If it takes you 6 months to learn what others do in 2 weeks of light study, you are going to get ur anus torn asunder.

idk man, the LSAT is weird. I took it twice and was declared illiterate by the LSAC, but between my hilarious ~theatre arts~ GPA and in-state residency I snuck into UVA ED. Thereafter I somehow held my ground against my Übermensch LSAT master peers.

Pretty sure it means s/he wasn't happy with the scores s/he received.

Real problem: Selection bias of posters and context. But if people get the game it's all fine.

I think this site should do those things and when posts aren't stupid, people are respectful.

I missed 9 or more reading comprehension questions both times I took the LSAT, which is IMO well below the threshold for literacy.

lol idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Unfortunately I really found/invested in TLS around 1L, or else I would have retaken a third time with a less idiotic study strategy and, uh, applied ED to UVA even harder? Or something.

I missed 1 and I'm essentially illiterate. what the hell happened

if the LSAT tested spelling, you'd be fucked. thankfully no one reads those LSAT essays

I think your RC is actually pretty solid.

And.....the elitist jingoism that TLS breeds is alive and well.

i'm saying that the advice was erroneous, info lag or no
the prob was that the wrong conclusion was drawn from limited data
info lag prob exacerbated the problem w/r/t incoming students, but the argument was always wrong no matter what time frame you looked at

so it's not that there is a noticeable difference in how deep firms will go now that was not present then. there was always a difference, it's just that the advice given on tls has gone from being incorrect on that point to being correct

anyways it's a minor point and not worth arguing abt

One point in favor of early TLS is that even though the advice was based on limited data, and some of that advice was wrong, it was one of the only places with remotely realistic advice. In the early years of TLS, the conventional wisdom about law school debt and employment outcomes was totally off base. Now that the media has come around to the idea that the job market is bad and the debt is too high, TLS advice isn't nearly as novel - though it is sometimes more detailed, and its generally tailored to the particular applicant, job hunter, or other poster.

TLS has been very helpful.But I think it does more harm than good.

It provides a place where insecure, bitter students can anonymously make snide remarks. It breeds an elitist, competitive, condescending group of people. Fewer and fewer people are honestly trying to help. There are so many people that, presumably because they lack real social interaction, lurk these forums, gleefully showing people how stupid they are and putting people down for having dumb questions.

THIS IS A FORUM FOR PEOPLE WITH DUMB QUESTIONS. Give it a rest, children.

Idk I think I'm a pretty good mix of genuinely helpful and facetious insecure condescending

You seem to be making an argument that it's not that helpful, not that it does actual harm to people. Being snarked at isn't harmful, it's just annoying and not helpful. Making poor decisions about hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades of your life is harmful.

I love tls. Its advice made me the man I am today, posting from an airbnb drinking cockwine up in the adirondacks on a tuesday night.

Something about cockwine makes it taste better, i'm not sure what the secret ingredient is. . . . Maybe love?

[bsktbll28082]

I like TLS. Convinced me transferring was the best option, even though you lose a lot going to a new school. I didn't really have a lot of lawyer friends before law school to talk about how things work. The guides on TLS for exams and such were helpful.
