Never liked UNC or Duke, so the transition to being a complete UNC hater shouldn't be too hard for me

I haven't 100% decided yet, but I am pretty sure I'll attend Duke if they give me any level of scholarship (interview end of month). They are only T14 that is near my home state of FL and has good weather. The class is small. Employment stats are great. The campus looks like a castle. It's prestigious. Everything about Duke is awesome.

Also I feel better about myself when I see my future classmates went to such prestigious undergrads.
Where did u undergrad?

Also do u still play WoW?
UF and yes albeit casually.

Since everyone on TLS is so debt averse, I figured 4Lokos would be popular. Cheapest way to get drunk for sure

Bish what's your gamertag lets gooooo. I play KOH primarily on GoW4, but if you're ever looking for a squad hit me up. My gamertag is CarnivorouSwarm

*Ahem*. Anyway.

Got WL recently (167/3.85) and trying to put together an LOCI. I started a new job in mid December that wasn't featured much in my app so my LOCI spends a good deal of time focusing on the job's law related attributes and highlighting that it's assured me that a legal career is right for me. At the beginning of the letter I tied my personal statement to Duke's stated dedication to community service and how that made me feel like it was a good fit for me and would make me proud to attend, and also name dropped James Boyle and stated an interest in IP, and noted an appreciation for his newest book. Anyone have tips or thoughts on LOCIs for Duke? Anyone (current students?) potentially willing to give a once over on my draft and offer feedback?

so I don't not really need to do any prep for this interview as long as I know answers to Why Duke, Why Law, An ability to discuss stuff on my resume, and give extra financial info if I want to, right?

I mean I've obviously never met the guy and would have no way of knowing that, I've just read his work, so it seems like it'd be a bit weird to make reference to his nickname as though I've met him in person.

I forgot about and missed my scholarship Skype interview. Emailed Dean Hoye about it with a semi-plausible explanation (moved to Asia within the last two weeks). How badly do you think I messed up my chances of scholly dollies?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
