@Mountaineer99: It's probably NYU, not CLS. I have a hard time keeping them straight.

Or it could be a psyop lol like “this will make em stick around til august when we reallyyyy need to fill 20 spots from yield projection failures” lol

but i remember someone saying that usually they try to maintain whatever percentage of whatever type of applicant in their class that they want. like if they want x amount of PI focused applicants theyll look for that first regardless of if theyre on the special or regular, or for a certain LSAT/GPA median, age/level of WE, etc

people who want big law? what were your essays like? genuinely no hate, but i don't know how i would write one of those. Like im passionate about mergers and acquisitions.. lol. but forreal, i'm jw

at the risk of sounding like an incel i can assure you that is painfully untrue lmao

@crybaby2024: i imagine stressing the intellectual challenges associated with that kind of practice over the ends
Mountaineer99
15:55
i'm not one of them though

i made a PI-focused application but i imagine being like "i like tough challenging jobs and working hard and i appreciate the law and helping the world run smoothly"

Crybaby2024 message me next year and i show u mine lol

like that's what i think i would do if i wanted big law. Just cuz its so much easier to write a compelling i wanna save the world essay than like "i love helping the economy and the poor marginalized 1%" lol

i can also imagine it reads like a business school application
SeanStrickland2024
15:58
Lmao yep I said I wanna help people, in reality I just want money

like "this is what im good at so i want to do it"

everyone wants PI on their law school application

But if you can write a good "here's why I think securities regulation is important and I want to learn about it" you'll stand out against all the "I want to be an international human rights lawyer"
babybunny
15:58
cuz it makes you sound like a “good person”

has any school ever calculated what % of applicants come in wanting to do PI vs what % of alumni end up in PI 5 years out of law school
SeanStrickland2024
15:59
I know it’s like 60 percent at nyu do bl and most probs say pi goin in

@CTCSH: girl the way i am scrubbing this site from my mind the second I give up on my WL wetdreams, re: "come to you next year"

@UnwrittenOssifiedRoadrunner: don’t think so

@SeanStrickland2024: to be fair a lot of people do big law right out of getting out of school and then go into PI once their finances stabilize
SeanStrickland2024
16:02
Lmao true but then a lot also get used to having money and then don’t leave
manifestT14acceptances
16:02
also true!

Personally I’m not working lawyer hours for 60k a year for “public interest”
