[Patrick]

No, as a matter of fact it did not, but it did close my browser again :x

So. Where did you go to college?

So. Where did you go to college?

I just graduated from UVM, which in Latin stands for University of the Green Mountains, but which has come to be known as the University of Vermont. I hated the social life and area of the country, but altogether it provided me with a decent education. I majored in Politics, and double minored in history and economics. The school is on its way up, with 300 million in construction last year. I'm glad I'm out of there.

[Patrick]

^Me.

[castevens]

Haha, had to get credit for that post, huh? :)

Well you're way ahead of me now, but can't hurt to keep trying!

I'm, as everyone probably already knows, at Northeastern University in Boston. I am going for my doctorate in pharmacology, and I am spending this summer working at a pharmacy in Rhode Island.

excellent money to be made in the pharmacy business, am i right? I have a friend who put herself through college as a pharm tech. I applied to northeastern law and went on a tour last summer. is the law school near where you attend or is it a separate campus?

[castevens]

Same campus. My room last year (Willis Hall) was facing that Law School's "Campus" (2 buildings, I think). My girlfriend is applying to NU Law this upcoming year.

Have you started law school yet, or are starting next year?

[castevens]

excellent money to be made in the pharmacy business, am i right?

I was just looking at the salary statistics, and it is a well-known fact that Pharmacy has one of the highest starting salaries (but very little upward movement when seniority sets in), but I was still suprised at the numbers. In Boston, the middle 50% made 135k-145k with benifits included.

Also, it is one of the most sought-after majors in college, with one of the biggest rejection rates. It is estimated that in 2020, there will be 400,000 jobs in pharmacy, and only about 200,000 pharmacists.

Yeah the "campus" is quite small...possibly even one building.

Good luck to your girlfriend, she will need it to get into NU law. I was rejected, not even waitlisted, and I had excellent statistics (even Villanova accepted me). People look at that list of top law schools and think NU Law isn't much because it is ranked 85th in the nation (compared to BU at 20th) but to tell you the truth, the bottom line is all that matters and they have one of the best programs in the country (paid internships for credit) and they are HIGHLY selective. best of luck to her, my rejection could have been a flip a coin deal so i dont mean to make it sound like its impossible to get in, but man was i shocked when i was denied admission. I'm sure your program was equally as selective.

I have not begun law school yet, I start August 31 of this year. I just graduated two weeks ago. dont really wanna go back to school :x

[castevens]

She has not taken the LSATs yet, so she is very nervous about that (because we have heard from other sources that NU is nearly impossible to get into), but she has a 3.6 GPA in History right now. Thanks for the good-luck, I will pass it on to her, but it is good to know that she will probably have to apply to other schools.

(Did you know that NU Law doesn't have grades??)

Best of luck to you at Maine Law! Keep us updated on how everything's going up there.

By just getting into law school, you've proven yourself to be the best of the best!

[Patrick]

haha thanks...trying not to let that realization set in so that I don't look down my nose at other people and so I dont begin to think of myself as somehow better than the average person...thats when lawyers become "lawyers." and no one likes a freakin "lawyer." well, we'll see how I feel after the first year, I hear its about the hardest thing a human brain can ever do haha. if i make it through then i'll be proud of myself.

OKAY, now I have some advice for your girlfriend as a new veteran of the application process.

1. History is an excellent major to have (one of my minors was history). Law schools look at what course of study you chose as an undergrad, and anything which develops your critical reasoning and writing skills is a BIG plus. A C+ in history is better than straight A's in Nursing or something...so thats good.

2. tell her not to worry about the LSAT, just take a prep test (offered free at most colleges once or twice a year). That will let her know where she stands without any prep. then simply work on the areas that were below average or that shed wish to improve on. AND< this last point is very important, tell her not to study a prep book to death, like i did, because it can seriously derail you on test day. I ended up having to take the LSAT over again because on the day of the test I was focussing so much on the little tricks and shortcuts that the prep book gave me that I actually had very little time left over to focus on THE ACTUAL QUESTIONs. my score (149) reflected that. 150 is average. I then took the test again, with no prep, and I improved SIGNIFICANTLY. Just tell her to brush up on "skimming" so that she need not waste time on reading the passages in the reading section, and have her focus on strategies for answering the "logic puzzle" sections. I am hesitant to call the test a breeze, but if you relax, people tend to do much better. pass that on and she will do fine i bet.

3. If she wants a degree of relaxation come next year, have her apply to Suffolk University as her first application. It is the most technologically advanced law school in the country and they would accept someone with a 3.6 GPA in a heartbeat. Myself and two of my friends applied there and we were accepted within 2-3 weeks. other schools took several months. its not a bad school either, its just at the bottom of the boston area list. but its still very well equipped to form lawyers for todays world. half of mass legislators are suffolk grads.

my apologies on the long post 8)

yeah thats impressive. I actually wanted to go into medicine when I was younger and I toured the Mass college of Pharmacy and Allied Health Science (MCPHS) in Boston and one of the major emphases there was how well-paid pharmacists and related positions are.

