10:31 BelowMedianSaddie: how do i get fordham to put me under review
10:32 NicklausCopernicus18: @apple yeahhhhh I went UR2 at Duke over a month ago lol
10:36 LetMeInnnnnnn: In at Emory, got a letter today, applied first week of December
10:36 nota999: Congrats!
10:37 AustralianCity123: congrats!~
10:37 BelowMedianSaddie: guess they let you Innnnnnn
10:39 apple12: Darn it @ Nicklaus but congrats letmein!!!
10:40 UnableGrouchyBat: email for Emory or package?
10:40 LetMeInnnnnnn: package, haven't read through it yet since I've got to be on meetings for the next hour and a half but it did include a decent merit scholarship
10:40 anoshe: Congrats!
10:40 UnableGrouchyBat: congrats!!
10:40 RhetoricalPriceyTropicbird: @nick UR1 10/5, UR2 10/26, interview invite 11/18, accepted 11/23 for UVA
10:41 LetMeInnnnnnn: thanks all, great to have the first acceptance so I know I didn't completely screw up my applications lol!
10:41 RhetoricalPriceyTropicbird: congrats letmein!
10:41 AustralianCity123: @letmein did it come via Fedex?
10:42 LetMeInnnnnnn: I'll have to check the envelope when I get back to the other room, it was in our building's mailbox for my unit, though
10:42 anoshe: curious, did you ever try and log into the emory opus site?
10:43 LetMeInnnnnnn: I did but I did not see any indicator of acceptance
10:45 anoshe: oh interesting! lol we went complete on the same day so i thought i'd ask.
10:47 nota999: The first acceptance is always a weight off the shoulders, for sure
10:47 nota999: I'd be way more of a neurotic mess this cycle if I hadn't had that A from UofAZ
10:49 WetCrookedMeerkat: i just missed a call from st. louis, MO and got so damn excited until i remembered that i didn't even apply to WashU
10:50 anoshe: haha!
10:50 nota999: I wouldn't count it out. Some days it feels like WashU is gonna start admitted people who didn't even apply before they finally get around to my app lol
10:50 WetCrookedMeerkat: that is... so painful i'm sorry
10:51 anoshe: tragically i don't get service in my office :/ or maybe that's good since i don't get car warranty calls lol
10:51 WetCrookedMeerkat: it's a good thing for sure because i went from "sorry i only pick up calls from my mother" to picking up every single spam call in existence :)
10:52 nota999: Same lol
10:52 nota999: like "I know this school is in Missouri, but maybe someone is calling from their cell phone and they have a Colorado number?"
10:52 nota999: And then I start applying the clown makeup
10:53 WetCrookedMeerkat: but some schools are using Google Voice numbers from different area codes, so ur not entirely wrong
10:53 WetCrookedMeerkat: or that's what i tell myself when i pick up calls from CANADA
10:57 [A] cryptanon: helloooo chat
10:57 [A] cryptanon: any 500 errors today?
10:57 nota999: Morning crypt, no errors so far
10:57 WetCrookedMeerkat: smooth sailing, thanks to u :)
10:58 UnableGrouchyBat: ditto
10:58 nota999: Thanks for finding the time to work on this site while also juggling HLS lol
10:58 [A] cryptanon: great, hopefully it stays that way so that i can work on more interesting features
10:59 [A] cryptanon: @nota999: i'm actually taking spring semester off to work full-time on bundlebee and lsdata :)
10:59 nota999: Oh nice! Also valid!
11:00 [A] cryptanon: yeah, i worked remotely for 7 years before law school and went to school for the in-person aspect
11:00 [A] cryptanon: covid kinda ruined that lol
11:00 BelowMedianSaddie: is harvard v lenient about taking time off? i think everyone i know who went to hls ended up taking a semester off for something
11:00 BelowMedianSaddie: (something fun!)
