It's T14... it can't be THAT bad, can it?Helmholtz wrote:Cornell's job prospects ruined Cornell for me.sarahlawg wrote:Cornell students ruined Cornell for me.longdaysjourney wrote:I'm glad i'm not the only one.Adjudicator wrote:Andy has totally ruined Cornell for me.... no joke.
Yo why do people hate on Cornell? Seems like a decent school and a relatively easy way into the top 14.Helmholtz wrote:Cornell's job prospects ruined Cornell for me.sarahlawg wrote:Cornell students ruined Cornell for me.longdaysjourney wrote:I'm glad i'm not the only one.Adjudicator wrote:Andy has totally ruined Cornell for me.... no joke.
Not quite, as someone had vomited before the break and i stepped in it, so when we left i remembered to sashay and avoid it.northwood wrote:nice.. your ninja skills made a tester vomit.... awesome
People hate on Cornell because of its relatively low numbers, the fact that it's arguably the worst T14, and that it dares to call itself an IVY. To be fair, it was sort of a NYCbiglaw-or-bust type of school, and this past year it got crushed in NLJ250 placement, being beaten by the likes of Vanderbilt and Georgetown (and practically tying with USC). But overall, making fun of Cornell is like making jokes about the worst guy on the NBA All-Star Team. It can be fun to mock, but it's still one of the best.AreJay711 wrote: Yo why do people hate on Cornell? Seems like a decent school and a relatively easy way into the top 14.

True fact. We had very shitty foldout desk things at the center I was at. Now I'll know if doing a prep test on a Paris-New york flight's economy seat (and several practice sessions on other long haul flights) paid in terms of adjusting to shitty testing locations -- you really can't get shittier than economy seats on long distance flights.rso11 wrote:lol Yeah they're pretty shitty.AreJay711 wrote:In all fairness we got tables at mine but my score would probably be about two points lower on those crappy little fold down thingsrso11 wrote:lol This thread is great.
At my testing location they split us up alphabetically and all the M-Z were in my room. (Kinda sucked b/c the 1st half of the alphabet actually got TABLES and we had those tiny little fold-over lecture desks...). Anyway, this one guy went up to the proctor during check-in:
Guy: So, my ticket says we're in X Hall. But you guys put the M-Z in here instead. I want to test there. Why can't I test there?
Proctor: Well what's your last name?
Guy: Z.
Ouch, I didn't remember my SSN either *facepalm*. I kept shut about it and left the section blank. FAILZ!djjf39 wrote:So a little bit of background info:
During the June test this one guy did not know his SSN. I was more concerned about my test, so I did not really pay attention to what happened with him.
During the OCT test the same guy was there, still didn't know his social, and I caught all of the interaction between him and the proctor.
Guy "What if we don't know our social security number"
Proctor "Really? You don't know it"
Guy "I have never had to use it"
Proctor "How old are you?"
Guy "23, I am senior"
Proctor "Do you have it written down somewhere?"
Guy "I am sure my mom does"
Proctor "Your mom is here right now?"
Guy "No, but I could call her"
Proctor "How?"
Guy "I have my cell-phone, it will be quick, I promise" - Dude whips out his cell, it is of course an iPhone.
Proctor "Those aren't allowed"
Guy "But you asked, and it was in my pocket on vibrate"
Proctor "Come outside with me"
They left, came back, dude sat the exam; could not believe I had witnessed that interaction.
