It would be so nice to actually get one of these emails....
Lol let's just hope that you get the important emails, like section assignments.
Can't wait to see which of you poor bastards get 9am Konig

This is kind of a random question (also slightly awkward), but I've heard a ton of times that 1Ls should ask 2Ls/3Ls about old outlines/books/etc. my question is: are 2Ls normally open to these requests or am I going to have to start doing people's laundry?

"doing people's laundry"

Is that what kids are calling it these days??

Depends on the relationship you have with the 2L/3L. Some people are naturally more open to it than others.

My advice is don't put the cart in front of the horse. Develop a solid relationship with 2Ls and 3Ls first. Don't think about the outlines or anything. You won't actually need the outlines until October at the earliest. Focus on building the relationship and the outlines will come naturally. Their outline only helps you for that one class during that one semester. A strong relationship yields long-term benefits.

Also...building a relationship with them first will cue you in on whether you even want to use their outlines. This isn't to say you should base your relationship on who you think has the best materials...some of the best mentors did poorly and some of the best exam takers make shitty mentors.

ETA: New 1L's are given an opportunity to sign up for an official mentorship program where the school pairs you up with a mentor. Those 2Ls and 3Ls will probably expect you to ask for their outlines, so that's a free space on the bingo card for you guys.

Your best shot is probably just listing off the names of everyone ITT that is attending WUSTL every night before you go to sleep. Seems to have worked out well for you before, Arya Stark.

I have to say the WUSTL representation on TLS is completely disproportionate to its class size, we have the 3rd most people in the TLS class of thread and with a couple more will break into 2nd behind Harvard. If there were even more last year that's ridiculous, did you guys ever have a TLS soiree where you all brought a printout of your 'tar?

Now I have to figure out who's who in the facebook group...so far all I have figured out is scotty and I think wittyhandle.

haha we had a ton of posters in the thread, but a lot of them ended up going to different schools. The actual number of TLSers in my class is probably less than you guys if we're strictly talking about active users. There are a lot of WUSTL lurkers though, or kids that have posted a handful of times

You're way behind the pace. 2016 was on page 371 by this point.

I'm excited you are coming to wustl, pmt. You were the first poster I found funny in the December waiting thread, and half the lounge routinely bemoans your current lack of posting therein.

Lol, there was a time when that stuff was coming up as a recommended "Customers Who Bought this Item also Bought:" on Amazon when you clicked on LSAT prep materials because it had been hawked around these boards so much.
