For those of you interested in BigLaw. Would you all opt for t13 at sticker over a WashU with full tuition?
Per Spivey Twitter:
“This is huge and breaking news. In multiple tweets. The ABA Council has recommended...
...that every law school can determine what makes a test valid and reliable for itself or whether or not it will even require an admission test...
As of this moment we are unsure of this recommendation needs to be finalized, or if it is a final decision.”
Thoughts?
First of all. That’s amazing. AMAZING.
Second Which will you choose. T6 for free. Or HYS.
To what extent did you prep Pre-Law school?
Are you thinking about applying for clerkships yet? 1L summer gig at a firm?
Also, @jhaldy10325 , can we extend this guy’s account so he can follow up post finals?
Crazy to realize that my test is likely already graded. Now just a matter of waiting it out
@cmarolda1791
Are you concerned about the debtload? It can run 300k.
And don't say "because of it's ranking". I'm just curious based on your goals why you're choosing a particular school(s).
Respectfully.
Why are you trying to take 16 tests in 5-6 weeks?
I ask Bc it seems like a bit much. Are you still able to BR at that pace ?
For those of you who applied and go in to Berkeley/have legitimate insider info, how critical is it have a 3-4 page Personal Statement?
I've seen conflicting information online. Some say it's fairly important to make sure it's longer, others have said avoid adding fluff if you do a solid job in 2 pages.
For this question (it's helpful to watch the video), JY does the logic and it comes out to this:
Capable and (PI or 500) --> Report
~Report
not (capable) or not (PI or 500)
From this point, JY says that you implement the group 3 rule. meaning that you have to either negate the (capable) or the (PI or 500). But when you look at the problem, why couldn't you negate both? If they are BOTH negated, Ted would still not be required to report?
Basically, I'm not sure why you suddenly would need to implement group three on this problem when it seems you could absolutely negate both and still have the sufficient condition (~Report) stand correct.

Sentence:
If I don't see food, I am sad.
~SF --> S
would the negation be:
SF and S
I can see food and be sad.
Pretty freaking hard.
I got fooled. I read A once and didn't come back to it.
I thought D was a strengthening answer choice because if materials were easier to obtain, then there would be an ample supply and thus make the chances of accidentally discovering Han Purple more likely.
But this just lets us know there was a lot of material available for making white glass. It's likely an assumption too far that just b/c you have a lot of materials, it will affect the chances of production of a product.
The materials to make fidget spinners have been around for a long time, but they only came about in 2016. Not b/c of a fortuitous accident, but b/c someone just thought of it.
C doesn't tell us how it was made.
B and E are not relevant information in how Han Purple was made
A) Logical and makes the conclusion more likely
I mean, think about it. If they weren't found in the same place, it makes it less likely that Han was created during glass production.
If glass production happens in Missouri and only in Missouri. But Han was discovered in New York. Then like wtf. there's no cross over. why would i think that Han was discovered during glass production?
All apes(A) are animals (C).
All bats (B) are animals (C).
Some things that are NOT apes (A) are NOT bats (B).
This question got me.
I didn't understand the difference b/t A and D.
A is saying that b/c an event (being super populated) has not occurred. It wont' occur. That's not what the argument says. The argument says that b/c we aren't populated, colonization won't happen.
D. Yes. Since an event has not occurred (being mega populated), then the hypothesis is wrong (the beliefs of the other people regarding colonization).
B got me on this one.
I read the part that said "although it is common for a given cat to cause an allergic reaction in some--but not all-- ppl.."
That doesn't mean every cat can cause a unable to cause a reaction in person.
There might be just one cat that can. It is COMMON for a given cat to cause reaction in some not all. Well there may be an instance of DAT CAT that gets all the allergy suffers.
ole kitty cat.
C
Has to be it. We know that CERTAIN proteins lead to reactions in ppl.
Well, if this is the case, then individual cats must have a different make up of these protein combinations. B/c if they had the same, everyone would react the same.

Depends on the T13, long term goals, and financial situation.
Are you BL or bust, or simply interested?
Is the T13 school(s) you are interested in located in an area you would like to live in for 3 years? How portable is this T13's degree? UT Austin, for example, doesn't place too great outside of Texas. Especially WRT to big law.
The average person stays in BL for under 2-3 years. So always keep that in mind.
WashU places like 30%+ into big law and for full tuition, I think it's a wonderful option. Most T13s at sticker will set you back 300k. If you're only going to likely be in BL for 3 years, you'll likely only be able pay off only part of that debt.
I've heard this frequently that most people only last a few years in biglaw. But even with that being the case, I think most people don't go from biglaw 170k to 50k. Generally they are able to lateral to another solid gig that pays a comparable wage.
