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.

WashU hides their outcomes, which I think indicates that they think it underperforms their peers, though it's still pretty good

UVA is really the king of the Texas market, for whatever, reason but yes UT can never fall too far by being the only top school in a large market
