Given my extremely well developed social skills, I am going to hold off on giving you relationship advice you did not request.

There are two meanings of gunning. One is approved by most of TLS while the other isn't.

The first is meaning to ask a ton of questions in class, insane hypos, drive everyone else crazy, all that. Don't be that guy.

The second is to "gun" in the sense that you study a lot, and kill it on grades. Most encourage this.

ETA: And no, most people stop briefing after a few weeks, and most regard it as a timesink. Outlining can be important, but it hardly is the reason for separation.

Just go to the highest ranked USNWR school you can get into. The rankings are the most important thing.

Have you considered Princeton Law?

The reason it is competitive to get into a good law school isn't because there just are not enough law schools to meet demand.

Going to law school was the best choice I ever made.

Also, my classmates are all awesome and fun to be around.
