lol I wonder if he ever went to a Ivy League Law School. Seeing as he spent about 90% of his time bashing the Ivy League.
Not a chance. From what I understand he’s been strictly 2nd/3rd tier his entire career.
.
This statement is from stuffwhitepeoplelike.com, and perfectly describes danteshek it’s important to know that all white people believe they have the intelligence and work ethic required to attend an Ivy League school. The only reason they did not actually go to one is that they chose not to participate in the “dog and pony show” required to gain acceptance. White people also like to believe that they were not born into a privileged (enough) family to get legacy admission. This should always be at the back of your mind as you talk to a white person about the Ivy League. Once you have determined that a white person did not attend an Ivy League School, you should try to give them the opportunity to explain why their school was actually a superior educational experience. Some easy ways to do this are to mention grade inflation, professors who value research over teaching, or high tuition costs. Any one of these will set a white person off on a multi-minute rant. When they have finally run out of arguments about why they chose the right school, you should say “I knew a whole bunch of people who went to Harvard and none of them work as hard or are as smart as you.” This is a very effective technique for gaining acceptance since white people need constant reassurance that they are smart and that they made the right choice with their life.
i’ll whip his a$$

Solid site, I love it!

Just read this post on another forum, might be helpful to some people here: Don’t make the mistake I did. You need to do a thorough self-evaluation before you make this decision. Ask yourself why you want to go and whether you can tolerate the many hours of dry reading and work that you may or may not believe in, every day. Even if it is the right job for you, is it the right job for your family? There is a reason lawyers have the highest divorce rate of any profession. It’s because you will hardly see them. If you don’t have a strong LSAT score, don’t even bother applying. You will end up at a bottom-tier school with few job prospects, even if you are in the top of your class. How do I know? Because it’s the story of my life. I went to law school under the impression that I liked arguing, and therefore, would love being a lawyer. I had a 155 LSAT. I ended up at a 3rd tier law school, did okay once I got in (3.3 gpa, staff member on law review, published), worked every summer, but HATED every minute of it. I found I was bogged down in dry reading material that I cared nothing about nearly every night for three years. In court, advocating a position that I did not believe in was very tough for me. In my studies, I eventually found a method that allowed me to get B’s fairly easily, but the amount of work required to get an A simply demanded too much time–time that I should have been spending with my family. But you NEED A’s to get good jobs or the whole experience becomes much less valuable because employers only care about your school, your grades and what jobs you’ve had. That’s it. At my summer jobs, I looked forward to days in court where the fruits of my work would pay off. Several weeks of mind-numbing legal research and writing was not worth the 10 minutes of courtroom drama glory at a final argument. Not for me, but for others it’s what makes them tick. Then there’s the debt. I am now $160,000 in debt for a law degree I will never use. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. At the end of my second year, I decided that I would never practice a day in this job because I hated it so much. I sucked it up and finished the last year. Knowing I would need to find a new skillset, I started volunteering at my local fire department. I loved it, ended up getting hired by a career fire department with a higher salary than most public defenders make, and have been working as a firefighter for two years now. I haven’t looked back since, except when I see the $950 auto-debited from my checking account each month. Thanks to shift work, I work only one out of every three days, help people every day, and spend all of my off time with my family. Bottom line: Even if you think law school is the right decision now, it may or may not be. You will probably know this after your first semester, because very little changes after that in terms of the workload or type of work. If after your first semester you hate it, DROP OUT and never look back. Think of it as a $10,000 or so lesson in life. It will be FAR less costly than what I am going through. If you love it, congratulations. A lot of lawyers love their jobs and do great work. Anyone can succeed at law school, but it takes a certain personality type to want to make a career out of it. You will know very quickly if you have what it takes or not.

There is only one school better than HLS in the world. If you are for real then you are my new hero.

Oh yeah, I’m for real all right.
I would have never imagined alumnus of such school would do CFA. HLS alumni percolated into every aspect of our society from politics to business but YLS and SLS alumni seems they stay in the legal field. What do you do?
from those who knew me from my high velocity posting days of 2005, they know I was at one point thinking about getting the accreditations “superfecta” or MBA, CFA, CPA, JD I have MBA and CFA, started down CPA path but stalled, am considering rebooting that effort, but gave up my JD aspirations relatively quickly when I realized there’s virtually no career upside for me in it since I’d never want to practice law, and there are so few jobs that a JD bolted onto a Finance resume core would substantially increase compensation (VC principal being the big one) and has been mentioned, it seems to get the choice jobs out there you need to go to a Top school AND be near the top of your class, and unlike b-school, you actually have to study ur @ss off in law school and stress out over exams and papers (whereas in b-school its next to impossible to fail out and there’s no class rank system). Doing a dual JD/MBA is actually a very interesting idea, a friend of mine was looking into doing the dual program at Northwestern, and from what he heard, you actually have a much better chance of getting into there thru a dual program than trying for either program seperately as there are a number of slots allocated for dual modes, but there are far less applicants even on a per allocated seat basis for dual program than JD or MBA seperately.
