Also on the scholarship note - do you know if the adcomm will also look at applicants' scholarship materials as well as regular admissions ones? Specifically the LORs. I want to have my strongest/most relevant recommender write my RTK letter, but I don't want either a) the adcomm not to see it, or b) to ask her to write me two different letters, which would carry less weight anyway since it would be from the same person.
My understanding from my AnBryce research is that both the scholarship committee and the adcomm get your complete application. What portions of it they read is of course up to their discretion, but that's my understanding. RTK may be different as I haven't looked into that one, but I would expect it to be the same.

Thanks! That's what I found too - just wish I knew whether admissions would read everything or not...

I actually read an interview with Kleinrock where he said that he can't speak for the rest of the committee members but he reads everything.

Ooh great, thank you!

Felt the same about my RTK essay - but good luck! Did you figure out a way to make it different from your PS?

Happy to swap when you finish.

Sampling bias. The survey results do not represent an unbiased sample of the true parameters, because (1) TLS users are not an unbiased sample of law school applicants and (2) the subset of TLS users who took this survey are non an unbiased sample of all TLS users. Even with a large sample size, the survey results may not asymptomatically approach the true value.

I was mostly kidding. And when I was looking at schools, I had it above Columbia. Along with Berkeley and UVA, NYU probably presents the best quality of life. Also, it has good people who care about something other than big law.

Just wait until you get your first Shake Shack

While the overall quality and taste of Shake Shack's burgers are higher than Chick Fil A's chicken sandwiches, I'd argue that Chick Fil A wins the shake and fries categories.
