Windsor MIT '22, Harvard College Advisor

I am the half of LSD that didn't take the LSAT, or go to law school (Sorry about that). But I did go to MIT business school while surrounded by law students and lawyers, so I am somewhat qualified to talk about the intricacies of law school apps and finances.

Windsor (the dog) didn't write this but he WAS a Resident Tutor and career advisor at Harvard College with me, so deserves some credit.

TabooIrateClam
17:23
i mean idk why someone could answer that
TabooIrateClam
17:23
but I'm just wondering
@AllCASNoWaves: yeah, that's the catch
TabooIrateClam
17:23
🤔
the washU catch is their right angle, but If you can get past that
hook em
17:23
tbh everyone has different factors to their decisions and some people will take the opposite of what you do so I just think it's personal

I mean I didnt apply to great schools like UVA and Mich
GeneralKoala
