did asw get you excited about law school, or are you as bearish about law school as anyone who regularly reads xoxo? |

Date: March 8th, 2010 10:35 PM Author: Coral home famous landscape painting I'm still pretty bearish.

Date: March 8th, 2010 10:46 PM Author: Orange alpha That sucks. I feel like getting into HLS or getting $ at CCN sucks because it seems like such a great opportunity... until you realize that ITE is going to rape you.
Makes me wish I hadn't majored in useless bullshit and had been able to swing some interesting job out of school |

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:09 PM Author: Coral home famous landscape painting Yeah. There was a LOT of talk about the HLS "imprimatur" and how everyone goes on to do such great things, and your network will be amazing, etc. etc. That got a little annoying.

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:16 PM Author: canary thriller coffee pot There are obviously some d-bags here. But honestly I think people generally go to the highest-ranked school they get into, so the annoying people here are just slightly more competent, on average, than those from CLS. There are a ton of great people here too, but I'm sure many of them weren't wasting their time at ASW. I guess the Harvard name might inflate some egos but I honestly doubt it's much different at any T14 school in that regard.

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:18 PM Author: judgmental background story ceo i think you can pretty evenly divide the harvard kids into two groups: the ones who went to some TTT for undergrad and now plan on buying a shitload of harvard sweatshirts and wearing them whenever they travel on a plane, and those who went to a decent undergrad and are over all that bullshit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1245223&forum_id=2#14337712) |

Date: March 9th, 2010 1:31 AM Author: canary thriller coffee pot Douches come from all over the place. There are people that drop the H name everywhere and those that don't, but I don't think it breaks down by where they went to UG. From my experience the Ivy UGs are a little worse, but people in Fed Soc are probably on average even worse than Ivy UGs (and many of them went to places like TTTexas).

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:18 PM Author: Maniacal Zippy Spot "imprimatur" seems particularly douchey because it's the combination of a slightly douchey idea (going to a school because of the prestige of its name) with a very douchey word (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1245223&forum_id=2#14337714) |
|
Date: March 8th, 2010 11:22 PM Author: canary thriller coffee pot Yeah that's pretty bad. Never heard that word used on campus to be honest but i wouldn't be surprised. I don't think the "average" HLS student thinks HLS students are special and bound for greatness any moreso than CLS or SLS students. I always talk with my friends about how random and stupid the law school system is. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1245223&forum_id=2#14337768) |

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:26 PM Author: canary thriller coffee pot 2L.

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:27 PM Author: Coral home famous landscape painting I had two friends that were generally cool before they went to HLS. They BOTH talk like this now. I thought it was endemic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1245223&forum_id=2#14337860) |

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:40 PM Author: canary thriller coffee pot I think that's a law school thing more generally. Some people let success get to their heads, but many don't. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1245223&forum_id=2#14338041) |

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:18 PM Author: Coral home famous landscape painting no, i agree. It's just that the "everyone here is so smart and great, but gosh, they're just so nice and they even share notes!" schtick gets old quick.

Date: March 8th, 2010 11:24 PM Author: canary thriller coffee pot to be fair, the people at ASW tend to be the ones who drink the kool-aid the most. those people also tend to be the ones who read the One L book and thought their classmates would be sabotaging library books before they got here.
