Keep telling yourself that it is not.  somebody post the ranking system explanation that shows the bulk of the score consists of popular opinion and factors that have nothing to do with the institution per se.congrats on being a drug addled loser though izzy, i'll give you that Lykourgos fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jul 28, 2010 |

gvibes posted:That and I applied really late (or rather, my application was completed really late because someone, either the LSAC or my reference, lost the loving reference letter). I did this and got into Wisconsin with a 168. It's good to know that someone hosed up harder with better prospects than me.

NoodleBaby posted:Factor what into our planning? Factor what into your planning? Here's my message. If you are the pre-kids couple making $120,000 shortly after school, then my message is that $120k per year isn't as much as you think it is. It is a good start, but don't blow it. Don't make yourself house poor by buying a big fancy house, buy a Taurus instead of a Volvo, because you are going to need that money for other things that really sneak up on you as you get older. We avoided most of these mistakes, but our pre-IBR educational debt really, really makes an impact, as did the debt we took on when my wife wasn't working. (I realize that her staying home was stupid from a pure financial point of view, but I would support the same thing again because of the benefit to the family. But that's just me.) Saddle yourself with as little debt as possible so that you can take advantage of opportunities that may have some risk. Don't lock yourself into being a wage slave just to pay your debt service, if you can avoid it. It really sucks to be chained to your job just to pay your debt. You can't quit, you can't take a risk, you just show up, day after day, and work. Especially after you have been paying for years and years and have years and years to go. As for your $30k friends, I don't have any wisdom for them. If I am having trouble saving enough to retire, what chance do they have? Hopefully they have some family money coming to them as they age, because otherwise they'll be working until they drop. Or maybe the economy will collapse altogether, and they can thrive in a post-apocolyptic Thunderdome. I really didn't mean to come off as a whiner. I am in a much better spot than many. I am in a much better spot than many of my law school classmates. I have a comfortable life, and I went into the educational debt with my eyes open. I'm just trying to get people to consider the different sort of financial needs and pressures that become apparent as you age, and maybe plan for those pressures. In light of those, I stand my my original point- $120,000 per year is not as much as you think it is.

I'm 99% sure I scored well enough to pass. Not that it matters. Scores don't come out till Nov. 5th for Maryland, and we don't swear in until June....wtf. Also lol @ completely not studying Secured Transactions or Commercial Paper/Negotiable Instruments, and none of them were on the bar at all. Such a weird essay part of the bar. We covered ....very strange questions. Here's the breakdown: 1. Real Property (recording acts stuff) 2. Crim/Con Law (Right to Speedy Trial, Right to adequate assistance of counsel) 3. Contract/UCC Sales. 4. Evidence 5. Family law 6. Ethics 7. Torts. 8. Corporations/very mildly Contracts. 9. Massive 6 part question covering Ethics, Civ Pro, Torts, and Evidence. 10. Contracts, with a minor Evidence question. Leif. fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jul 29, 2010 |

I get the feeling that Izzy will get an incredibly high paying lawyerin' job out of HARVARD (He went to Yale as an undergrad, don't forget (he is capitalized on purpose)) and then die unhappy, most likely in an alochol/drug related incident. That's best case scenario. Law thread. Add him to the op.

Dept. of Education just notified me of all the goddamn debt that I have accumulated to pay for law school. God have mercy. On the plus side, got an orientation schedule and they are clearly training us to be high-functioning alcoholics. Also, Jack isn't bourbon. It's Tennessee whiskey (sour mash), filtered through maple charcoal before aging. True story, this is what my Yale 250-word essay was on (not really/or is it?)

My friend's hubby just transferred from Valpo to Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis (incoming 2L). From this thread, I gather that either means he's not totally boned or he'll be making $14/hr as a Costco clerk rather than $10/hr as a barista. Also, how boned are you if you don't intern anywhere between 1L and 2L?
