A quick definition of perk:

Term: PERK

Definition: A perk is a special benefit or privilege that someone receives in addition to their regular pay or salary. It's like a little extra bonus that makes their job or position more enjoyable or rewarding. For example, some jobs offer perks like free snacks, gym memberships, or extra vacation days. The word "perk" is short for "perquisite."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A perk, also known as a perquisite, is a privilege or benefit given in addition to one's salary or regular wages.

For example, an employee may receive a company car or a gym membership as a perk in addition to their salary. These perks are meant to incentivize and reward employees for their hard work and dedication to the company.

Perks can also be given to high-level executives or government officials as a way to attract and retain top talent. These perks may include private jets, luxury accommodations, or other extravagant benefits.

Overall, perks are a way for employers to show appreciation for their employees and provide additional incentives for them to stay with the company.

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march

Hello. To the gooners that have been on this site for 2+ years, you might remember me, or you might not. I was a high school freshman back then asking for advice (obvi pretty dumb at that age), and now I am a junior going to apply to colleges this summer. I had a few questions for the T14 law students here.
13:01
1. Does major matter in law school admissions? I want to go into corporate and/or IP law, so I'm thinking about majoring in Finance at some schools and Political Science at others, depending on which is stronger. I want a good job outlook in case I change my mind in the process, I'm pretty young after all. 2. To the T14 KJD admits: Give me your best advice. I want to get into T14 law schools, and similar to college admissions into undergrad, I wish I knew a lot of stuff earlier. What are some things you can tell me that can increase my chances of admission significantly?
13:03
3. How important is the undergrad program you go into? Will it help you in law school admissions and/or job placement and networking?
13:05
4. My most important question: Think back to when you were 17 (my age). If there was something you wish you knew then, what would it be? This can be anything. I don't have many people around me that go into law (everyone either goes into business or CS/engineering), so your advice is valued and highly-regarded by me.
@ParaamShinde: If you are going to go to Law School, find out and make sure you attend an undergraduate school that is on a 4.3 grade scale, not a 4.0. Regardless of what LSAC says, they do NOT weight this scale to account for schools that do not give A+ grades and thus, disadvantages applicants who are on a 4.0 scale. A very overlooked pro tip that makes a huge difference, at least today. Good luck.

@ParaamShinde: Finance and PSCI will not help with IP Law. They barely help with business. Undergrad will not help very much. LSAT & GPA are everything. Job placement/networking maybe so. Advice for my 17 year old self? Just keep doing what you feel like doing. Any advice would be wasted on my 17 year old self. Listen to instinct over modern logic more. Be more blunt with people. Hang out with better people. Realize sooner that factors like class matter in society no matter how many people say we are all equal.

@Girafffffffffffffe: Can always read classic political theory. Should always start with The Apology, go on to The Birds, The Republic. If you want some alt-right stuff like these guys are suggesting, The Turner Diaries & Day of the Rope by Devon Stack. Day of the Rope is a meme though.
