Is TLS no longer bullish on WUSTL? Forum

[Outis Onoma]

I had a great time at wustl as a 1l. None of the scandals affected me, and I made some really great relationships with faculty. But the atmosphere suffers from an inferiority complex, and not everyone is as chill and down to earth as, e.g., sublime and has the nerves to just reap massive benefits at zero cost. I think sublime's class actually didn't have the same atmosphere the same as class of '17 has. Anyway, I'm just trying to put out there that wustl can be pretty cool if you keep cool. If you are at all a striver, though, the allure of an easy transfer will get you damn near every time if you're around the right group of people.

Just got back from the budweiser factory, so this might be incoherent. Gonna go eat an imo's pizza now, ttyl.

Provel 'cheese' is another reason to transfer out.

I heard someone in your section brought government cheese to a legal writing party, george

I think it's becoming very obvious that WUSTL is a fantastic choice for people who couldn't quite get t14 to take a full ride for a year and then transfer to the school they wanted in the first place

Don't really understand the benefit of transferring to a T14 and paying shitloads. Not like you're going to get the benefit of a T14 at oci. Employers are still going to see you as a WUSTLer.

Yeah I was gonna say you could still strike out as a transfer, but if you're not getting interviews from WUSTL, at least you'll get 12+ interviews at a T14 with good firms.

Yeah there's a decent chunk of people (~top 1/4 and below, and also not from St. Louis) whose best bet is probably to transfer to the best lottery school they can get into and then drop out if they strike out.
