General Board / I lost a website I want to look at... anyone know what the url is?
« on: August 27, 2005, 01:41:56 PM »
My Firefox profile got deleted and I need to find a website I had bookmarked. I'm sure some of you have seen it. I don't remember what it's called, but you can search a database of law employers, with job postings, including firms, government, and public interest. You can use the search function to see both which schools a particular employer recruits at and which employers recruit at a particular law school. Does anyone have this? Please?!

So why is GMU's 1L attrition so high? 10.1%

Do people transfer out a lot?

Where should I go next fall? / what is regional vs. national according to US News
« on: March 25, 2005, 06:17:20 AM »
Alright. Loyola (CA) = regional. USD = national. Why? Does anyone know the criteria this magazine uses to determine whether a school is regional or national? I used to think it had to do with the percentage of grads who stayed in-state after graduation. But that makes less sense to me now. So how does US News figure this out and how useful is this categorization?

Where should I go next fall? / George Washington says they'll be done with regular apps by end of April

According to an associate dean of something-or-other I spoke to today. Then, knowing that I knew that she knew my admission decision, she told me I could appeal starting May 1.

Denials / My first bona fide ding
« on: March 21, 2005, 03:10:34 PM »
Washington & Lee, dated 3-17. "The admissions committee was faced with a number of very difficult choices, and we were unable to offer admission to many good applicants." But they didn't say I was one of them!

Anyone else go to decision Sunday at Hastings? Man.... I just want this entire process to be over with.

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Now that IP is passé
« on: March 11, 2005, 12:18:37 AM »
What is the next big market or desirable specialty for lawyers, given that the current interest in IP will lead to a glut in that field?

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / GULC phone call not exactly encouraging
« on: March 04, 2005, 04:54:17 PM »
Well. I applied to the part-time program. LSAC file was sent like 2 months ago. Online status check has been at "applied" ever since. So I sent an e-mail a couple of weeks ago. No response. I sent another one a couple of days ago because I can't find the admissions office phone #. No response. So I finally called another office at GULC and got transferred to the very helpful Katrina.

Apparently I shouldn't have paid the application fee and sent a fee waiver request at the same time. It bungled up the system. Even though they told me a long time ago that they couldn't refund a fee once it was paid, my file was apparently waiting for fee waiver approval.

Good news: My file is now correctly classified as complete.

Bad news: The delay may cost me, and I'm already at the very margin of possible acceptance.
