I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV

I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe

I have not talked to northwestern or uchicago but the schools I did talked to said graduates are nice but they cant be hard stats to compare to others as not everyone has one

babycat

15:34

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they really like non traditional applicants and older students

babycat

15:35

there are plenty of non trads who get admitted to nw with below median stats bc of their stories

I think babycat just wants me close for when she gets into Uchicago lol For me the locations of the school and environment around it matters a lot

Are you in an open marriage?

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

babycat

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same

info-man

15:44

the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14
