No, Yale is just ridiculous.
Their employment numbers are lower than NYU. Can someone explain that to me?

I think it has to do with pursuing more school instead of getting a job?
Ahhh. I see.

A lot of it is self-selection and the opportunities open to yale grads. 78% are In full time legal jobs, which is closer to 90% for schools like nyu Columbia etc. But when you include other full time work their number (Yale) jumps to 92%, Another 7% in school funded jobs as well. But that additional 15% of full time jobs are probably really good opportunities not open to your average legal grad that don't require bar passage so they aren't included in your traditional LST score report. /rant

Edit for there are plenty pursuing addtl school too I just don't know where they fall in the percentages

Okay. So if I somehow win the luck lottery and get into Yale, and then I somehow win the money lottery to be able to pay for it, I should go.

guys, someone please respond.

Going to be drilling idividual passages to day - when you guys drill and look for structure - should I basically be annotating the parahraphs like this?

Paragraph 1: Introduces theory
Parahraph 2: Author opinion
para 3- Critiques
para 4 -Suggestion to make theory better

Is the above correct for thinking of the passage in terms of structure? Its this type of idea, opposed to trying to memorize all the details correct?

Yeah basically. You can pretty much predict what's coming in the next paragraphs. There are usually pretty big indicators. Obvs the passages won't all b like how you laid them out, but that's the right type of thinking. The one thing tho is that sometimes the authors opinion is not set of in a paragraph--it might just be one sentence in a paragraph

I would be happy with that. I didn't like the noon start time for June because I had too much time to sit around and be nervous + the timing of my food/caffeine was off, but I feel like 10:30 is optimal.
