Hey...Section C dosent get pizza at meetings
And...about the studying stats...
I don't know about the rest of the 1Ls...but I'm finding them to be pretty close to accurate. Unfortunate, but true.

KN, I don't think you'll have summers...you're in A right?kn6542 wrote: Yeah, I plan on tearing a piece of slate off the side of the gorge and scratching my notes onto it with limestone for Summers' class.
I think you switch from Hillman to some other guy whose name begins with an H next semester.
Though, sidenote: I actually find Summers quite entertaining.
And taking notes by hand has not been bad at all, it keeps my notes much more focused. I have not been brave enough to try it for any other class, though, which I guess says something.
Sorry...derailing thread...
sooo...back to questions.

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Wow, really? I feel like most people are studying 4 hours a day tops. More like three maybe, during which time they read for class (not so much study, per se). I have heard that some spend more time, but I struggle to understand what more they're doing at this point!CampbellRh wrote:Hey...Section C dosent get pizza at meetings

Really? Everyone, including a few profs, have said we will have summers next semester. Where did you hear otherwise?

I'm pretty sure Summers won't be teaching next semester... that's what i'd been told.kn6542 wrote:???CampbellRh wrote:KN, I don't think you'll have summers...you're in A right?kn6542 wrote: Yeah, I plan on tearing a piece of slate off the side of the gorge and scratching my notes onto it with limestone for Summers' class.

Anyway, our schedules for next semester are also somewhere on Blackboard.

I don't know about that. It took me that long to do the reading the first week but that was only because 1) I needed new glasses, 2) I was struck with newbie retardation.CampbellRh wrote:

After that first week I average 3-4 hrs. I do plan to start attacking supplements soon, though.
Has anyone noticed any actual gunners in their section? The only thing that comes close in our section is a gunnar, but he's not a gunner. There is one dude who is more like a douche-o-matic, though. He doesn't even look people in the eye unless he thinks they're important.
Harvard is no longer graduating intellectuals, btw. They now focus on producing socially anxious nitwit douche monkeys. If you want a real education, go to MIT instead.

Ok so...
I'm interested in attending Cornell and I think I'm doing pretty good at LSAT.
What median LSAT / GPA do I need? I'm URM.

Cornell reserves a small percentage of seats for native Engrish speakers. You have a very well shot.joonbug wrote:Ok so...

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
I've been doing about 5 hours a night on average...but I also tend to get distracted, so maybe my stats are off.
The welcome info packet they gave us in the atrium has the spring schedule in it, fyi.
and KN, I'm sorry you don't get Summers...he is rather entertaining (though my opinion may change the day I get called on)
and ps, how have I still not met you?

The extra weird thing is that my suitemates are in E...so I know they see 1/2 of TLS all the time...and I don't
And Joon-you're in B?? That means I have three classes with you--and still don't know who you are. Can we please work on that?

Re: Cornell 1L taking questions
Joon-- do you not have HDTV???? I must have missed that somewhere.
WE have the TV on ALL weekend long tuned strictly to football. (we are really studious though and mute it for brief times when there isnt a game on of particular interest...)
consider yourself invited. The horror of watching football without HD, shocks me.
Even though the proper answer (regardless of reality) is,--- IRL-- girl always hotter than her pictures. But, I'll let it slide this time.

It turned out that I had free cable at my apt for the last three weeks and I didn't even know it until the cable guy shows up to "install" it.
