Ew. Shake shack is seriously the grossest. I have a friend who always wants it after drinking. I can only eat the fries there.

My pre-law advisor knew nothing. She would just refer me to my school's website, which listed really basic stuff.

For mine, the advisor listed by LSAC hasn't done it in years but was kind enough to offer advice (170+ and go to the state flagship), the new one was on maternity leave, and the temp replacement thought I was asking for help on the LSAT.

It also took more than a month to get a Dean's Certification because they had to run it by legal first.

Ten here. My now wife was four months pregnant when I graduated.

This is genius. This last week at work has really, really made me excited to go back to school.

Are dean's certificates required by all schools? Some of the local schools im looking at makes no mention.

Who's excited for the Democratic primary debate tomorrow? I fantasize every night before bed about Sanders and Clinton going at it. I hope tomorrow delivers.

If well-to-do parents are footing the bill, why not? Can think of other ways I'd like to spend my $$$ than pay for 3+ years of extra tuition though

I had... issues... in undergrad. The ten years weren't by design.

Yeah I can't think of any way for 7 years of college to be financially viable, besides having rich parents. If you're not working, that could close in on a MILLION dollars of inescapable debt, and if you are working to pay for it, it's probably some shitty, low-paying job, so why not just finish school and get a real job?

Really? The fries are the only things I dislike from there!

For me, first four years were free (scholarship), then tuition was only about 5k/year. Worked full-time for the last six years (with on-and-off enrollment).

They're not really great, but palatable when intoxicated. The burgers are like Grade D meat, though. (I don't know if they actually are, but they're comparable to McDonalds).

I haven't looked into the quality of their meat, but I could eat it every day! I think it's the way they cook it, since I don't really like MvDonalds.

I wish I could major in picwhoring. I think it'd really prepare me for the rigors of law school.

I had a friend who took almost 10 years. In the middle, he had to go back to his native country to serve the 2 year mandatory military service. Plus he had to go to a couple of CC's because of transferring and stuff.
