Re: U Chicago 2010
Like I said, people in DC can't handle the snow. I lived there for a year after graduation. Every time it snowed, people acted like it was the end of the world.5ky wrote:To be fair, 2.5 feet of snow in a 24 hour period is a lot for any place to handle.

I'm confused by Chicago's admissions procedures. Maybe they average LSAT scores. Or maybe my wholeheartedly liberal and PI-oriented PS was not to their liking.

Have any of the accepted people gotten an e-mail or had that status update from the 2/4 UR?

Chicago is relatively conservative and leans more toward BigLaw than any other T6 except maybe Columbia.ClemCarter wrote:Explain the logic of this to me, please?lawyering wrote:+1crackberry wrote:I'm confused by Chicago's admissions procedures.

Would any of the new admits be so kind as to reveal the first letter of their last name?

And a higher percentage of Chicago grads go into BigLaw than any other T6 except maybe Columbia.
Consequently, my PI-focused PS and thinly veiled liberalism might have rubbed them the wrong way.
