Will this get me into harvard? Forum

[Paraflam]

Learning to capitalize Harvard would be a nice step.

I think that it is a matter of showing respect. Personally I would make an effort to capitalize Cooley, as it's graduates are eligible to sit for the bar, and although I have [no?] desire to go there I do not have the negitive feelings towards it that are common here at TLS.

I readily admit my spelling and gramer leave much to be desired, but making an effort to show respect for the institutione I aspire to become a member of seems merely to be good form.

I have never, EVER seen a grammar nazi who is this awful of a speller. LOL

Also, if you aspire to go to law school and become a lawyer, then you also aspire to become a licensed member of the Bar in your respective state, correct? Why are you not showing respect to the Bar Association by capitalizing Bar????????????

I had this same thing all typed up, and then thought it was either heartless or falling for a flame. But in case it's neither, +1.

Paraflam,

I am sorry I was not fast enough to quote you calling me a retard, it added a nice touch to the argument of respect.

My typing on on my phone while on the move did not add much to my dyslexic abilities, but such is life. I suspect respect in general does not mean much to you, but it does to some, as it does to many in the admission committee community. This is not to say that because someone opted to not capitalize the name of the school in a forum posting, that they would do such a thing in correspondence with the school. Few people are in a position that gaining admission into HLS is a layup, if it is your goal, why take even small risk when they can be avoided.

I can't believe how stupid some people are.

Maybe OP was typing on his phone while on the move and has "dyslexic abilities" too? Not capitalizing the name of a school you want to get into on an anonymous message board is not a risk of any kind.

EDIT: I just realized how hilarious the concept of a dyslexic grammar nazi is. Priceless.

Can you all just shut up?

OP, above average is going to be a bit detrimental to your application, but get an LSAT score above 175 and admission is still possible.

I think you guys won - he's a legit poster.

ahhh summer time on tls.

as long as you remember to capitalize it on your personal statements you are ok. actually if you have the numbers, maybe it's ok anyway.

Things get punchy around here? I didn't join until later on in the cycle. Late enough that I couldn't retake the LSAT in October when TLS told me to, anyhow.

Either way, it's hot and muggy here, and I'm ready to take some internet scalps. Either that or go find somewhere air conditioned.

Cycle is winding down except for some WL movements here and there, and new blood won't start until after the June score comes out. So we are at a boring and testy time here. Also people are probably mad they had to come back to work. At least they fixed our air conditioning in the building...

It's time like this that I find NU's AJD appealing because I would only be 2 years from a JD... School needs to start now.

Capital letters have been reduced to stylized elements on most social media sites. Twitter is going to destroy our culture and society I tell you. (wasn't that the subject of multiple LSAT passages?)

Almost as eloquent as "negitive" and "gramer." You yourself have a way with words, haus.

lol at twitter/social media having any influence on the typing style of my generation

Why you say that?

[fatduck]

because twitter launched in 2006? i'd say the death of capital letters had a lot to do with the rapid typing required for online games (particularly text-based ones like MUDs, but really any game that requires rapid communication), and crowded channels in IRC. instant messaging (AIM/ICQ) probably had some effect, but i'd lump those in with a different type of slang/abbreviation-based communication that most people associate with text messaging, and that isn't really what we're talking about here.

Because this thread is now about grammar and spelling on the interwebz instead of Harvard admission....

Can you all just shut up?