11:01 nota999: Mood. I was thinking about law school last year, and almost hopped in that cycle. Once covid hit, I was glad that I decided to wait another year lol
11:01 [A] cryptanon: yeah, it's basically a no-questions-asked leave of absence policy for this winter/spring
11:02 [A] cryptanon: although i think HLS generally has a very lenient leave of absence policy... one of the lecturers i talked to did 1L at HLS, spent 10 years touring with metallica or something, and then went back to finish his degree
11:02 [A] cryptanon: and now he's teaching at HLS
11:02 CowardlyJuicyCamel: Hi, thanks for this amazing software. where are you up too with bumble bee? will it be ready for this cycle?
11:03 nota999: Well that would certainly give him something to talk about at OCIs lol
11:03 BelowMedianSaddie: whoa that is.....way more fun than what my friends have done lmao
11:03 Torquatus: i hope class sizes arent raised too much
11:04 [A] cryptanon: BundleBee will definitely be ready for this cycle. we reached out to the first batch of banks last week, got replies. our first zoom meeting is scheduled for this thursday
11:04 [A] cryptanon: i'll be sending out an email update to bundlebee users this week or next
11:04 jp100123: If I applied in Sept. and haven't heard back from Y or H, am I most likely facing a WL/R?
11:05 CowardlyJuicyCamel: YEAH, THANKS
11:06 [A] cryptanon: i encourage everyone to sign up for BundleBee asap cuz it's really all upside. there's 0 commitment so even if you get a full ride somewhere, the only impact on you will be that you helped us negotiate lower rates for everyone else
11:07 StraightLimpingFrog: question: just went UR2 at Berk, good sign? bad sign? stop overthinking?
11:07 JoeDangit: man. i'm so upset.
11:07 JoeDangit: My Buffalo Bills ain't go far at all yesterday
11:07 JoeDangit: i bought like 2 plastic tables
11:07 nota999: I keep forgetting to sign up for bundlebee. LSData gets through the web filter at work but bundlebee doesn't, and I don't check the site at home nearly as much
11:08 FrankOcean: hi Joe
11:08 JoeDangit: oh what's up frank
11:08 JoeDangit: what's going on this morning, buddy?
11:08 CowardlyJuicyCamel: how will it compare to gov student loans?
11:09 masterofallfoursections: @straight i think thats a good sign considering they do A waves on tuesday!
11:10 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Good morning everyone
11:10 nota999: Mornin squirrel
11:10 FrankOcean: good morning
11:10 FrankOcean: we're good
11:10 FrankOcean: looking at applying to more jobs bc idk how tf im going to acquire more funds to pay for law school
11:10 JoeDangit: i feel that.
11:10 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: You'll never pay for law school dawg, just accept the inevitable loans
11:10 FrankOcean: fax
11:10 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Debt on debt on debt
11:10 JoeDangit: it sucks because the job market is pretty awful too.
11:10 FrankOcean: but i could use some more cash
11:10 JoeDangit: nah, empty is lowkey right.
11:11 FrankOcean: its impossible rn
11:11 [A] cryptanon: @Camel: it's still too early to know what rates will be, and i think what i'm allowed to say about loans is super regulated... but speaking as a private individual, federal unsubsidized loans are a very hard deal to beat, but they're limited in what you can take out. private loans will probably be better for filling the gap
11:11 JoeDangit: my friend is like "if I save up 70k working for a year, i can pay for law school."
11:11 JoeDangit: and he's clowning a bit
11:11 Torquatus: dont worry once inflation hits some more debt will all evaporate
11:11 JoeDangit: just ask ur parents for more money bro dang
11:11 nota999: I'm in the annoying position of, on the one hand, not wanting to leave the job I have in order to save money, but on the other hand not wanting to work for a place that's super underpaying me
11:11 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Maybe Joe will make all the loans disappear :D
11:11 yearningtolawyer: @crypt is bundlebee only for private loans?
11:11 JoeDangit: nota, i got one word of advice tbh.
11:11 JoeDangit: know ur worth, g.
11:12 JoeDangit: i feel like that is the best advice anyone can give anyone
11:12 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Wait, have y'all worked jobs that haven't underpaid you?
11:12 nota999: Ye, I've got some wage negotiations coming up soon, and I've got a floor in my head where if they try to offer me anything below that I'm leaving.
