I'm pretty sure having those numbers can elevate one's confidence, as those numbers surpass any requirements for HYS.
Seriously guys, my intent wasn't to troll when I asked this question, I was just really wondering on which one to pick as I know I will eventually have to pick between a Hamilton at Columbia or Harvard.
And you were doing so well until:

"It's so funny and cute seeing fucking scrubs like you guys jealous.
Just cause I can get into any law school I want and get full ride scholarships outside HYS, doesn't mean you guys have to be jealous nerds.
Its okay people, I am one of the greatest and smartest people you guys will ever meet.
Trust me, you guys will know my name in the future, it will be a household name.
Fucking jealous motherfuckers, I am smarter than all you guys."

But let's assume you're serious. Why not Yale?

Remotely. And only at select undergrads. I doubt this would be realistically possible at any legit undergrad.

No 500 work experience as clerkship at a nearby court.
100 hours of Volunteer work helping the poor and needy like you and your mom.

1) 100 hours of volunteer work isn't shit.
2) wtf does 500 work experience even mean? Do you mean you've worked for 500 hours in your life? If so LOLOLOL.
Woah there. 500 hours of work experience = 12.5 weeks of FULL TIME work!!! Now that sounds impressive to me!

Just simply stating facts.
I actually hope you're just a bad troll now. At first, I thought your personality was just kinda meh...but from reading this thread, apparently it is ridiculously immature. Get WE and VE doesnt help you grow up.

And is it just me or do all immature individuals like to call others "kids"?

Oh and to help with your inevitable decision: go with the Hamilton. Your personality will most likely go unnoticed in the PS and even the HLS screening call (maybe)...but it will kill you in OCI interviews w/ firms. At least at CLS, you won't be in debt when biglaw dings you. HTH.

Atticus Finch. I remembered the name of the bad attorney who defended Casey Anthony for like a week, but it's gone.

btw, my inner nerd/gamer lawled hard on your comment about RPG rating systems.

Yeah, and a pretty bad one at that. Lines like "I will become a household name".

But I do know that having 100+ Volunteer Experience, 500+ Work Experience, plus on top of my 177 LSAT and a 4.3 GPA, the Hamilton at Columbia is very likely.

Take the Hamilton. Otherwise, when you suck 1L and strike out of OCI, you'll just be a poor bastard.

I'm kinda hoping it isn't a troll. Then he'll realize in a year that a 4.3 in Underwater Basket Weaving Studies from whatever TTT actually gives 4.3s doesn't guarantee success at Cooley, much less Columbia/Harvard.

Wouldn't that make a lot more sense in reverse order?
