No, I didn't really find it annoying.

@shereallysaidmeganslaw: thank you, you're right. its just the initial shock of an R that has me spun up. especially because i missed the E wave on wednesday and was feeling delusional and hopeful

you want to do corporate law or big law after school?
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
12:25
I mean, big law, ideally.
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
12:25
Thought corporate law, though, was part of big law...
crybaby2024
12:25
it is
crybaby2024
12:25
but not everyone expects to do big law
crybaby2024
12:25
some people are corporate lawyers outside of what is considered "big law"
TediousSparrow
12:26
it was an inclusive "or" and not an exclusionary "or"
OvertReconditeSpider
12:26
Yeah not all corporate law is BL
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
12:26
Right, right. No, my plan is to do big law. That may or may not happen, but that's the plan.
crybaby2024
12:26
but from what the (too many) lawyers in my life have told me it's not necessary to network ahead of time for BL

pug you are going to be such a kick ass attorney making buccos of money in the coolest cutest apartment/house ever
OvertReconditeSpider
12:26
Yeah im not planning on it either. My school only has a 23% 251+/FC
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick

@crybaby2024: ok, well that's very good to know.

it's important to concentrate on being in the top 20% of your class if you're in the T14, and higher if you're not
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
12:27
Yeah, I know that's the most important thing. I'm probably not going to be going to a T14, though I am on several T14 waitlists.
crybaby2024
12:27
They did say, however, if you're gunning for PI, especially unicorn PI. Then you have to network your ass off ASAP.
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
12:27
Yeah, that's not something I'm gunning for, but that's good to know regardless.

tedious is taking the words out of my mouth. Pug you are more than a number, the cumulation of your experiences, intelligence and potential cannot be reflected in the few metrics that mean so much to schools (not everything ik, but still a lot). As a fellow survivor (hate that term but you know what i mean), i understand being tired, and the torment of dealing with institutional barriers. Im sorry shit sucks, and even thou youve had success at other prestigous institutions this cycle, its okay to be upset about what youve faced. It doesnt make you ungrateful, it makes you a human who feels shitty just like everyone else when faced with rejection. Sorry for the essay, but pug was so real i wanted to be real with pug and offer my support.

Then just work your ass off. Especially you're 1L year. Pretty much your whole career in BL is determined by your 1L. Cuz you start interviewing as soon as you're back your second year pretty much.

your* ugh i'm so embarrassing, texting has ruined me. i never type the right you're/your there/their anymore! I have become the very thing i hated the most! jk but i am really dumb now

@SameSuperLeopard: i really appreciate that and @tedioussparrow and @manifest you guys are all too kind. ill definitely be fine, and much more tan in austin than i wouldve been in chicago so theres that.
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
12:30
Right, I do plan on working my ass off 1L. I just also recently heard that pre-OCI is this new secret thing that elevates some people and screws some people over, and I got worried about that.
CanWeTalkAboutTerrenceMalick
12:30
But you're saying that's not really something to worry about, so I'll just focus on 1L.

tbh seasonal depression is so real and something im genuinely worried about screwing up my grades if i get off a WL and go to school in the north
TediousSparrow
12:31
that's a reasonable fear

Also if you end up in a dreary midwest locale, start taking vitamin D supplements
