Do you have a pair of regular shorts and a tee-shirt and some flip-flops?

You'll be fine.

Negative on the flip-flops. The rest I can supply.

Edit: Granted I don't care, I take off my skinny jeans and beat up converse for no one!

Converse are fine.

If I see you wearing skinny jeans, I will punch you square in the pancreas. No one should wear those atrocities.

You must have already assaulted a fair amount of the male undergraduates then

I don't doubt that.

I never really leave the law quad. I don't live near campus.

But seriously - even the hottest girl I've ever seen immediately becomes akin to a troll living under a bridge if she dons those things.

Converse ftw

Missouri and Minnesota are sort of like skinny jeans to me right now.

0L's - briefs suck.

Kiss my ass

That's OK. You have fashion sense at least. I wear nothing but jeans / shorts and cheap blank tee-shirts.

I have a huge collection of lime green and hot pink polos, so grabbing one is like putting on a t-shirt to me. I rarely even iron them anymore.

On the other end of the spectrum, wannabe frat stars who wear ties w/ baseball caps deserve an immediate Chuck Norris to the trachea.

Ok, this settles it...I'll be the guy at orientation in skinny jeans and a button down and tie with a baseball cap on.

You should wear a d-bag cycling cap.

Reasons to go to SMU: dry hands, water conservation, good relationship with home improvement stores, hot, ditzy undergrads. I'm sold.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear that! Bizarre too, since your numbers were high enough. ?!

Good luck with the rest of your cycle!

I'm sorry to drag up something from 10 pages back, but I want to clarify something for the 0L's considering SMU as USNWR just released clerkship data.

*horrible clerkship percentages* 2% compared to UT's 11% Emory's 6% and Vandy's 8% even Houston and Baylor beat it for clerkships.

http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... ngs/page+2

A sample of a few schools.

Percent employed in a judicial clerkship by an Article III federal judge

Emory - 5.7%
IUB - 4.7%
GW - 4.0%
SMU - 4.0%
Tulane - 4.0%
Baylor - 2.6%
Houston - 2.0%

I'm not going to suggest that anybody should come to SMU banking on an Art. III clerkship but your chances at SMU are not horrible relative to other schools you may be considering. They seem to be about the same.

Congrats!!!

Also, I'm shocked that they're in the office during spring break.

still waiting to hear back...tried scrolling through the thread to see what numbers had gotten in but there is wayyyyyy too much for that haha.

163, 3.37, strong resume, currently working in the oil and gas area doing paralegal esque stuff as well as Real Estate. Thoughts?

Full time and non-urm? If yes, I would say WL/in
Part-time and non-urm? If yes, I would say in w/ money
Full time and urm? If yes, I would say in. No idea on money
Part-time and urm? If yes, I would say in w/ money

I'm part-time, and was accepted in early March. Stats are 2.4/164/urm. In w/ 9k per year.
Hope this helps. Just my best guess.
