Doing extensive research on first choice of law school?

Post by HarveyBirdman » Sun Jul 11, 2010 2:21 pm

Did anyone here do any extensive research on their first choice school or schools, such as look up some of the professors, the law review articles, the history of the school...things that might not normally be found on a forum like this. I was just thinking it might help to have something specific to the school to talk about perhaps in an essay or in the case of harvard anyway, an interview.

no. no. no.

numbers matter. you can write a thesis on Harvard but if you don't have the numbers you aren't getting in. and as long as you have the numbers then you only need good softs, not Obama level shit. point: in no situation will doing such extensive work be necessary or sufficient (sufficient to overcome low numbers I mean).
