Don't post shit like that in here, thanks
Yeah, I really try to be polite here... so I'm going to politely ask you to go fuck yourself.

Median at CCN usually leads to really good outcomes unless you're a bad interviewer. Maybe callbacks are just happening a little slower this year.
Yes usually. This year is not usual. Half of H doesn't have a single CB right now.
Err. You sure? Everyone I know at a T14 has been killing it. Multiple CBs and multiple offers.

Just found out that Michigan didn't actually book my room for pre-orientation, so I get to spend $160 to stay at a Comfort Inn.

Law school is off to a SWIMMING start.

Does law school start at orientation or with classes? What's the consensus?

At least they reimbursed you! Still a bummer though. :(

So far law school includes getting to sleep in and lots of free food. And tons of reading but the food makes up for it.

Not yet. I'm sure my sunshiney outlook will change once that happens.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
