THAT. Nothing you can do at this point, right? You got a higher LSAT score than I have. Did you apply to UVa or any of those other schools? Regardless, UT is a good school. I have a friend in the Soc program there. He loves it.
Exactly. I didn't apply to the T14 other than NU because I thought my perception of work experience was different from theirs
It is, and as a UT UG I'm glad to be staying here. It is a really awesome public institution that I'm proud to be a double graduate of!

Not a double graduate yet.
My friend told me Austin is gay friendly, mostly, but as he is a POC and queer, he says "Don't leave Austin." lol

Haha true!
Yes it definitely is. The big cities here in general are really quite liberal, but you get too far out into the boonies/west texas/pine curtain and you are really in trouble.

I wonder what it will be like in Virginia. I guess I can just hop on a train to DC if I need to escape lol

Yea I think you're in a similar boat as me though, where there aren't many schools worth transferring to since you're already so high. If I got good enough grades, I'd only consider transferring to H (Y and S wouldn't happen) or maybe Berkeley, since I'd love SF biglaw.

We better! We will have to coordinate with pink shirts on Tuesdays and only sweatpants on Fridays. I want to live in Cali eventually, hopefully UVa will take me there.

I really don't like the idea of transferring on a personal level. What if I have to find a new apartment!?!?!
All jest aside, I'm not counting on it unless I end up magically doing amazingly well.

I love wustl and if I have the grades to transfer then most jobs should be open to me, so I probably wouldn't even if I could.

Exactly. I'd only do It because I'm a Harvard wore.
I'd take cali second to texas, depending on location. Lavlaw is gonna be wonderful.

Don't get used to it. I'm just putting off studying for a bit, then business as usual here on TLS.

DCNTUA better look at this shit before I take it down.
And yeah, the penguin is new. Wore it once when I went out drinking and I think I may have barfed on it and thrown it away.
