Minnesota

Read a random definition: investment security

A quick definition of Minnesota:

Minnesota: Minnesota has laws to prevent unwanted commercial emails, also known as spam. These laws prohibit false or misleading messages and require sexually explicit emails to have a specific label in the subject line. However, some of these laws may be overridden by federal laws. Minnesota used to have a "Do Not Call" list to prevent unwanted telemarketing calls, but this law expired in 2012. Minnesota also has laws to prevent unsolicited advertisements sent via fax machine.

A more thorough explanation:

Commercial Email and Spam: Minnesota has a law that prohibits false or misleading commercial email messages. If an email contains sexually explicit content, the subject line must include "ADV-ADULT." However, this requirement is likely overridden by the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which has its own rules for pornographic commercial emails.

Telemarketing & Telephonic Anti-Solicitation: Until 2012, Minnesota had a "Do Not Call" list that prevented telemarketers from calling people who had registered their phone numbers. However, this law expired in 2012. Minnesota also has strict rules about using automated devices for telemarketing purposes.

Faxes, Texts, and Other Media Anti-Solicitation: Minnesota's "Junk Fax Law" prohibits sending unsolicited advertisements via fax machine unless the sender includes a toll-free number that recipients can use to opt-out of future faxes. The sender must also include an address where the recipient can opt-out of future faxes.

For example, if a company sends a fax advertisement to a business without permission, they must include a toll-free number and an address where the business can opt-out of future faxes. This law helps prevent unwanted fax advertisements from clogging up fax machines and wasting paper.

UCI hella liberal and trans. I think you would like it. More liberal than like Berk and UCLA if you can imagine. @Eggan

I did astrophysics for 3 years and hated it. Dropped out of my first college cus of it. @limpweeny

19:07
Do not recommend studying physics. Super boring, a lot of math, and most results are not replicable.

Ill say this though. I studied a lot of Otto Hahn and was happy to see him at the start of Oppenheimer. Made a little appearance. Nice tribute.
19:08
@Dkk: i know the makeup of UCI but im not from california and i didn't like how i'd have to be isolated from the labor movement since it's not very close to LA and OC is mostly a bunch of rich people tbh
19:09
i like berk's proximity to san francisco. the bay area is full of surprises when it comes to labor
19:11
thats why i'm mostly centered on cities with major labor activity this cycle (besides chicago) such as NYC, boston DC (where the union headquarters usually are)
19:11
Anyone else hella concerned w the uptick in applicants? Not sure if I can use the LSD data of the past to reference
some dean said they're only expecting 5-15% increase over the whole cycle, still not great, but not 30% like currently
19:15
Ohhh okay thank goodness. I saw +38% and lowk got scared
19:16
That doesn’t seem too bad if they increase class size by a bit 🙏

Ahh that is true but OC Disney Unions. Can always be involved in those. Some of the biggest unions in California. I was part of that for a couple years but my union was corrupt. @Eggan

Berk is definitely more fun. Unions in LA are of course the screen actors guild and then hospitality stuff like restaurants. It will be good wherever you go imo if that is what you are into.

@sadpadresfan: yeah, Spivey said the same thing wasp pointed out. 30% to start to 15% at the end. I think part of it may also be people just want more variety. Maybe a similar amount of applicants but more variety. More waitlist movement potentially this year. Schools fighting harder for people.
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: the NU dean. Him and Spivey did a podcast on it.
And if you look at the numbers they're starting to come down. A couple weeks ago we were up 36 percent up, now we're only 26 percent up.

@texaslawhopefully: if you are trying to do texas law, why not go to UT Austin. Probably better scholarships for you compared to Harvard and its a pipeline. Unless, of course, scholarships don't matter in your case.
i studied hard stem but i just hate being in an actual lab lol
depends on the type of lab work that you do, the only thing i did enjoy doing was bacterial genetics because that shit is super fast and fun, but working in a wet lab is just a lottttt of sitting and waiting around
hence law, lmao
@NotJustALawyer: I'm trying to do an appellate clerkship and the very top schools just have better placement. And yes, I'm still considering UT, but I think with my numbers I can get scholarship money at most of the T14.
Also I made my username before I had my lsat back and then UT was my top choice, but I’ve been somewhat open geographically. I also have ties to Texas so I don’t think it’d be hard to get back here if I left the state for law school.