I think economics is like number two or three highest paid major starting, but thats only at $40,000 a year (nationally), so 100+ isnt that bad by comparison. starting lawyers from most national schools (including ANY in the boston area) usually earn $125,000/year. In portland I wont be so fortunate, but the cost of living here is also dramatically lower. The highest offered salary in portland for a beginning lawyer is at pierce atwood ($73,000/year). this seems like peanuts but for this region it is big bucks haha.

[castevens]

Don't apologize for the long post! I appreciate it greatly! Thanks for the info, I'll write more later

[castevens]

Great, once again thanks for the information! I passed it on to her, and she appreciates it too. Question: Which schools (and is NU one of them) average LSAT scores as opposed to taking the top score?

Also, what was your undergrad major? I don't know if you already mentioned it, ill check

I began pre-medical. I will admit it was too much of a challenge, and thats why I switched. I transferred into the political science program (keep in mind this was right after september 11, which happened my senior year in HS) and I was psyched to change the world. found out that was kind of looked upon by most people as a fluff major, so i picked up economics as a second major, with history as my minor. so for the longest time i was a double major in economics and political science, minoring in history. unfortunately since i switched too late i was unable to complete all of my economics courses and consequently i ended up with a double-minor in history and economics with political science as my major. thats a long answer but i had to stress it for my own sanity because to say i was a political science major doesnt do my course list justice...i am only TWO courses short of an economics major (and they could have been easy electives, i took all the hard stuff)!!! it really bugs me sometimes. but anyway, to give you an idea of what my transcript looked like, it was filled with mostly courses from pols, econ, and hst subjects. But I know plenty of people with history as their majors who have gotten into top name schools.

and on the averaging part, this varies by institution but most schools take an average score. one that sticks out in my mind that does not do this is the University of Pittsburgh, and I think Catholic University in Washington DC may also take the highest of the two or three scores. anyhow, the best idea is to do your best the first time around, which makes worrying about such things un-needed and which allows you to have free time to do your apps and stuff without worrying more about that damn test. take it earlier, she'll feel more relaxed over the summer as she heads into the fall in which she will apply. if you have any additional questions feel free to ask me because as of right now i am unemployed (lots of free time), bored, and just went through this whole process not even 6 months ago.. it is a very stressful time but there is light at the end of the tunnel haha.

I know several top law grads from suffolk and northeastern that can not find a job period. They would be willing to take anything at this point. Your estimate of 125k is something in the harvard grad range.

well it could be the case that at the moment the market is saturated with lawyers in boston...however, the 125k/year estimate was not my own, it is the general estimate of the schools themselves, and is widely known as the standard figure for most national institutions. let me find an example.

[castevens]

Congrats, BosDev! You broke the ice as the first non-castevens/Patrick poster in this thread!

[Patrick]

Here is a link for Boston College Law school statistics (I was rejected, my top choice). if you scroll down it will say that 98% were employed X months after graduation and the median salary of those surveyed was $125k/year. although the median and mean can be misleading, this is a statistic that I have seen over and over again for most grads of top law schools. the school i will be attending is not a top tier school and the median is around $50k/year, but a place like suffolk where most grads will work in high paying mass jobs should have around 125k/year. you said you graduated in 2000 from BU, meaning if you have friends your own age who are new lawyers they would have only been practiving for three years, maybe even less if they took time off. might this have something to do with their troubles? also, class rank matters to top firms in big cities like boston...perhaps they were not in the top 1/3 of their class?

[bosdevelopment]

These schools blow a lot of hot air about the average salaries upon graduation. My advice: get a job as early as possible and take it as seriously, if not more seriously than your classes. Without experience nobody's going to be willing to hire you.

[castevens]

My sister is in that limbo right now. All of the jobs that she wants in her field (landscape architecture) require 3-10 years of job experience. But how do you get that experience if every place requires at least 3? Shes pretty much looking for exceptions right now.

Two of my buddies that went to BU graduated suffolk law in the top 10%. Another was in the 19th percentile at Northeastern. None have been able to hold a job (one not even finding one) since last May (over a year). They didn't work during school, and this is undoubtedly what hurt them but 125k is a pipe dream.

you are exactly right. academic learning translates into nothing in the real world, it is experience that really counts. however, what it does do is signal to your employers that you can learn skills on the job, so in that sense, everytime you hear a kid say "when am i ever going to use this stuff" the answer is: never. Northeastern U school of law has an excellent program where instead of classes all three years you spend most of your time learning hands on in boston's top firms for credit...and sometimes pay. the top paid NUSL student last year was making 2k/week but i think they said he was an exception and he also put in way more hours than normal....but anyway, point is, you are right about the experience stuff so your advice should not be brushed aside, i have heard numerous people say the same thing.

