speaking of getting drunk, anyone have exciting weekend plans?
I've got another date date with my personal statement, and so far, I can't say I really like her

Nope. I'm done with school after LS.

My UG record is abysmal -- I can't put together worthwhile LoR from professors. I'd consider a stretching my family's Ph.D record to a third generation, but it would almost certainly be within history or polisci, and the job market there is... eh.

Maybe some years down the road.

sorry i meant if anyone doesn't get into LS -- applying to grad school as fall back type thing.

In the states you guys MUST do the GRE for grad school or am I mistaken? You Americans love your standardized tests.

In the States at least, grad school isn't exactly a good backup for anyone not in STEM.

Yeah I think it helps employment opportunities here in Canada, however the degree to which could be debated. I have a legitimate interest in doing an M.A. so I feel like it'd be better than a year doing nothing / working in a crappy job if I didn't get into LS.

Anybody applying to any dual-degree programs?

Would be interested to hear. I'm considering going to the SF one, but also don't want to take time off.

I left work early to go. I scored fee waivers, but you could also just email admissions. Also, the swag was lame compared to college job fairs. The handouts that the law schools give might help with an essay on why you want to attend a certain law school...you could also just google. If you had any specific questions, you could obviously ask there.

You can get fee waivers for top schools by emailing admissions?!

To be clear, I'm a white male with decent income.

I've considered JD/MBA, but I have a decent amount of undergrad business/real world experience so I'm considering LLM banking/finance

Yes, merit waivers. Politely email them, notifying them of your LSAT score, GPA and LSAC account # asking for a waiver. Lots of schools will give them to you, some won't.
