This. And I'm not good enough at math for finance.

Which is why I'm going to be a tax lawyer. :shock: :shock:

Nothing is more important than your grades.
In the legal profession doesn't succesful = at least relative wealth?
Success = (Money + Prestige)^(How many times the lottery was won)/# of Diseases Acquired Whoring Oneself Out to Get there^(# of times struck by lightning)
I was going to say, hey you can't divide by zero!....

.....but then I realized that anything to the zeroth power is 1, not zero. 10th grade algebra FAIL.

None of the above are legitimate reasons for going to law school. If you attend because of any of them you will be miserable, in both law school, and when you start practicing.

That's the type of douche you don't want to hold. It's a type you want to tug around 40 feet behind you at all times.
Shhhh...isn't it time for your nap?

MW
Are you asking me if I want a blowjob?
Sorry, I'm not, and isn't that getting to be a little inappropriate now? What, are you threatened that I'm a woman? Is that why you're resorting to sexual references?

To MW: Chill. Seriously. Obtain prescription for THC or one of the popular benzos for anxiety. Take said prescription. You will like us all a lot more, and will think we are a lot funnier, status-post "high." It will also make your rejection from HYS more palatable, just FYI.
Shhhh...go write some more sentence fragments- it'll make you feel better. And if Harvard is a rejection, then I guess I'll have to settle for Stanford...awww shucks lol.

Can I just ask why you feel the need to type MW at the end of every post? Well I completely understand that it can sometimes be difficult for someone to remember their own initials, you do know your screen name is displayed beside all your posts? Because honestly, the rest of us know where display names are located, so I can only imagine that placing your initials at the end of every post fulfills some need of yours.

Despite what I may have said earlier, I include "MW" as a suffix to my posts because it gives them a nice, tidy end point. Psychologically, it is the same reason why I don't really like convertibles: the car looks incomplete. I hope that answers your question :wink:.

Dear everyone,

Please do not give MW attention. She (?) will respond to every. single. one. of your posts with a snide, self-serving remark, which you will feel compelled to refute. This will escalate into a full-scale argument which will quickly degenerate into baseless mud-slinging and name-calling. The thread will be locked, and everyone will come away feeling dumber for having ever entered into the discussion. This process was repeated several times yesterday, bringing into question MW's continued (undesirable?) presence on these forums. Just a heads-up.

You know, I actually see myself as a crusader (crusaderette?) of a sort, against douchebags, and hence, a positive influence on these forums. If I am wrong, I admit it; the problem is people who are sometimes wrong but are too egotistical to concede a point. I've already started not replying to every stupid post, so your proclamation above is/was really unnecessary.

The best you can do in my response is to point out that my posts on an internet forum regularly use sentence fragments?

You are the reason, BTW, that LS admissions should use interviews.

I'm actually legitimately curious. And I really want to know what she looks like. Maybe it's just morbid curiosity on my end, but I think it would explain a lot. Hopefully someone at HCCN finds her out next year.

Generally the guys who are this awful are either really really attractive and stupid or really really ugly. Given her LSAT, I'm guessing she's an objective 3.
