Is it better than HOC? Suits isn't on Netflix, right? Hulu?

Not the same at all - suits is light and fun. HOC is dark and fun.

Suits is on canadian netflix, and I'd be shocked if there was something we have that you guys don't.

American Netflix doesn't have it. p sure there's a way for us to access Canadian Netflix though; read it online somewhere

Agreed re HOC. apples and oranges

J just use hola for chrome

The sad thing is I've been coming to these forums probably longer than any of y'all. Since 2005/2006.

Still not at 100. But to be fair I have an old acct circa 2010 that has 180 posts.

You're so close!! Go post 'retake' on every what are my chances thread you can find!

Just kidding........

Thanks for the tip. I dropped the R-bomb on like seven people in the last 3 days.

I'm done with my PS and DS, I'm more worried about my LOR's. Have two lined up, but no telling when i'll get them.

[Toby Ziegler]

I, too, just started my PS and DS. But I have all my LOR's, transcripts, and other knick-nacks in/together. But I haven't even thought about my 250 yet.

How many optional/school-specific essays are people doing? One for each, only for some...?

I am going to do "Why X" for the usual suspects (UVa, UPenn, UMich, Duke). Hopefully I will get an LSAT score that puts me into the range where YP is a factor and I will be able to offset it with good "Why X" essays, but mainly I want as many options as possible and don't want to regret not writing them at the end of the cycle.

[gentlemanscholar]

I am using the same PS for everyone (with a slight modification for NYU), and then optional essays for those that have them. If I do a DS, then I can pretty much spin that into one of the optional essays for Mich and Penn.

Does UVA have optionals? or do people submit the "Why UVA?" as an addendum?

The Why UVa is submitted as an addendum.

Anyone else applying this cycle with a family? I know, for me at least, that weighs heavily (obviously) into my decisions.

Husband - no kids, at least not in the next 10 years, probably. I'm sure kids are a whole other level of consideration, but my decisions are revolving around his career opportunities too.

For example, a $20,000 per year scholarship at a school in a city where he'll have trouble finding a professorship would be a worse option financially than sticker in a city where he's got a job lined up.

I hear you on that. My wife and I have 2 in diapers and sometimes I think it would be hard to accept an offer to Columbia/NYU simply because I want my wife to feel comfortable taking the kids to the park (or whatever) whenever she wants. Maybe I will include that info as an addendum in my SLS app.

ETA: My mentor in UG turned down YLS in the early 90's to go to SLS simply because New Haven was so sketchy when he applied and he was married with kids.

Interestingly, in my extensive TLS lurking, I've found relatively few married women applying to LS compared to married men. I wonder what's up with that?

it's the patriarchy, man

I haven't noticed, but I haven't payed that much attention. Maybe married women are less likely to frequent forum boards?

I'm wondering if the type of girl who applies to law school is less likely to get married before law school? I mean I sure as hell wasn't expecting to get married before I was 30. Best decision ever though.

I agree being married is the best. And I think you may be right about the typical female law school applicant. After all it seems to me that kids are graduating younger and younger (20, 21). And there's not a lot of people who are ready or want to get married at that age.

[dallas0013]

I'm married, and it's a bigtime factor. Likely would have kids somewhere in the middle of the 3 years of law school, so staying close to family and places where my wife could work are imperatives.
It's a heck of an upside, though, that a fair bit of cost-of-living debt can be minimized by having a second (only, I guess) income.

For any school that will accept it obviously not HYSCCN though right? No YP there, at least not that I've seen on LSN... Anyone can correct me re: CCN?

I'm doing them for Penn, Mich, Duke, and UVA. Also doing the Georgetown 250.
