Both Ratner and Crown are really solid. Since they're used by the University athletes (lol) they're pretty well stocked. Ratner has 4 power racks w/ platforms. 4 additional racks usually used for benching, but you can squat or press there if needed. Dbs go up to 120.lester wrote:Does anyone know what the university exercise facilities are like? (especially the weight room and basketball courts)

Thanks, Mal and skers. It's nice to know that they're pretty good. I've heard that some smaller schools can be downright terrible in that regard.

Re: The University of Chicago Law School Class of 2018
Historically I think Chicago has shared the first part of this--big law is what it's good at, too--and currently there's probably something of the second part in play as both schools try to shift their images. But I think it's pretty genuine at UofC. Everybody raves about Dean Schill and Susan Curry, and the Public Interest Law Society seems really committed to being a support group as well as a haven of social justice chats (and doing a lot of substantive stuff besides this, obviously).soexcited wrote:"well, yeah, that's great, but we're all only here for the firms and that's what CLS is really good at." It felt weirdly like the school was trying to trick us in the door? Though I had some great conversations with professors/staff.
But the real plus of Chicago is that there are so many public-interest-oriented TLSers going here...

Who else received an email from a faculty member ("I have been chosen as your faculty contact person")?

Re: The University of Chicago Law School Class of 2018
I got one from a current student. Still a classy move considering I EDed and they don't need to sell me on the school.

Is the faculty member the same or different than the guy who emailed basically with his bio and is teaching Elements next year? I thought that read like an everyone email blast, and he didn't say anything contact person-y, but…

Ya I got an email as well. Not from that same professor but from one that matches interests I expressed in my personal statement. If they were batch emails, it was in small directed groups

I got an email from a current student and a prof. The prof isn't really in my field of interest, so I thought maybe it was a mass email. Guess not, though.

Re: The University of Chicago Law School Class of 2018
I've emailed a few and they all took a while to get back to me. I can't complain 'cause I'm sure they have more important stuff going on and I can be really bad about getting back to people myself.Mack.Hambleton wrote:I got an email from a current student but they haven't responded yet lol

Something came up so unfortunately won't be making the ASW. Hope y'all have a good time, though!
In other news, has anybody heard anything about Doctoroff? I'm guessing that I probably didn't get an interview since it's been this long without hearing a thing, but I haven't seen anything on here about it.
