June 2016 - Waiter's (+170 or bust) GRAY DAY HAS AWOKEN FROM ITS SLUMBER Forum

[Mikey]

Rise and shine waiters - another glorious Monday of twitchy LSAC anticipation and neurotic percentile calculation.

1 week down, hang in there

has it only been one week

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I legitimately thought it might have been two by now.

I had a random dream last night that 1 of my icons had gone gray. I was like 'this is a dream and this doesn't make sense', lol.

God it's like you're inside my head. Me during my "hangover recovery Saturday" laying on a couch and trying to calculate my score:

Modern human interaction creates emotional connections and boundaries that we each percieve through a different lens according to our own personalities. Because of this, it's likely that no one has ever felt the same way about you as you have felt about them - human emotions are intangible, and, consequently, are not qualitative nor quantifiable. Ergo, no one can love you in the way that you love them, and no one can prove that they have ever been, nor will ever be, loved. Everyone dies alone.

"No one can prove that they have ever been, nor will ever be, loved." Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens this conclusion?

A) You cannot tell anyone that you love them unless you truly believe that you love them.

B) Most people believe that, at some point during their lives, they have been loved.

C) Love is the only human emotion borne of interaction with others that has the ability to transcend the individual personality lens.

D) Married partners tell each other they love one another, and often begin their lives together, based on their similar worldview and their belief that they share a similar personality lens.

E) Everyone dies alone.

Was going to say D but they only BELIEVE that they have similar personality lens, so C?

Thanks guy!! Your winnings:

[pretzeltime]

I hear it's somewhat lucrative

According to some blog, it's like 85 bucks for each accepted LR question. But this $ was back in 1997.

Have you replaced bets on the high scorer itt


Eta: english

Nope.

Mmm besides the two freak-a-leaks (in a good way!) in the June study thread that were constantly getting 180s and shit..........

IDK, maybe f_u is gonna win that one.

I think meerkat will ultimately be MVP of the admissions cycle tho, because dictator chic and what not

Also tho I don't remember what people were really PTing at and I'm too lazy to look it up

Jeeves would've been top of my list were it not for the Proctor Incident of 2016.

The Great Proctor Fiasco of 2016; lest we forget. I also predict a strong showing for you if this doesnt screw us.

yeah my money is on f_u winning the LSAT. Meerkat fits the YLS profile so that's solid bet i think.

mikey has a cat tar so he will def get harvard, and henny is hot so he will have a full ride to any school that does interviews.

Whoa that's a ton of pressure, not sure if I can live up to it

Love the vote of confidence though guys. But I think somewhatferal is going to be the winner, the guy seems like a natural. Based on what it was looking like in the study group, we're all in for pretty good cycles

I bet my dude henny he gets all da women. We'll see about Harvard as well I might turn their full ride + stipend down to go and fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a turtle.

Awwwww...you're awesome to think so. I sincerely doubt it however.

My GPA reveals a stubborn, 20-year-old-version-of-me's obsession with graduating as an electrical engineer instead of admitting DiffEQ, Thermo, etc. were going to be the death of me. So, I'm playing from behind the 8-ball. My money is on F_U or Jeeves taking the admissions MVP award.

Dictator-chic goes hard, but probably not hard enough.

oh hey fellow engineering tradeschool prole.

my life is too boring for me to go mvp. f_u seems to be the favorite for now.

but also this is just the june waiters. co 2020 applicant thread should be coming up in a month or so and will prob be filled with some annoyingly successful people.

not to mention the people who are way too fucking cool to even bother with lawl school forums. who are those people and how do I become one

Naww, law school forums definitely up your cool.

Internal cringe every time I meet someone who is applying to law school and [any one of the following]:

1. Barely studied for the LSAT / applying with < 150
2. Doesn't know employment statistics or is applying to a notoriously bad law school
3. Thinks lawyers make a lot of money / debt is no worry for lawyers
4. "International law"

oh yeah. THOSE people are naht cool.

I was referring more to the URM Rhodes Scholar who cured a disease and plays in a metal band and they're just chilling because they have it so in the bag

Oh shit whaddup?!

Yea I'm sure there's going to an Olympian/Rhodes Scholar who is founder/manager of a non-profit providing fresh water to Syrian Refugees and who received a 177 LSAT and a 3.95 GPA from MIT majoring in Aero Eng.

Those kinds of people are awesome though and just being around them makes you a better person. So, all love, no hate.

I have a friend who did very very poorly on the LSAT and is on the wait list at a tier 3 school. I've told her that her best bet is to just retake the LSAT to get MUCH better options but she says the only way she will retake is if she gets rejected from the WL. I've tried guys, but she just won't listen. I've even told her that, although I'm not the best with the LSAT, I'm willing to help her out with it as much as I can. Still nothing though :\

Yea I'm with Henny on this one. The shared knowledge on here is absurdly awesome. I can only imagine the common mistakes my wife and I would've fallen into had we not started reading/learning from TLS early. So many people are really flying blind, in the clouds when it comes to this career field.

Sounds like she needs a good ole fashioned TLS reality check
