Date: January 7th, 2007 10:12 PM Author: Beady-eyed green legend I'm an ectomorph, if that's what you mean.
From wikipedia: Ectomorphic body type -- The physique of an ectomorph is centered around the brain and nerves. These people are slim and possibly underweight, and will often have a hard time gaining weight and building muscle mass (in our modern times, with the emphasis on physical fitness and muscularity, this has given rise to the notion of the "hardgainer" and "hardgainer" training methodologies which do have anecdotal evidence that the physiology responds to different training but can be overcome. Stereotype: the ectomorphic person is likely to have a cerebrotonic temperament and could be described as artistic, sensitive, apprehensive, introverted, socially restrained, and highly self-aware. Examples of ectomorphs would be marathon runners, fencers swimmers, some basketball players, and fashion models. |

Didn't apply seriously to Columbia (applied, but didn't get forms in on time, etc.).
Chicago asked me to write an additional essay, but I didn't do it and subsequently got rejected.
Harvard waitlisted me and asked for an additional essay on why I would like to go to Harvard. I didn't write it and then didn't make it off the waitlist.
Yale flat out rejected me. |

(I'm not on the investment banking side. I'm on the trading side. I would say that to work on the trading side of Wall Street these days without knowing how to program is pretty tough going. All the quantitative groups use computers to crunch the numbers and run back tests, etc. People aren't exactly phoning their orders in like they used to back in the 20th century.) |

Date: January 7th, 2007 5:37 PM Author: Beady-eyed green legend Subject: When I turned down law school... I had no other options. I had a 24-hour-per-week job that paid $30K and no options to go anywhere else. I was depressed and expected myself to fail in life. Everyone who knew me told me to go to NYU because it is a great school in a great city, or go to Duke because it is a great school in a great climate and offered me a 1/2 tuition scholarship. But I looked into my soul and knew that I just did not want to be a lawyer. So I chose the riskier option and turned down law shool. In my heart of hearts I knew that I was going to hate being a lawyer. It is one of the few correct decisions I have ever made in my life, and it is only in hindsight that I see that it was correct.

Date: January 7th, 2007 6:14 PM Author: Navy Area Gaming Laptop i'm about to turn down a lateral officer to mcdermott will & emery (i have to tell them by tomorrow yes/no) to take a job closer to UVA so i can finish grad school faster and move away from practicing law full-time...
any words of wisdom? i will be leaving biglaw money soon after this and making much less for the next 2 yrs if i do this
any advice? |
|
Date: January 7th, 2007 6:26 PM Author: Beady-eyed green legend My advice is to save like mad for a down payment and buy a place if you don't have one already. Even if you buy a crappy studio, it is probably the best thing you can do for yourself in terms of long term financial solvency.

Date: January 7th, 2007 6:34 PM Author: Navy Area Gaming Laptop i'm going to move out of DC to charlottesville, va. will save a lot of money doing so.
i dont pay tuition at UVA (i have a full tuition fellowship that covers up to the amt of my out of state tuition).
i have job options there that pay a lot less but can pay living expenses and some spending money.
i'm 26. i've paid off some student loans but still have a bunch (but can make the monthly payments while i'm at UVA).
i have a JD and i'll have a PhD when i'm finished. when i'm finished i'll be able to get jobs paying biglaw-like money, but that won't be for a few yrs (as noted previously)
i anticipate some psychological "what ifs" if i ding the McDermott offer... like, when i'm working hard at UVA and writing lengthy complex papers instead of doing doc review and writing memos, i will be thinknig to myself, why did i leave BigLaw money on the table...
another factor: although i went to an HYP u/g, my JD was from a 2nd tier TTT and i consider myself lucky with my law firm experience (1 yr at a V10 and now a lateral offer at McDermott in a corporate department). so, if i ding McDermott to go to school i will feel that i "made it" (getting the offer) and then walked away form it
in the long run, it willb e good but any hints on dealing with regrets? or did you totally know you would be fine?
how did u handle that? |

Date: January 7th, 2007 6:43 PM Author: Beady-eyed green legend I have no regrets turning down law school. I just got my bonus from my finance job and am going to buy a place in New York. Life is much much better than it would have been had I gone to law school. Not everyone can count on things working out like they did for me, though, so I'm not advising everyone to ditch law school.

|
Date: January 7th, 2007 6:47 PM Author: Beady-eyed green legend Obsessing about Vault ratings is lame. Actually, doing anything for the sake of prestige is lame. I was obsessed with prestige also, and I would have gone to H or Y just for the prestige, not because I wanted to be a lawyer. When I was dinged at those two I realized that I didn't want to go to some shithole like NYU or Duke or Chicago because I was more concerned with the prestige than with being a lawyer. Once I had figured myself out, I turned down the offers and life has been better for me ever since. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=559267&forum_id=2#7370085) |

my 650 was 91st percentile and the 800 quant was only 92nd percentile. weird.
also got a 6.0 and it was around the 90th %tile also |

It wasn't like I applied for a Wall Street job directly from my TTT graduate program. Basically I got the job through a connection.

Date: January 7th, 2007 9:08 PM Author: exhilarant pale spot I also teach LSAT for one of those two companies. I'm wondering exactly how you worded your 99th percentile LSAT score on your resume. I want to basically do something similar to what you did (parlay LSAT score into good non-law job). However, I'm told that listing the actual score or percentile turns some resume readers off because they think it's pompous (i.e., they get jealous). Did you just say "Hiring standard: 99th percentile official LSAT score" (or something like that) underneath the info on your employer? Any specific info would be appreciated -- I want them to get the idea that I have good reasoning skills, but without turning them off. Thanks.

Date: January 7th, 2007 10:25 PM Author: Beady-eyed green legend I basically listed my work experience. Under each job I had a couple blurbs about what was involved. For my LSAT teaching job I just said something like "taught x number of students" and "all instructors are required to have 99th percentile official LSAT scores."
I did feel like I was preening a bit, but I didn't question it much. I was glad that I had had that job, though, because it gave me an excuse to mention the whole LSAT thing. It would have looked a little more lame if I had just mentioned my LSAT score completely out of the blue.
It never crossed my mind that the person reading my resume would get jealous. The guys in my group are ridiculously smart and they all scored in the 99th percentile of whatever tests they have taken in life. I was trying to prove I was in their league, not lord it over them. |
