Congratulations! It looks like I'll be joining you down in Austin. Hook 'Em.

I'm eager to go, although that might be in part because I can't find a job and am tired of starving

Anyone planning on reading up on any of the material before starting classes? From what I'm reading on the current law students forum posts, reading some resources (such as the E&Es) seems like a good way to get an overview before starting. I don't want to burn myself out early or just confuse the crap out of myself, though.

Yeah, I might just peruse some E&Es / outlines or maybe even peruse a hornbook or two if I'm feeling studious, but I'm not doing anything at all until the summer at least.

Are any of you planning on attending the ASW?

[Snooker]

I am skeptical about the whole 'burning out' thing due to starting early. You'll be practicing law for decades to come, how could lawyers really get burned out so early? I think it's more of a law school senioritis thing - once you get to the end of the law school practice, you naturally start feeling burned out as you anticipate the next stage on the journey.

I'd personally go for a solid, thorough 1L preparation and not worry about the potential of being burned out.

I've made up my mind. I'm in for UT! I just couldn't stand the thought of leaving Austin

Hook 'em!

Good choice Esc! In your case I really do think everything points to UT, and it's nice to see someone have the balls to use logic and get past the name.

Are any of you planning on attending the ASW?

In all likelihood, yes.

Congrats to everybody on getting in!

Hey everyone. Count me in as well. Can't wait to head back to Austin!

[art vandelay]

If you could only afford one, would you recommend attending the ASW or going on a normal class day(s)?

Also, what is the likelihood I could get a travel stipend to help fund the visit?

I would think ASW would be more valuable than a normal class. No idea about stipends, but that's a good question.

UT did both a big ASW and 2 mini-visit days last year. I did a mini-visit day and it was great. Well worth the trip.

Also, they provided many of us with $200 stipends last year. Hopefully they do the same for ya'll.

It was mentioned in one of the various letters about visiting. Can't hurt to ask about getting money for travel though.

Mar 26 & 27...I just got my acceptance call today and I directly asked her out of curiosity.

[lsatismybitchlover]

yup during spring break...is that not normal or something? I hope in all of the excitement I didn't hear the dates wrong...im very sorry if I did but im positive its 26th or 27th according to her

[lsatismybitchlover]

She said they dont call it ASW either and that its just one day so I think its on either one of those days...again sorry for any confusion and please dont curse me out or get angry because I promise im not trying to tease anyone or play any games lol
