LOL @ Veteran. Here's a little TLS rant to entertain folks:
Everyone in TLS land is guessing. Status here seems to confer for several reasons: tenure of membership, real life status attained (0L, 1-3L, working), and level of activity. There's really nothing conclusive about any of that to suggest that anyone really knows what they are talking about. I share a lot because I've applied to law schools thrice (and done everything one does in law school applications except interview for AnBryce/RTK) and have consumed enough information here to have a comfort with conventional wisdom that I can adjust to differing circumstances. So, basically, I can infer from my direct experience, and work as a conduit of the wisdom of a considerable crowd. That makes my guesses right more often than someone who has less experience in the admissions/scholarship/school choosing process, but that's really not the same thing as knowing what I'm talking about.
I also will not suddenly become an expert on the day I become a 1L or the day I graduate law school. I'll just have more anecdotal information to inform my energetic guessing.
