Does bar passage rate get considered? BU has a higher passage rate.

It's probably not too late to apply, tbh. However, I think they're probably more local placement than anything so hopefully you want to live/work in Boston

Based on LST, they place over 50% in Massachusetts and around 15% in NY.

Edit: Not impossible, but I do think a lot of biglaw firms in NYC pull from more local schools (NYU, CLS, etc) and top schools, just based on what I saw on ABT's law firm directory top schools thing.

No problem. Also, here's a link to the ABT thing I was talking about because my description was rough: http://abovethelaw.com/law-firms/proskauer-rose-llp/

I'm referring to the top law schools by headcount. You can put in any firm you're interested in and it'll show you their top schools, though I wish there was more numerical details.

Brought the debate home to my SO.

They say cake...I say pie. This might be the end of us.

New poll, would you stay with your SO if you disagreed on what cheesecake was.

It's largely people who haven't done the research. They're all "it's cheeseCAKE" and we're all "yes...but you see these fine wikipedia pages I've linked you to will definitively prove that cheesecake is a pie"

Some people just don't want to listen to reason. SMH.

Most of the T14s haven't given out their scholarships yet though, correct? I've only got an offer from Mich so far. I think Cornell is the only other one I've heard about people getting money from, but I haven't sent them my tax returns yet so that's on me.

From the Washington post, September of this past year:

"Specifically, is cheesecake really cheese pie?

This is very much like the nerdy question about whether a tomato is a vegetable or a fruit. Everyone calls it a vegetable, but that is only because, in general, everyone is an idiot. A tomato plant has flowers and its edible part has seeds inside; ergo, it is a fruit. More shockingly, so are cucumbers. Squash! Olives! Eggplants!

Definitions define. What defines a cake as opposed to a pie is the presence of flour in the filling. Cheesecakes have no flour. Cheesecake is really cheese pie.

What makes this so surprising, of course, is that cheesecake brazenly declares itself a cake but just plain isn’t. Like the way the toilet in a 7-Eleven calls itself a “bathroom.”"
