In the anxiety of waiting I was like if I don't do great I could always do an accelerated MBA if I have to delay LS a year. TTTT MBA is only like 10k, it wouldn't help me much but at least I'd feel useful for the year and I could pay tuition cash since I could work through it

How do others feel about possibly bringing one of their four-legged loved ones on their journey to law school?
I've contemplated it.

Without a doubt bringing mine. They're anxiety relievers!

Yeah. It's funny how law school tuition is uniform almost everywhere regardless of career prospects at the school. Going for a computer science degree has generally been appealing to me if not law school. They say philosophy majors like the courses and that kind of work.

I was thinking that too but then I kind of thought about the fact that its kind of a necessary evil. Think about how much more saturated the the market would be if TTTT JDs were cheap.

My UG major was originally comp sci, I changed it when I started taking calc 1 and realized how screwed I was.

I think you have to ask a mod to reset it, Tea.

I was a philosophy/biology major and I think about other career paths all the time as well as dual degree programs. In fact, I was reading part of this thread on here today.
I worked in web development and really liked it, but I don't find the programming/technical side interesting at all or else I would've done the CS thing. Being in house counsel for a startup or tech company would be 180, though.

GRAY DAY POSTING GUIDELINES
wtrc wrote:For lurkers that will all start posting when icons turn:

BEFORE ICONS TURN:
1) Don't say they have if they haven't. You'll be banned and endure TLS grouphate and groupshaming forever.
2) Don't discuss questions/answers til scores are out.

WHEN ICONS TURN:
1) Post and screenshot.

WHEN SCORES START COMING OUT IN WAVES:
1) If you are on the first wave, congrats! Help us all out by posting the curve (how many incorrect go get a 170). Screenshot it, especially if you aren't a regular poster here.

There always seems to be some vets with about 15 posts that decides to troll everyone and says the curve is -8 or -9, without posting a screenshot. Causes temporary freakout. This isn't funny or cute, and will endure TLS grouphate, groupshaming, and banning forever.

2) There are certain questions that were really tough, and likely many on this site struggled with. Posting the answers to these would be helpful to those waiting for scores with little else to do other than freak others out in distress.

3) There are often people that have 0 posts, and make their first post "omg 180 easiest test ever woohoo." They then disappear forever. Fuck those people. If you are a 180 scorer, stick around. Or at least screenshot.

THANKS AND GOOD LUCK

Does it matter? They're imminent.

My applications might not be done until Jan 6th

Checking in...haven't been stressed about it but I just finally emerged from my New Years Eve alcohol haze and was hit by abject terror.

Time to start drinking again!

Actual apps take no time at all. You seem like you're in pretty good shape.

Thanks! That's a relief.

sorry guise. i was just riffing on the petty debate of gray vs. grey that's taken place in every waiting thread i've seen.

but a night of debauchery can change more than a man's spelling of a colour, so i can't accept your input NR