11:12 JoeDangit: i worked a job that overpaid me
11:12 [A] cryptanon: @yearningtolawyer: yeah, i don't think we're gonna get big enough to negotiate with the federal gov't this year ;)
11:12 JoeDangit: i've also worked a few unp-aid internships
11:12 nota999: I mean, most jobs I've done have underpaid me, but most have been at least above the 10th percentile.
11:12 JoeDangit: which should be illegal
11:13 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: I've had one unpaid internship, definitely should be illegal lol
11:13 JoeDangit: okay if I get any acceptances, waitlists, or rejections this week
11:13 Torquatus: you were paid with valuable experience
11:13 JoeDangit: i'm definitely going to jump onto these plastic tables
11:13 JoeDangit: bills mafia style
11:14 sufferingprelaw: unpaid internships are the worst, especially when they're for campaigns that claim they pay fair wages!
11:14 JoeDangit: saved them for last night thinking that josh allen was gonna take it all the way, but he couldn't deliver.
11:14 nota999: @Torquatus unfortunately, Safeway wouldn't accept valuable job experience to pay for my groceries lol
11:14 fearseitan: love to tell my landlord "i don't have money but I CAN pay you with this valuable experience I got"
11:14 Torquatus: lol
11:14 JoeDangit: is there ever any valuable experience tbh
11:14 JoeDangit: the most valuable experience i ever got was how to hone my Alt+tab skills
11:14 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: My unpaid internship gave me a gift at the end of the experience though! A $5 Starbucks gift card
11:14 sufferingprelaw: networking i guess? thats what they claim
11:14 JoeDangit: to pretend that i was working
11:14 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: What can I get with $5
11:15 JoeDangit: a cup of water.
11:15 nota999: A small drip coffee
11:15 JoeDangit: you ungrateful
11:15 JoeDangit: pull urself up by ur bootstraps damn
11:15 fearseitan: I did an unpaid internship while working in theatre and it did land me my first broadway shows but I also ate 1 shit meal a day every day for a whole summer
11:15 fearseitan: and worked 16 hour days
11:15 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Damn what a soft @fear
11:15 Torquatus: intermittent fasting
11:15 fearseitan: lmao
11:15 Torquatus: a healthy diet
11:15 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Famous actor in our chat
11:16 fearseitan: stage manager*
11:16 fearseitan: i will never act in my life
11:16 fearseitan: ~anxiety~
11:16 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Still cool
11:16 fearseitan: thanks hope the adcoms think so too
11:16 nota999: My unpaid internship did give me some nice 2nd degree connections in DC. Unfortunately, they're in an industry that I realized I didn't want to work in (hence now going to law school instead)
11:17 Torquatus: i had a paid internship at mcdonalds
11:17 JoeDangit: What industry was it, nota?
11:17 JoeDangit: just curious.
11:17 BelowMedianSaddie: i ran an internship program and i made them make it paid - the second i left they reverted back to unpaid
11:17 BelowMedianSaddie: :/
11:17 nota999: foreign policy, esp in the middle east
11:17 JoeDangit: I always felt like unpaid internships were more centric to like humanitites/poli sci majors
11:17 JoeDangit: oh yeah, nvm.
11:18 JoeDangit: that's pretty dope though.
11:18 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: I did an unpaid internship in a social work field, it was cool but there is something that is cooler. Money.
11:18 SydBarewithit: most of my friends who got marketing internships were unpaid
11:18 nota999: Realized as I was starting to actually get jobs in that field that I liked it way more as an academic subject than a career. So I left my MA program and went back home while I got my shit sorted.
11:18 JoeDangit: Empty, I feel that so much lol
11:18 JoeDangit: Social work is so fulfilling
11:18 JoeDangit: but it burns you out so fast
11:19 JoeDangit: esp if it's unpaid
11:19 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Yeah...I do love it, it an be very rewarding. Love working with people through shit like that, hence my interest in law
11:20 FertileSecretiveUguisu: anyone get invited for a binding early scholarship when you didn't apply ED to the school?
11:20 JoeDangit: I'm ngl, I don't know if anyone else in the chat feels this
11:20 JoeDangit: but I never felt like I had a super big interest in law, I just felt it was the next step lol
11:20 LameDrearyCoon: hi guys is ur2 without interview at cornell a bad sign
11:20 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: No I went UR2 before interview
11:21 ncan360: @empty how long did it take to get the request after going UR2?
