Slowly. Not looking forward to this argument tomorrow (today). Haven't even bothered with reading for class either, but I was already cold-called last week so at least that can't happen again.

I took the LSAT 4 years ago and cannot remember what RC feels like.

Maybe. It's kind of interesting.

No. Not in that class, anyway.

This requires a long, thoughtful response. I do not have time for a long, thoughtful response. Ask me again when I have free time. Maybe in October. :|

But I like it for the most part.

:lol:

Although I don't understand. You're not the only one but so many 1Ls keep saying they don't have free time and it seems weird to me. Maybe I'm just doomed for median pwnage though. /shrug

You realize I'm a 2L, right?

And I did this to myself: I'm an officer in 5 clubs, on Law Review, and doing moot court.

Oh wow, I'm terrible. Yeah, most 2Ls I know are exceptionally busy or aren't. Congrats though on LR and MC!

TBH, if you were a 1L, I'd say what I said still holds. But as a 2L I'll grant an exemption :P

Indeed. Having experienced both, I had more free time this time during 1L. 1Ls should not be working themselves so hard at this point.

Sorry for off-topic conversation.

Vastly? No. I still think it's a great and underrated school, and we had a lot of fun.

But my position is more nuanced since I have almost an entire extra year of experience here now, and I've gone through OCI. I can answer specific questions or analyze people's situations better than giving a general why Cornell though, since I have so much I can potentially say.

How many schools are you guys planning on applying to? Even accounting for fee waivers for the bulk of the list, that $28 reporting fee adds up fast :shock: . Now I'm trying to whittle the list based on two things: (1) if accepted, would I actually go here? (2) this one's harder -- if accepted, will this school be strategic for scholarship negotiations later on?

T-13, still deciding on whether or not to shoot a hopeless app to Y.

Not knocking Georgetown, I just know it's not super generous with aid and that's mostly why I'm applying to lower T-14 anyway.

I'm applying to 9- so all the way down the list to duke/mich minus chicago and berk.

I hate Chicago.

Edit: I may reconsider if I get a fee waiver but I'm not soliciting one.

Chicago gave good $$ this past year if I'm not mistaken, could be good for bargaining power.

T14 minus Y, S, and Berk. Still not sure whether to dip below T14 and add Wash U or Vanderbilt. Depends on how I feel about the possibility of getting rejected/waitlisted everywhere else. And it would bring my total number of apps to 13, which is just asking for trouble.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
