That school’s* culture

ChowieBean

11:23

Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

ChowieBean

12:03

@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

MildChiller

12:08

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

MildChiller

12:09

Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024

ChowieBean

12:14

2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:17

I agree with Howl

ChowieBean

12:19

Gecko what's ur dream school

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:21

Any advice? lol

[] baddestbunny

12:25

what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?

ChowieBean

12:25

Hmmmm let me think

[] baddestbunny

12:25

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:31

I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

Law01

12:50

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked

HowlEngineer

12:59

@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?

HowlEngineer

13:05

@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them

HowlEngineer

13:10

but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else

ChowieBean

13:30

@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA

ChowieBean

13:30

Anywhere that's top for PI

ChowieBean

14:54

What do people typically write in the 'Optional Statement' for Georgetown

ChowieBean

15:25

Yale application is wayyy too much work

ChowieBean

15:28

So many apps want 'post-college activities' time to get a fuckin job

InsipidLemon

15:55

hey guys what happens if we dont have any honors or achievements oof, just don't include a section for it on the resume?

[] baddestbunny

16:01

They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that

menherachan

16:25

@ChowieBean: i made a silly video for my optional statement :3

letsseehowitgoesnow

16:43
