UCLA c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014) Forum

[MnM22]

Clerkships have nothing to do with the fact that a) UCLA has a higher LSAT median and b) is part of a broke-ass system where money doesn't grow on trees.

Plus, I'll note that you come across a little entitled ITT. I have similar numbers to yours, I'm non-URM, and they offered me 6 figures & change. No offense to you personally, as I don't know you, but perhaps whichever adcomm read your file just didn't love what you wrote.

Library is open, hunteys! People reading like it's finals week!

I know this has been mentioned, but what seems to be the general outcome with negotiating scholarships by discussing offers from USC?

Congrats to UCLA on moving to 16

They needed some good PR after all that racism! For real, though.

URM here

[cron1834]

If I were URM I would def be asking some hard questions before I paid any deposits ...

(I'm not saying shit should get a pass from non-URM, just noting that institutional/cultural privilege is a real thing)

The whole thing was totally blown out of proportion IMO thanks to people like you

-0L considering UCLA

Thanks for the insight. Needed that. Be sure to share these deep, deep thoughts with the girl who was called "n*gger."

Excuse the first post, as I usually lurk (got in a while back, but still follow this thread occasionally), but the last few pages made me lol

cron1834, get over yourself brudder. you've been making some pompous/catty posts here. Nobody gives two shits about your 6 figure offer

Anyway I'm excited to hear about how the admitted students reception went today

[Hitchensian]

Well this thread sure got interesting.

[Estreetshuffler]

Are the new rankings out yet? How can you tell they are #16 now?

The guy accused me of hating on UCLA because I was dinged. I wasn't. I don't think the offer is anything special, but clearly I don't have ding-resentment/admit envy.

Edit - I am proud that I enticed someone's first post.

[cron1834]

That said, I admit I'm getting us off-topic and apologize for that. And I apologize to Samumenco for being unnecessarily prickish.

(At least I'm an actual applicant and not currently attending another school, though. That would be a true douche-move.)

Clarification for Everyone wondering what this guy is doing posting in the UCLA thread. ^^ That is called Sarcasm.

Thanks for the insight. Needed that. Be sure to share these deep, deep thoughts with the girl who was called "n*gger."

The overall issue was actually brought up briefly during a small Q&A session during the admitted students day today and the current students echoed what NYC2012 was saying. It's definitely blown out of proportion when the media caught hold of it and though it is a bit of a unfortunate situation, you can't let the actions of a few extremist speak for the entire community. A large majority of the student panelists didn't even know what "the situation" was, and most of the ones that did haven't noticed it affect day-to-day life whatsoever (there were URMs in the panel, if you were wondering). I'm completely positive that racist remarks happen at every single other university, we just don't necessarily hear about it. I guess the question is how many of these "extremists" exist and whether it will be significantly distracting to your law studies. Not sure if that helps at all.

There are isolated incidents everywhere. At Texas, we had an incident where people from highrise dorms were allegedly tossing bleach filled balloons onto blacks and hispanics below. I don't think anyone ever was caught but I would surely not say that it's something normal (being in Austin for 5 years as a URM).
