I played flip cup and beer pong in Spies Garden (kinda like the law school quad if you don't know) in between Contracts and Torts today. If that sounds like your idea of fun you're gonna love it here.

If not,

That sounds fantastic

If not,

Did you receive any scholly money from UVA?

I fail to see what that has to do with anything.

o and who provided the brew? lol

I think its sba (like student government) though someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, the food @ events here is baller. Like wine, cheese, hummus plates, fancy chocolate things, and papa freaking johns. No need to buy groceries just go to all the events they have here.

man sounds like im gonna be lovin it

Its pretty amazing. The people here are the most fun and interesting people i've ever been surrounded by. If you don't love it, there is something terribly wrong with you.

Lol epic fail. I meant to pm that to someone else. One thing has always seems to stand out... I have never heard anyone that say they are disappointed or unhappy at uva

I think my RD app may be reviewed soon. Status stayed the same but the date changed from last updated on 9/3 to 9/15. Who knows.

"Regular Decision applicants will likely hear from us starting in January. " From the status checker website...I guess this is good for me if things don't work out with my ED to Penn, then I can still ED to UVA before RD applications are looked at

Legit. Is this the every-Thursday keg in Spies that a 3L told me about during my tour?

Yep, every Thursday around 3 or 4, which is perfect because you can migrate straight from the Keg to the Drunk League softball game right across the street. Oh yea, then you have bar review that night.


When you are in the library until 11 PM three days in a row its nice to have a Thursday like this.

8:50 Crim with Anne Coughlin is very very interesting on Fridays

You dont pick your classes as a 1L do you? and does every 1L take the same classes or at least use the same books?

[sundance95]

I know they take the same classes, unsure about the books.

Link here: http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/academ ... tm#courses

Looks like you choose 2 electives your 2nd semester.

[sundance95]

Can someone confirm that Legal Writing is pass/fail?

[jawsthegreat]

We all take the same 5 classes: Crim-850, CivPro-10, LRW-random, Contracts-210, Torts-340. Though each sections classes meet on different days and are different lengths those are the 1L time blocks.



Some classes use the same books others use different books, its up to the professor.

[jawsthegreat]

Can someone confirm that Legal Writing is pass/fail?

Yep, its pass/fail. If you are unsure of where you want to go be sure to ask about LRW, because I could not imagine going somewhere with graded LRW, it would make life exponentially more terrible. Pass/Fail its bad enough, graded would just ruin me.

Word. I've been accepted ED so I am definitely going, but I am mighty glad to hear this.

Hmm im very curious about the books. Anyone know for sure?

5 classes. that seems like alot for each being a law school class. Do you try to set a schedule, i know my UG law school just assigns 1L's with a schedule

Talking to 2Ls and 3Ls they only know of 1 person who didn't pass, and that person basically just didn't do the assignments.

[sundance95]

Much thanks for passing along the wisdom, jaws.

[005618502]

Yeah, thank you.

Would you say reading the books for 1L classes over the summer is a helpful idea?

[sundance95]

Yeah, thank you.

Easy there big cat.

[jawsthegreat]

My guide to 0L prep:

1. Get Better at softball. Being good at softball can really help integrate you into the culture.

2. Read Getting to Maybe.

3.?????

4. Profit

[005618502]
