That sounds good to me! I'm still not sure if I'm going to ASW, but I'll decide in a week or two. The ASW for the 3 schools I'm interested in are all on the same weekend.Hikkomorist wrote: Much appreciated. Anyone interested in doing their 4-for-3, AYCE special on Thursday?

Nah. No request for interview. I'm pretty below 25% so I'm not really expecting an acceptance but it'd be a nice surprise.LawsRUs wrote:Have you had your interview?robertrulez wrote:Is the fact that I haven't heard anything back a good sign?

Second. (LST trap school shilling etc etc)scottidsntknow wrote:Not to put a damper on things, but I'd just caution people that are struggling to get in to possibly reevaluate things a bit. If you haven't gotten in yet and you think the reason is because your numbers are low/borderline, obviously getting in here would be a great accomplishment for you, but if you're that borderline then $$$ probably won't be in the cards for you, and I can't recommend many schools without any $$$ if you are debt-financing your legal education.
Nobu's is indeed awesome but also far. I hung out with a bunch of Japanese students in undergrad and that was always the favorite, but also an undertaking (basically impossible without a car).futago wrote:On the sushi issue, I have heard that "Nobu's" is the most authentic place (it certainly was the most authentic I've been too here). It is in the very small "china town" on Olive.
Depends on how much obviously. If those stats are real, you should be retaking the LSAT.itskevin wrote:So is debt-financing WUSTL necessarily a bad thing? (I'm planning on doing this for a good part of the three years)
Yeah for sure. I'm one of the more pro Wash U people on TLS, and even I think coming here with a small/no scholarship is a really bad idea.itskevin wrote:So is debt-financing WUSTL necessarily a bad thing? (I'm planning on doing this for a good part of the three years)
Yea I mean with no money you're looking at over 200k+. I'm not even particularly debt-averse but WUSTL doesn't give you the best chances of paying that back. Despite the ~30% going into "biglaw," you really need to be top 10% to be "biglaw secure" here and that's a huge gamble.LET'S GET IT wrote:Yeah for sure.

With your GPA you should have a full tuition scholarship to WUSTL. If your LSAT score isn't good and you haven't taken it all three times then you should go ahead and take 2 of the 3 LSAT's on offer (I'd recommend June and September so you can apply earlier, but I don't think early applications matter a ton). We're talking the difference of 150,000 dollars less debt (which would really be like 300,000k you'll end up paying..if you get a job that can) or being able to go to a school where median means you'll likely get big law.itskevin wrote:So is debt-financing WUSTL necessarily a bad thing?

Debt-financing at any T20 is a pretty bad idea but especially so at WUSTL because A) their employment numbers are on the lower end of the T20 and B) if you get a ~167+, regardless of your GPA, you're assured a massive scholarship offer. That really isn't a difficult score to get with enough study.itskevin wrote:So is debt-financing WUSTL necessarily a bad thing? (I'm planning on doing this for a good part of the three years)