11:21 FrankOcean: all if this could be solved w an anbryce at NYU
11:21 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: But Joe, doesn't that scare you that you might not like it after all the school and $$?
11:21 FrankOcean: or a distinguished scholar at UCLA
11:21 nota999: Law was always something lurking in the background that I didn't pay attention to because I was tunnel visioned on foreign policy. Once I left that field, I felt like it was just staring me in the face the whole time.
11:21 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: Uh I think a couple weeks
11:21 BelowMedianSaddie: @joe i always had law in my back pocket like i knew i'd end up here but needed to stretch my wings first
11:21 LameDrearyCoon: well.. saw a bunch of people getting interview requests today
11:21 JoeDangit: Probably, @empty.
11:21 JoeDangit: I quit the field at one point to be a firefighter for a season
11:21 JoeDangit: and then just ended up coming back, so i probably like something about it
11:22 LameDrearyCoon: feel like if I was getting an interview I would've got one today instead of UR2 lol
11:22 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: That makes sense. I knew about my interest in law but then working at firms and stuff was able to confirm it
11:22 JoeDangit: damn, i wish we were reversed lol
11:23 JoeDangit: my unpaid internships almost killed my interest 100%
11:23 BelowMedianSaddie: i also needed time in the field bc my stats are shit and i needed SOMETHING to put in my app
11:23 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: It helps that they paid me lol
11:24 nota999: Basically (and this was the tl;dr of my ps) I got fed up with ForPol because you can't get anything done in it. I wanted a career where I could actually help people in tangible ways. Came down to law or seminary and, well, this isn't SeminaryData so you can guess how that deliberation ended lol
11:24 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: I like to wonder what I would do with my years off if I wasn't KJD
11:24 JoeDangit: @Nota, State Department wasn't an option?
11:24 JoeDangit: I always felt like KJD students should be given more boosts.
11:24 BelowMedianSaddie: @nota my ps was v similar, actually
11:25 JoeDangit: They're the most motivated and have more potential imo.
11:25 yearningtolawyer: @joe State Dept. is notoriously difficult to break into
11:25 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: That's cool nota
11:25 JoeDangit: not that work exp doesn't help, but I always felt like people look at KJD as a negative trait.
11:25 yearningtolawyer: as someone who has tried for years, the state dept. feels like it doesn't exist because i don't know anyone who's broken in lol
11:25 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: I think that they look at KJD as neutral and then work experience as a plus, that's how I always thought of it
11:25 JoeDangit: @yearning, well that sucks, the state dep. was on one of the places i wanted to work in lol
11:25 JoeDangit: oh.
11:26 BelowMedianSaddie: tbh i probably would've flunked out of law school as a kjd i don't think i would've been ready even if i thought i was
11:26 JoeDangit: if that's right then i take my words back lol
11:26 BelowMedianSaddie: knowing myself now
11:26 yearningtolawyer: @joe having a professional degree like a JD definitely helps
11:26 JoeDangit: I feel that Saddie.
11:26 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: That's just what I tell myself to make me feel better about it lol
11:26 JoeDangit: I don't even think I'm ready for it now, especially reading how combative some law school environments are.
11:27 masterofallfoursections: when i graduated from college i knew my ass was not ready for law school
11:27 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: I think you just have to figure out how to schedule time and be super motivated to get on your shit, if you aren't then you get boinked
11:27 nota999: Basically FP as a field is (or at least feels like) it's "work here for 10 years and then hope that if the political winds are blowing the right way you'll get a chance to maybe do something tangible for folks"
11:27 nota999: which turned me off of it
11:28 masterofallfoursections: obviously not EVERYONE is like this but the new associates who start at our firm, we can always tell who never worked between undergrad and law school
11:28 JoeDangit: oh really? do tell
11:28 GlisteningReflectiveSetter: anyone know where tf Fordham is at
11:28 JoeDangit: I need to know how to masquerade that I know what i'm doing lol
11:28 EmptyAuspiciousSquirrel: I always told myself t I was a ~different~ KJD because I worked through school lmao
