observations:

1. the TLS crowd seems to be pretty smart

2. OCI this year does not seem like a total bloodbath, certainly better then I expected

+1. Definitely gives hope for the future...

This thread could be called "post here to brag about OCI" and it would be more apt You're getting an extraordinarily unrepresentative sample ITT.

+1, given the anonymouses I've easily identified.

Some people are also dumb as hell when it comes to hitting the Anonymous button.

This. After one too many "Hi OS!" posts, I just don't bother with it.

I'm so sorry to hear about your results. I imagine you go to H, no?

[omg]

boo to people STILL posting "pending," etc.!

[lawschoollll]

Let's get some more people at T14s who are around median... that's the most helpful for 0Ls and 1Ls. Like congrats to the "CCN top 2%ers" but we know you're getting multiple V10s without you having to post here...
