How difficult is it to get registrar to approve written work extension?

Depends entirely on the prof

As a 2L/3L, how hard should we be working in comparison to 1L wrt exam prep. Asking for a friend.

Is there a place I can print my outlines in color? The law library doesn't seem to have color printing, and I only get the $2 weekly quota at other places.

There's a color printer in the 3rd floor printing room outside the library. It doesn't print two sided though

The new password reqs are dumb as fuck. Like jesus, we aren't storing peoples medical and credit information on our damn CLS accounts--why the fuck do we have such strict password requirements now. I'm on my third attempt of finding a password that works...

Yeah it's pretty insane. Not to mention they already require us to have different passwords and usernames depending on if we're logging into lion mail or lawnet and the email password has to change like every 3 months or something.

Thank you!

May or may not have printed off 116 pages of mis-formatted outline before I realized the lab computers were screwing up my layouts.

Why did you make a 116 outline in the first place...?

[White Dwarf]

I printed all 3 at once. A solid third of that is just Civ Pro/Contracts rules anyway.

It does print two sided, but you have to manually feed it back to print the second page.

does a high pass in LPW mean anything?

[almondjoy]

does a high pass in LPW mean anything?

No. I only had one interviewer even bring it up during EIP and it was in the context of, "So I saw you got a high pass in the Fall and a regular pass in the Spring. What happened?"

lol I don't remember the outcome. I do remember trying to laugh the question off but then realizing the interviewer was deadpan and expecting an actual explanation for my declining legal writing skillz.

no one knows or cares about p/hp

[Tiago Splitter]

I had one guy notice because he used to teach LPW. Did not get a callback.

Anyone ever audited an undergrad class? Not for credit - just an interest in the subject.

Fundamentals of Young Puntang?

4/5, would do again.

I recently got admitted via ED to Columbia and now am sitting at home wondering about the joys and glories that lie ahead (not really)

I do have a handful of questions for y'all awesome Columbia people:

1) Admission Packet & Hamilton

I know that ED applicants are usually shooed away from financial aid, but is there a chance that I may be eligible for the fellowships? I only received the admission email, and haven't received my admission packet yet... How does Hamilton/Butler work? If it isn't mentioned on my email, then no-no?
(also, any idea as to when the packet will arrive?)

2) Scholarship Grants

So I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole loan component thing. I'm not a US citizen/greencard holder so I'm not eligible for FAFSA. To receive scholarship grants, do I HAVE to take out loans? (cuz then I'd have to go through the hassle of securing a US cosigner and taking out private loan with decent interest rates...) Is there any way to receive scholarship grants and grants only? I might be able to secure the rest..

3) Recommendations on what to do before law school? I quit my internship last week and started tutoring gigs. (much more lucrative)

I love how they emailed me 2 times a day until i changed my password to reflect the new rules/make password recovery answers.

1. fellowships come in packets. I want to say the email should have had them too but I don't remember.
2. Columbia technically doesn't have "scholarships". You either get a fellowship or you get "need based aid" which looks strangely like scholarships. It seems weird to screw you over for not being a citizen so I would ask the finaid people.
3. Have fun. Read the guides for how to be successful in law school that are posted on these forums.

Hit the weight room to continue CLS' record of most swole Ivy law school.

also the weight room here is way too crowded so you should lift while you can.

Hmm true, but, people are usually chill with trading sets with a random, so long as you're built like a truck. (at least, as a truck, that's my experience)
