I got it already. You see, the way I figure, it hurts less to pay for everything at different times than to drop, what is it, like 175$ for CAS, and then start dropping app fees back to back in case I don't get fee waivers....solid reasoning...I know.TheMikey wrote:Wondering when I should purchase CAS. Has anyone gotten it yet? Or is it typical for people to get it like a week before putting apps in?
I did! I'm honored.TheMikey wrote:Jeeves, did you see my pretzel buying PW yesterday for you and pretzel in honor of your kick ass scores? Was in the waiters thread!

But my avatar is a fry - you should have bought some of those too
Nope but I know Mellow Mushroom well from the one that was open 24/7 in Atlanta from my much younger much more stay out late and drink with friends life.R. Jeeves wrote:Yes!

Second best was Post Corner Pizza on the New Canaan/Darien CT border.
I did 4 years in carolina (not chapel hill though) and mellow mushroom was always really popular. Doubt that's the one youre thinking of though.

Outlined my ps last night, which sounds productive but really was just an excuse to put off reading comprehension drilling...
I know; it just feels like such a slog hopefully switching to the 7sage method will force me to read more actively.TheMikey wrote:gery0n wrote:Checking in.

Trust me, you don't want to slack off with RC prep, I learned the hard way.
As a recent UNC grad, I have to warn you that if it was on Franklin St., depending on when you went, it might be gone. Franklin St. has been closing places ("classic" places at that) for the past couple years.MikeSpivey wrote:Checking in to add that the best pizza I ever had was in Chapel Hill while recruiting at UNC.

I think the standard advice is to apply as broadly as possible dude. Hustle for those waivers to reduce costs, but come scholly negotiation time, you'll be glad you can play Emory off GW off Vandy (or whatever your planned outcome might be).Kopetz wrote:Checking in.

Missed you bro! These last few weeks without a regular bitches/gripes/complaints outlet has been just a little less awesome.TheMikey wrote:Meer
That was my thinking too. I've got almost everything in the t25, plus a few safeties in former hometowns. It looks like service waivers will save me 700-900 dollars this application cycle, which is great.ponderingmeerkat wrote:I think the standard advice is to apply as broadly as possible dude.

didn't you slay the LSAT? doesn't seem necessary unless your GPA is super low. but do you.Kopetz wrote:That was my thinking too.

if youre really not limited by time and money then yeah i guess there is no downsideponderingmeerkat wrote:I think the standard advice is to apply as broadly as possible dude.

Solid dude! Yea, the key is to avoid being "penny wise, pound foolish". 80 bucks is a lot per app but if you get just one school to raise your scholly amounts 5-10K by strengthening your negotiation position, you've got a great return on investment.Kopetz wrote:That was my thinking too.

Can't imagine there's a downside. Like even if it were something all the schools could know about (which it may very well be, idk), what're they gonna do, ding you for wanting to go to law school too badly?Kopetz wrote:Checking in.
