To be honest, I wonder how Clinton would be faring in this poll. I think most of us were raised in the Clinton boom years (although some argue they are just an after effect of Reagonomics)
I've been looking for a book like this.

The Clinton boom years owe a lot to PAYGO and little to Reaganomics, despite protests from bitter Reagan supporters (my mother included)...

hi guys, can i get some unrelated advice that is not about LS / LSAT?

Should I go to an open house for a grad program I am applying to? I get to meet profs, students, and ask questions etc. Do these in anyway make you look any better in terms of being a candidate for admission or should I base my decision to go strictly upon if I think it'll be worth it?

Its a few hours away and the open hours in only for a couple of hours itself. Weighing my options. This grad program is one that I'd be really interested in doing if LS doesn't happen to work out this year.

Thoughts?

If it were 30 minutes away, then it might be worth it. But whatever advantage you get in admissions (realistically: none) probably isn't worth the time and money spent in traveling that distance.

I'd be interested in seeing where you guys want to practice.

I also like the idea of age and UG major

Yeah I was kinda thinking its probably too far, probably won't go.. nothing I couldn't simply ask over e-mail.

The key is making separate worlds that represent where K can go on either 2 or 5, AM/PM, and the two LL's/two GG's
dont forget the HJ and G /= L
Oh yes, I remembered all of that, but even then, I felt like there were 500 possible diagrams I could set up! Not just, like, 4 or 6. I think we only have about two more weeks of waiting...I will survive.

Ya I know what you mean, I think some of the rules precluded a good number of setups but I didn't really have a strong grasp on that game even though I read the rules right.

This shit needs to stop. Let it go guys. You either got it right or you didn't. Figuring it out a week after the test ended is beyond pointless.

If you would spend time working on your GPA or LSAT instead, then do not go.

Otherwise, in graduate school, your advisor is important! You should check out who is going to give you a leg up on publications and get the inside scoop from students.

This could also backfire, so play the room. Also, graduate school is not going to help you with admissions, unless you are going into computer science or electrical engineering.
