I think a poll seeing who is a reapplicant could be interesting.
I know there's a good handful of us.

You are too??

Is this your second or third go?

ETA wait I knew that.

My supervisor just had too much coffee and now has come up with no fewer than ten projects for my interns in the span of half an hour, and I have to assign/explain/supervise them. And it's making me too busy to get my own work done.

I might make that gif my new avatar, unless someone finds me a legit Frasier one.

I hope you find one! Your current one creeps me out a bit

I think you made a really smart move and I'm excited to see what this cycle has in store for you

You have to watch Frasier a bit in order to fully appreciate it. You seem like you have the GIF game on lock, would you mind help me out, darling?

Just curious -- I have one letter of recommendation in progress from my favorite professor who I'm very close with. For my second one, I've asked the program director at a summer camp for the top high school junior girls across the state, which I attended in high school and have been a counselor at for three years. She knows my personality and work ethic really well, so I definitely wanted her as opposed to the part-time employers I've had throughout high school and college. Should I get a third recommendation from a professor or will these two (which I anticipate will be very strong LORs) be enough?

My numbers are 164 LSAT, 3.67 GPA and applying to schools like UNC, UGA, Wake, William and Mary.

You should have two academic LORs, especially if you are still in UG.

I only have two LORs don't worry! I said F#$@ the employer letter.

Only one of mine is academic, oops. But I'm confident they are both stellar, plus LORs don't matter too much, so let's hope I'm fine!

I.... I was about to post making fun of you for not being able to quote properly, then I realized it was me all along.

Why do you think the United States utilizes a triad in its nuclear strategy? Why is the three legged stool so great? Why are three legged races so much fun? Why is the tricycle so beloved? Why is the triangle the strongest shape? Three LORs is the way to go.
