@alexandergreene93 sorry yes I agree with @blah170blah. The only reason I think it may help is that I work directly for two partners who are very influential and have expressed their recognition of my potential to come back, but besides that it won'…

I'm not saying that working in big law is a bad idea, nor am I claiming that people only want to work in big law for the money. What I am claiming is that if the only reason you want to go to a T14 is because you want to work in big law, and the onl…

As a fully-self supporting adult who does not have anyone to help pay for law school, I think assuming that the only way to pay bills is to go into big law is silly. Two main reasons: 1) 160,000k - 190,000k a year as a starting salary is not necess…

Understood that I am extremely lucky to have had the opportunity for first-hand exposure, but I also think that exposure is what puts me in a position to caution people! I actually vehemently disagree with this, and it's this kind of thinking that …

It is Cravath, FYI. And I work on the busiest case team in Manhattan (i.e. we bill more hours than anyone -- I'm just on my 15 min lunch break right now!)

Yes, one of those. Best things: exposure to some of the biggest players in litigation/the prestige itself, the money, the intensity (as someone who thrives in that environment) Worst things: the brutality of the hours is less about the number are …

I had those questions on mine!

I just re-did the game from memory. I did not mis-read a rule and I definitely had three game boards with two elements switching off. SO CONFUSED.

If you had a question stem that had two questions that is the experimental.

PT 68 game 4 literally destroyed my confidence for three days

One time in class my professor asked us to write down what we love the most in the world. A lot of people said their parents or pets, but he said "what" not "who" so I wrote "efficiency." ENTJ 4thewin

I agree with Andrew. I also recommend getting up early when you start PTing. I work a ton of crazy hours but on the nights I do get home before 11 I make sure to go right to bed so I can get up and PT. Not sure about your experience at the firm you …

Also confused about this. All of the video explanations have disappeared, too.

ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO WORKS AT A TOP LAW FIRM: Not to take away from any of the advice and encouragement, but do not think for one second you will have a lot of time/bandwidth to study once you start working. I put off the LSAT and am now also …

Does anyone want to do the first one next weekend? I'm thinking we just bring our own test (depending on where we are in our studying) and take it together. We can proctor ourselves.

Cool!

What do you guys have in mind? I'm not sure how much group studying would help, but I think taking timed practice tests with more than just myself could be useful.

Also interested!
