Douchiest Colleges

Cornell – Commie Big Red Commie
Yale – You’ll name your son Harrison! Or McGeorge! Or Campbell!
Duke – HAHAHAHA
UVA – Well, you are from New York or NJ or whatever, so you should fit in.
Michigan – It’s Michigan!
Penn – I don’t care
Georgetown – Hoya Suxa!

I can only say that we had an inordinate share of DBs. I doubt Penn is much better, but at least the class sizes (overall) are smaller, so you’d have a lower aggregate number of DBs. UVA is the winner if you’re in-state.

THEY’RE NOT REAL NAMES!

after law school, I too can write for BSD.

The big thing today isn’t getting an interview at 2L OCI or becoming a first-year associate. It’s sticking around to be a second-year associate. And, after law firms ended up with ostrich egg on their faces due to Above the Law highlighting mass layoffs, everything—or nearly everything—is now stealth. I know of one AmLaw in the city that no longer has any members of an associate class year, and I am sure either it’s not alone or there are others with one or two hop ons still holding on—out of twelve to fifteen. These are talented young attorneys with stellar academic pedigrees who now face zero realistic prospects other than going back to school.

Good luck, Devon. If you are doing it because you have a nearly unmarketable undergraduate degree, also consider adding time to your stay at Penn State and getting an additional degree that is marketable before applying to law school. If you are doing it for the money, remember that it is quite lottery-like now, and even if you “hit” on graduation from law school, there is a frighteningly high chance you will not continue to hit (if you go big law). If you are doing it out of your love for the law—which, at this point in your academic career, I am not sure how you would have acquired such love—then go for it, but also realize that you better love it for a considerably long time (to the tune of 2,100 billable hours per year, perhaps) because it’s not a 9-5, even when you’re a junior or mid-level partner.

At the time the chemical engineering program was in the top 5 in the nation. And the Schreyer Honors college was highly regarded and super exclusive. I really have no idea how it is now.

I was on full scholarship there. I was offered good scholarships to other schools and though my parents could have afforded me to go to a private school, they raised me to be fiscally conservative and to see through name brand status of everything, including universities. So it was totally my decision to not force them to lay out the cash for an Ivy, or MIT or one like that.

And I have never ever regretted it. Penn State’s career development/ recruiting program is second to none, especially for engineers.

That certainly won’t be going away anytime soon haha

It means it comes from the heart.

walkin’ on his fightin’ side.

Where are you Rambler? You got your ears on? Come back.

I’m not entirely sure it will take that long. It’s been a long time since I was at the receiving end of ‘Big Stick Diplomacy’…

Some of you are acting like someone broke into your house, stole your belongings, etc. There really isn’t a big difference except for more articles and additional interaction from the writers…everyone is a bit too sensitive.

Lets all take a deep breath and step back…

All this bickering and complaining is lame…its really worse that a car ride with my kids for 5 hours fighting over a DS and bags of pirate booty.

I need a drink

but lets be real. This is the internet. We’re standing around arguing about how a thread got closed because it’s Chris’ plan to fly back in a time machine to 1984 and tell you all how to think.

It’s a circular argument. Yes. Mike is gone. Yes. The new writers are different.

But. It’ll be ok. And if it isn’t. Well. It’ll probably still be ok.

I don’t mean to be quick with people. It’s why I avoid this argument. But at somepoint it’s just like “I get it”
