…least a year to everyone if possible, even if you’re not a splitter. While it can be hard to tune out all the noise about rankings and prestige, choose the school that has the best combo of fit for your goals and scholarship money. As someone with NYC big law goals, Cornell was the no brainer choice. If I had…

Admitted to Duke UniversityI’m hoping that this can be helpful for any future super-splitters out there (and don’t despair, there is hope - I’m attending Penn).

It’s not worth rushing into. Learn as much as possible about your intended career path before you even apply to law school. It’ll do a lot to…
