which case you should be happy. The irony of someone dressing down people for being juvenile with this little rant is pretty delicious.

I realize spring quarter is getting to people. Almost there. Take a deep breath, count to ten, and repeat this until you really believe it: "I will focus on my own shit."

Spring Quarter is REALLY getting to people. It doesn't really seem so bad overall but for the fact that everyone's a bundle of nerves all the time.

I like your style.

Really looking forward to when we have the power to anon post in the OCI thread.

Also grades are due by the end of today. That's fun I guess.

Wonder if we'll get another DG "don't freak out, children" email.

Oh yeah I'm thinking grades will be late, but the DG email telling us not to worry is imminent.

And people say Chicago Law students are socially retarded. Don't know where they get that idea from...

Don't worry, there'll be enough:

Good luck today, young ones!

Happy Easter everyone!!!! I hope you all have a great holiday with your families. Take a nice break from your supplements.

People who have time to post these comments on TLS need to grow up and realize being an adult means working all the time. If you're having fun in law school you need to reconsider your maturity level.

I know, right? I totally stopped being friends with this one guy this week because he flew to be with his family over the weekend. I didn't want his immaturity to rub off on me (or my grades).

That guy sounds completely immature and irresponsible. How he doesn't realize the importance of 24/7 studying in order to do well in law school is beyond me. The only possible path to success is study, study, sleep, and study. Hope that sucker enjoys shitlaw, he'll have plenty of time to spend with his family between chasing ambulances and moonlighting at Sonic. These people have to grow up, for real.

Hey guys. I was waitlisted at Chicago this year after being interviewed. I just sent in a LOCI and am now waiting for a response. Are there people here who were accepted off the waitlist, and does anyone know the acceptance rate for those already interviewed?

I was a waitlist admit last year, but didn't have an interview first. Not sure on the rates - could see it going either way (either better if you had an interview and got WL'ed, or worse). I believe the other dude who was accepted same day I was was also a non-interview waitlist, FWIW.

[Jaqen]

I was interviewed in February, waitlisted in March, and accepted in June.

I have no idea about rates or anything unfortunately.
