Thanks man and thanks to everyone else. Crap but my SEO is on the west coast. (I asked for it because I thought I was going to Berkeley (maybe still will). But If I go to Harvard that's moving from Chicago to the west coast then from the west coast to Boston. This is gonna be hectic. lol yeah I know all you guys are crying for me :P. lol.

Initially I wanted to do sports law, but now I'm leaning towards corporate litigation.
Haha I'm the opposite right now...

Yep there's an April ASW. Rest up though, Harvard's ASW is a brutal marathon. Especially if you have the audacity to actually go out at night(I know from horrible experience).

Thanks for the congrats :)

I really need to see Palo Alto before I can say for sure. When I visited Yale and Harvard, I found Harvard Law students to be more grounded but distant/stressed, whereas Yale Law students were generally nicer but vastly more eccentric. The campuses themselves sort of follow suit--Yale Law's architecture is beautiful but it looks ridiculously out of place, whereas Harvard is generally more boring but practical-looking. If I had to decide today, I'd probably say Yale, but that very well might change, especially after ASW at Stanford and I start remembering that I despise the cold.

What about yourself, Fresh?
