UVA Law Students Taking Questions Forum

Yeah, IMO the note requirement for a secondary journal should easily and rightly scare you off.

[Legen..waitforit]

I know of many 2L friends who got onto VLBR and have only done 1 cite check so far, if that helps any 1L's decide.

doubt it. on paper they require you to secure admission normally to both if you do the joint jd-mba program (which they also, again on paper, close you out of after you've completed 1L). so that probably means GMAT at minimum (and probably WE too). http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/academics/mba.htm

not directly on point, but i also know that people in other grad schools (PhD programs + med school) that decided to tack on a JD had to take the LSAT and apply normally to get into the law school.

1Ls: have all journal invites gone out yet today? if yes, ill go cry now

Crying over journals is about a stupid thing to cry over as I can imagine.

Possibility for a current law student to get into Darden MBA without work experience or GMAT?

I'm not certain about no GMAT but I definitely know of people who did it with no W/E.

If you don't get Law Review, then you should do the journal that requires the least amount of work.

Only law students parse the relative preftige of secondary journals.

Does anyone know how professor grade seminars with say, than 10 people (or where I could get information on the topic)? Is the curve the average of the student's GPA's or is it still a 3.3 curve?

[sprezz]

as far as i can tell, electives curve now is always average of the class regardless of class size

[whats an updog]

one more neurotic gpa related question cuz i don't know where one finds out about this stuff, but the leaked gpas from a couple years ago put the median at like 3.42 i think. is that more accurate for 1L year than the 3.3 number thrown around, or were the leaked numbers not representative of 1L year?

Not representative of 1L year.

thanks, it's been bugging me since grades came out.

Not even close, but I LOVE picking classes. Taking them, not so much. But picking them is the best. There's so much hope, and I can usually convince myself that I'll actually study next semester.

Does anyone have any experience with the Prosecution Clinic? And does everyone get a B+, or is there a legit curve for the graded stuff.

Al Carbon dude, you're going there with me when I get back in town. Google it

Make me.

Edit: Oh dude - I went there. It's meh - awful service. There's a place in Richmond that has much better rotisserie chicken.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but class selection for the fall won't happen until mid-summer. But to echo, picking classes in the lottery is SO MUCH FUN. I ALWAYS get exactly what I wanted.

So obviously VJIL is crazy but does anyone have a sense of what the workload at the other journals is like (specifically tax and jolt)? Also do recruiters look at the kind of journal and think it actually reflects an interest of yours, or is it just "oh I see you're on [some secondary journal], how have you liked that?" Crim says it has a low workload which sounds nice but I wouldn't want to have to try and square an apparent interest in crim with an actual interest in doing corp.

Doesn't matter. Vjolt is pretty low impact from what I hear. Don't know about tax.

VJIL and Law and Politics are the two "must avoid" - don't know much about the others.
