A quick definition of marital status:

Marital status refers to whether a person is single, married, divorced, or widowed. It tells us if someone has a spouse or not.

A more thorough explanation:

MARITAL STATUS

Marital status refers to a person's current state of being single, married, divorced, or widowed.

Single: A person who has never been married.
Married: A person who is legally united with another person in a formal ceremony.
Divorced: A person who has legally ended their marriage.
Widowed: A person whose spouse has passed away.

These examples illustrate the different categories of marital status. A person's marital status can change throughout their life depending on their personal circumstances. It is important to note that marital status does not define a person's worth or value.

90% of your attorneys went to Kent, but what perfect of Kent graduates are working at your firm (or making good money, or if not, getting their loans paid off by Kent)? the latter is, I'd argue, what matters more

if 90% of attorneys somewhere went to kent but you employ 10 attorneys, thats only 9 attorneys out of a possible 100+ class size at kent

100%, that's why I think the sub is untethered to reality. but/and I was aiming for tippy top schools, and I think it's not wild to have that goal if you have reasons :)

many people have different ideas of what a good outcome would be and have even more different ideas of what amount of work they would like to put to get there

Reddit in particular is so myopic about outcomes, there are large portions of the country where making 80k still gives you a comfortable life, and ~80k is often cited as the low end of the bimodal distribution of private attorney salaries

not saying reaching for a t-14 is a wild thing to do!!!! man i would go to nyu. i'm simply stating what esoterica said, people that act like not being at a t-14 means your life is over is simply not correct. but i think anyone outside of reddit would understand that.
