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

[proteinshake]

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 schoolwork
3. Thinks lawyers make a lot of money / debt is no worry for lawyers
4. "International law"

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 :\

Sounds like she needs a good ole fashioned TLS reality check

I got one of my friends who got 130K from a T20 to retake. she was letting her URM status go to waste with a sub-par LSAT score!

That's good. Yeah, my friend's GPA isn't that high, she's also not a URM, but I know she can do a lot better than what she has now. I just hope she doesn't settle for fucking sticker at a tier 3..

I have a super low GPA(2.8 LSAC) and worked my way into a full tuition at a T2 in the region I want to work in without what TLS considers a "stellar" LSAT score. She can do it too! Point her towards the TLS hive and give her some reading to do! Unless she wants big law. Then I don't really know how to help her poor soul lol

this girl I know who just graduated from a top 10 university is going to a T3 school and she's a URM. I barely knew her so I didn't say anything, but there's no way she wasn't capable of a T14 school.

Yeah see, honestly I think going to a tier 2 with a full ride is worth it depending on goals. I think in her situation with her goals, a full ride a tier 2 would be sufficient for her. She doesn't want biglaw.

Most people I know applying to law school just want to get in anywhere...so when they ask me what law school I want to get into, not to sound pretentious, I casually reply, anywhere as long as I get in somewhere

Law school is unlike the club..can't be settling

I had this exact mentality going into taking the LSAT. I was just like, "hey if I get into the local T3 I'll be happy to take out 250k to go I mean I'll be a lawyer so it won't matter how much debt I have right?"

Then I found TLS and I am now the most risk/debt averse person I know... In real life of course. I am actually probably less risk/debt averse than most TLSers.


Basically, thank Jesus I found TLS or I would have ruined my life

Everything about choosing a law school is about goals/money.

Fortunately there are a lot of students who don't get that and will be subsidizing our tuition

Haha yup.

My #1 and #2 are a 50th-ish and a T4 who place very well in their (tertiary) market. However, regardless of job availability, I'm banking on each of their low LSAT percentile ranges (75% at 161 and 154) to provide me with some serious $$$. Both schools are also pretty notorious for good scholarships;

I wouldn't know any of this without TLS.

All of my gay friends are fasting for Ramadan in solidarity with the Muslim community in the wake of this past weekend's events.

But I can't bring myself to do it - I don't think I'm strong enough to fast for the next three weeks.

you guys it's only been a WEEK. a WEEEEEEK. i thought i was okay this weekend but now that i'm back to work all i can think about is my score

That's an interesting move. I could definitely see LGBT organizations putting on iftar meals for their local Muslim communities, but I guess I'm a bit surprised people have chosen to fast in solidarity. (Not knockin' it though. That is a solid gesture.)

Fasting is really hard, especially given that Ramadan is in the apex of summer this year. It is tough for even the most able-bodied people.

Me every day right around this time. If it were me I'd throw in some bacon along with the mushrooms and whip up a quick alfredo sauce. Come to think of it, this might be exactly what I do

Yeah if I'm not too lazy I might pick up some pancetta and make a carbonara + shrooms n veggies

But I am pretty lazy so we shall see

This is always my biggest internal dilemma throughout the day. I want to cook and eat delicious food, but I don't want to go 10 minutes out of my way to acquire the requisite ingredients

There's an LSAT question hiding in there somewhere.

"The only way forum_user eats a tasty meal is if he has fresh ingredients that he bought from the store. He only goes to the store on payday, unless the weather is bad. However, today is not payday. Therefore, ________."
Which one of the following best completes the argument?
A. Forum_user does not have any money.
B. The store has no fresh ingredients for forum_user to buy.
C. Forum_user only cooks tasty meals on payday.
D. The weather is bad today.
E. Forum_user will not go to the store today.
