And the Winner Is….
So, my law school application process is complete — not that I’ve heard from every school, but I’ve made my decision.
In the end, I withdrew from Emory Law School, Duke Law School, and Vanderbilt Law School because, well, they were too slow (and in the case of Duke, they just really sucked).
I ended up perpetually waitlisted at Georgetown University Law Center — which I lost all desire to attend after their turn-your-back-on-the-Attorney-General stunt, and Northwestern School of Law, which was just too hippie for me anyway (even with Steven Calabresi and John McGinnis on faculty).
Fortunately I have had a number of great options to choose from. I was accepted at George Washington University Law School, University of Virginia School of Law, University of Michigan Law School, and, making it very difficult, University of Chicago Law School — home to such geniuses as Judges Posner and Easterbrook.
This all might’ve left my final destination up in the air still given that I haven’t yet heard from Columbia Law School, Penn Law, Stanford Law School, and of course, the much revered Yale Law School.
But in the end none of that matters. Why? Because in the fall, I’m heading up to:
Yes, yes, this lucky bastard is in, and all the other schools are out. Even Yale. In fact, I’m already beginning to despise that small school in New Haven. Give me some time — in fact, give me to this weekend when I go visit HLS, my new home — and I’ll be the most obnoxious Yale Law hater around. HLS all the way, and nobody can’t tell me nothing!
Just figured I’d put that out there, as if anyone cared. I still needed an outlet for my hyper-pretentiousness.
I might blog while up there; either here (and this blog will be transformed into a Claudio-is-in-law-school-and-Pat-has-a-real-job blog) or one some other site of my own (less likely). But it all depends. Some little birdy told me that the first year of law school SUCKS ASS.
We’ll see. Next on the docket: Simpkins v. Harvard Law School.
