Have better ties to Cleveland. Also have ties to Syracuse.
Can live with family in both regions during school.
No preference on residence after graduation.
These are my best options (Aside from retake, which I'm unable to do)
Any suggestions?
Which school does TLS like better?

They correlate. Not causal, the way adopting a cat into a house where someone is allergic is causes their allergies without being the direct an inevitable cause of it.

Source for the bolded? (Assuming you're not just begging the question and mean "good at studying" when you say "earnest in studying hard".) Neither passion nor earnestness seemed especially pronounced among people who crushed 1L at my school.laanngo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 9:47 pmThey correlate.

I don't see why I need a source to say that those with good personality traits tend to succeed in life.

Re: Case Western Reserve ($$$) or Syracuse ($$$)
Because “having good personality traits” and “succeeding at life” don’t have anything to do with success on law school exams specifically and I don’t understand why you’re doubling down on this. Have you actually attended law school/taken law school exams yet?

When you assert "they correlate", full stop, you're implying you have some empirical basis. Not "I think they ought to correlate because it seems intuitive to me a priori".laanngo wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 11:19 pmThen what was pronounced among those who crushed it?Source for the bolded?

It sounds like you are indeed just begging the question, falling back to the motte of "good personality traits", so I'm now reasonably confident you don't actually have any basis for saying the bolded. TYVM.
