You don't need to worry at all. They are very nice. It's more like a friendly chat.

Agreed. As long as you can answer Why law/WUSTL it's pretty simple. She spent more time trying to sell the school to me than she did asking me questions.

Do people go alone to ASW or is it normal to bring a spouse/friend/parent?

Bringing a parent is seen as kind of uncool. I brought my spouse though, and it was very cool. I don't know about bringing a friend; it could go either way.

Parent is kinda weird. Cut the cord.

Yea I judged hard. Even worse if the kid mentioned that their parent was/is a lawyer.

Haha noted, I was planning on bringing my SO but was just curious whether having a +1 was normal or not

Ouch.... so what is ASW, and which TLSers are going with me? Just gonna start there haha

Edit: I was saying ouch for the original asker because I kind of feel for them

2nd edit deleted.

SO or something isn't weird, but if you do bring them/someone try to make sure you branch out and meet people. Some of the people I met at ASW are still really good friends of mine, and I somewhat randomly came from the east coast and slept on a TLSers couch for the weekend and now that person is one of my best friends here, and I'm sure that would be different if we didn't become friends over ASW.

ASW=Admitted students weekend

You come, they show off the school, woo you, etc.

Ok this sounds 10x better than what I was planning

Would you recommend WUSTL for someone who is interested in working in CA?

Thanks!

CA biglaw? It happens, but it's tough. It would have to be a unique circumstance for WUSTL to be your best option, but that's not to say it can't be. We have tons of people here from the West Coast, many of which are trying to go back after school. You would need strong grades for sure. It's tough, but doable.

If you look on the big WASHU thread, which I think is listed in the OP, there are a couple regular posters there who went here, and got biglaw in CA. You may want to ask your question there, or PM one of them.

I just got the email about the shirt and signing up for them to connect you with a faculty member/student/alumni, so if you were admitted recently (like on Friday), I would check your email!

I agree that it'd be a unique circumstance. West Coast placement is an area we really struggle in, and while the school is trying to improve it, I wouldn't personally choose to come here in most circumstances for that. If you're getting into WUSTL with $$$, then USC/UCLA are probably options as well and I'm not sure I'd come here over there even though I love my school so much. To be honest, I'm surprised how many people in my class are from CA (second biggest state represented, only a few less than MO) and hopefully we can get them all back there in decent positions.

Also if you're not from Cali, I would definitely not recommend it. Also iirc at least one of the people LGI mentioned was IP, so I think that's a factor that changes things.

Did they send you the questionnaire thing to get the shirt?

Tbf I'd rather have the full scholly than the shirt.

Yea I can send you a women's medium in exchange for some of that skrilla

Really? Could you explain your logic on that, cause I just can't get my mind around it.
