Pretty well. I'm very impressed by the teaching ability of my professors so I don't regret Chicago (because perhaps it is true that Chicago gives you a better serious legal education).

There is probably more deadweight at the bottom of the class here than at Chicago, but probably more strong students in absolute terms (the 75% LSAT here is 173, after all).

Yeah, I am losing motivation (though with the end of the semester approaching I'm getting nervous). I think it is most manifest in wanting to race to the end of a case while reading. Sometimes you just give up halfway through and skim the rest.

He hadn't accepted yet, either, and the firm probably retracted after hearing him speak.

Yes, I look at some people and literally cannot fathom finishing below them in the curve. These are people who are equivalent in caliber to the retards in my highschool Algebra class.

I am going to concur with this. At any school in the T14, the student body has demonstrated significant ability to achieve academically. This is especially true of even higher ranked schools like Columbia.

While students now might not be articulate (or prepared for class), you can certainly bet that they will remedy the problem by the time exams hit.

Yes, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to finish in the bottom 50% of the class. Anything can happen. But it just seems that certain students aren't "serious" like you would find at a grad program or top engineering undergrads.

i don't know if you're a bright guy or not, but your tone is better correlated with people who do well than justice scalito's. i, for one, figured i'd end up near the median; i ended up at the very top. all the people i knew who insisted everyone else was an idiot ended up doing so-so: like, lower stone scholar (which is above the median but not by that much).

I was exaggerating a bit...my point was that before the year started I imagined a completely different student body, one that no doubt would have been leaps and bounds beyond a lazy TTT stoner like me in terms of innate intellectual aptitude. From what I've seen that's simply not the case.

BTW, do you know if lower Stone would make one competitive for a H/Y transfer?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=295739&forum_id=2#4267949)





Date: November 11th, 2005 3:51 PM
Author: Poppy blathering principal's office

Stone is the top third of the class. That's around 115 students. Not that prestigious. I have a hard time believing H/Y is willing to accept that many (not that all of those 115 -- or any of them, for that matter -- are gonna want to transfer, but you get my point). I'd guess that you have to be closer to Kent (top 1-3%). I get the sense that top schools are more likely to take the top students from lower ranked schools than good students from other top schools. The latter just don't need the boost as much. Why waste the finite space on someone who's only gonna get a marginal benefit out of going to Harvard instead of Columbia, as opposed to the person who's transferring from Brooklyn Law School to Harvard, and is thus in a totally new ballgame?

But I don't really have a clue what I'm talking about.

"Some of the class comments (especially by URM's though I hate to say it) are just horrible"

Is this a fair statement? Let's recall a certain series of comments by a certain girl in Civ Pro. She was not an URM. There have been dumb comments from just about every demographic, so I do not know if I agree with this.

Yes, perhaps my comment is off the mark. I only said URM because I have this one person in mind who is in all my classes that is especially bad.

Also, I don't really criticize people who get cold-called on and give bad answers (God knows that more often than not, I have no idea what the prof is talking about). It's the people who volunteer and talk incessantly, yet make tagential points or fail to grasp basic concepts.

I don't know anything about the 3rd year London program, so I'll just ignore that question instead of talking out of my ass.

People are down on Lenfest just because it is prohibitively expensive. Despite what the brochures say, I think the cost comes out to $1400-$1500 a month. This isn't bad for NYC, but really a poor value compared to some of the apartment shares you can get through University Approved Housing. It itsn't atypical to pay $850 a month, share a reasonably sized apartment a block from the law school, and have a *very large* bedroom.

Nah, I think the law students are fine, and I happen to like my roommates a lot (except for that Columbia JD tool). Very few law students share with other grad students, though it does happen (e.g. business or PhD students). A bit more common is to share with other law students, but 2L's and 3L'S. The vast majority room with other 1L's, though I don't know the exact percentages.
