Good catch. Great movie. I feel like I just vanquished a gladiator.Kronk wrote:But not yet. Not yet.crackberry wrote:We will meet again, Yale, whether in this life or the next.
Yeah. Sort of makes me want to watch it. One of my favorites. Eight gladiators, one for each word of the 250?crackberry wrote:Good catch. Great movie.

Lol - blatant show-off of logical reasoning skills by eager-beaver top law school candidate. He said it in a colloquial setting and you knew what he meant.Kakarot wrote:
One of those being true doesn't limit all of those from being true.
Nope, I honestly thought he was avoiding the question by saying something that may or may not mean I was wrong.T14_Scholly wrote:Lol - blatant show-off of logical reasoning skills by eager-beaver top law school candidate. He said it in a colloquial setting and you knew what he meant.Kakarot wrote:

Uh, saying "And you're assuming" also avoids an answer the same as "One of those is correct." Assuming something doesn't mean I was wrong.T14_Scholly wrote:That's bull, considering that the preceding sentence began "And you're assuming...," implying that you shouldn't have been assuming they all were true.
+1. I'm bracing for a lot more of these types of arguments as a 1L.crackberry wrote:My brain hurts.
Dude, don't play dumb. He was clearly saying that only one of the four facts he listed was actually true. People speak in a colloquial manner on internet forums - they're not trying to simulate LSAT questions. In the context he was speaking, it would make no sense for him to say one is correct when he means to leave open the possibility that all four are correct. All you did was correct him for making a logically imprecise statement, and you know it. Notice that he said "good catch" in response.Kakarot wrote:Uh, saying "And you're assuming" also avoids an answer the same as "One of those is correct."

In that statement he never said I was wrong.
I suggest that we close this discussion before it becomes unnecessarily acrimonious.T14_Scholly wrote:Dude, don't play dumb.

It's the same on all threads here ... I would think it is more understandable to feel this way about Yale than any others. I people with strong academic records usually feel like they can obtain what they set out to try if they try hard enough. Not so in this case. It is even worse to be judged (without knowing what the criterias are) for overachievers. They are usually not at the mercy of someone else since they usually command their own destiny.booboo wrote:I liked this thread more when the hopeless applicants (who have a reasonable chance of being accepted but are unnecessarily pessimistic) lament on their lack of a decision from Yale.
Please return to what is expected, <3. .

Even if you fudged a lot of dates doubtful you fudged them all or by much. So look at complete people from around 1-22 from new jersey who have been out of school for 3+ years and attended a large public school. Wouldn't be hard at all.

Parts of it are. The area right near the campus is cleaned up. I don't remember a whole lot from visiting before undergrad, so that's basically the extent of my knowledge. Also, being used to relatively rundown neighborhoods of New York City or my own hometown made it seem a lot less unpleasant to me than I think it does to people from comfortable suburbia or rural areas.notanumber wrote:YOU WON'T GET IT.lt0826 wrote: "Information, we want information"
Who is number 1?
/prisoner references.
I absolutely love how nobody posts in this thread anymore.
Um. So. I've never been to New Haven. Is it really as bad as its reputation makes it out to be? It looks almost quaint from the photos I've seen.
Neat. I've lived in some pretty nasty industrial wastelands in my day so I'm not terribly concerned about living near poverty or crime. I suppose my question was more along the lines of: Is New Haven really as mind-numbingly boring as some folk make it out to be?BenJ wrote: Parts of it are.
