Have any of you finalized the schools you're applying to? I'm sure I'm applying to HYSCCN, Virginia, Duke, and Northwestern, but I'm less sure about Berk, Penn, Michigan, Cornell, and Georgetown (probably going to include Cornell and Michigan due to generous merit aid reputations). Anyone have any thoughts or insights?

Where do you want to end up? What are your career goals at this point?

Depending on grades and getting more direction once I'm in school, considering regulatory biglaw (have relevant WE and super strong ties to DC), bigfed (again, relevant WE and ties to DC), or JAG. Outside of jobs that really only exist in DC, don't care where I end up as long as I'm employed.

I'm thinking Cornell is worth an application if only as a pawn in my overthought Machiavellian scholarship negotiation strategy.

I just wish I had put this one up before we had the banner contest...

Your sacrifice is much appreciated! May the law school admission gods look on you favorably

Is anyone willing to review a draft of my essay for NYU's Root-Tilden-Kern scholarship? Happy to reciprocate with your PS, DS, or scholarship essays.

Not writing one, but a page sounds right to me.

On another note, has anyone else seen this and really wanted to buy it? Like, I'm probably going to buy this.

Thank god. Nerf and other toys like them were getting pretty weak there for a while. I'll be even happier when they decide to bring back this bad boy:

I used to have a whole collection of these, including one with the bipod legs on the end

Nothing says childhood like a super soaker that could make someone bleed.