I could be mistaken but I think you have to work during school at northeastern, i think its part (a big part) of the curriculum. also, did you mean he was in the top 19%, or 19th percentile?

also, 125k/year is in the private sector, and many people choose to go into the public sector, which is lower paying. BC law grads get extremely high salaries. for instance, when I was at UVM I had a work-study job in the general counsel's office (UVM attorneys office) and the guy i worked for was a BC law grad. at my school you could look up on the internet the salary of any faculty or staff member. i looked him up. he made $88,000/year and we are talking about a 39,000 person town in northern vermont.

No but you can be Cat Stevens. But then again, you can't even be that. You'd have to settle for Yusef Islam if you wanted that...

[chumbolly]

Patrick, a couple words of advice. I'm a law school grad who started out my career at one of those big firms that 2Ls lust after. The reason I took that job is because, having not been a lawyer, i didn't know shit about the practice and I measured everything by the salary numbers. All your classmates in law school will want those jobs except for a few weirdos that care about "public interest" and whatnot. Well, that big firm job made me miserable. A lot of my friends had similar jobs and a more unhappy bunch you could not imagine. Sure, we had fancy apartments, but we never saw them and on the rare occasion I'd go out with friends, I was THAT guy that did nothing but bitched about his job. Well, that guy sucks. With one or two exceptions, the only people I know that I graduated with that really enjoy their jobs are those that avoided the big firms -- prosecutors, defenders, city attorneys, etc. I've left the big firm and I'll never go back. My quality of life is much better now. Some people can thrive at a big firm, but very few would say they love their job.
In short, big firms pay those big salaries for a reason: they've got to have one thing to keep their associates from running far, far away. That salary is like a pair of golden handcuffs. Of course, it'll pay the student loans and the mortgage, but please, when you start sending out your resume as a 2L, don't judge the job by the size of the paycheck.

Ehh...no one is, really. Some of the brightest kids I knew at UVM got low LSAT scores. They say it is the second most difficult standardized test. tell her to apply to suffolk, they accepted me immediately. Its the most technologically advanced school in New England.

Yep, the power failure clobbered both LiveJournal and Typepad. They're back up now.

Wow, sounds like the net's fairly dependent on infrastructure in SF. Can't wait for the next earthquake...

[stellarfun]

The power problems in San Francisco started at about 2 PM PDT, long after this forum hiccuped.

I wonder if it was related to this (http://valleywag.com/tech/breakdowns/365-main-outage-causes-aftershocks-in-web-world-282072.php)?

No dire emergency here, but..

for the last week or two I've been having serious trouble accessing this site, and this site alone. All I keep getting are "timed out" browser messages, and after I hit the reload button about five times (wasting five minutes..) will I actually get to the main forum menu. But at this point I don't even bother to try that because I'll have to repeat the reload procedure another 5-10 times, wasting even more time, before I'll actually get to a point where I can read a thread, let alone post anything.. it's aggravating! I'm still using my Mac and Firefox as always, and nothing significant has changed with either of them, so I dunno.. any tech savvy people have any ideas?

I'm typing this at the library, and who knows when I'll next be able to check up on any responses.. so uh until then play nice guys.

[briv]

That's weird, KZ. Has anyone else been having problems?

Hopefully when the board switches over it will solve any problems people have been having. I've got the software and it shouldn't be very much longer at all. Im going to try very hard to get it done over this weekend.

You can get a preview of test site here (http://architecturalboston.com/vbulletin/). I encourage members to log in and get to know it. Anyone who does, let me know of any problems you encounter.

[czsz]

I've been having similar problems. I have even more difficulty loading the test site, actually.

[statler]

Briv,
The test site seems to be work ok for me except it won't accept an avatar.
I dropped you a note in Board Issue forum over there.

[vanshnookenraggen]

Also it says I have less posts (post count) than I do on this board.

[briv]

Im a bit concerned to learn that people are experiencing long load times for the board. I find this especially surprising because for me it has been loading faster than ever. Maybe this is a browser or OS issue. Whatever it is I would really like to get to solve this problem. Let me know if it persists.

Statler, I basically agree with all of your suggestions. Im still working on the icons and resolution issues. I'd like to have one default layout that fits all rather than making people adjust the theme themselves. Hopefully I can get this done soon. Also, believe I fixed the avatar problem -- keep in mind that when we switch over you're going to have to upload it again though.

Van, I used a few-week-old backup of the board for the dummy site. When we switch that test site will be deleted and the new one should be totally up-to-date. I did a quick and dirty conversion just to see if it the users, posts, etc. would carryover, which they did without any problems.

Thanks for the input guys.

[JimboJones]

Is this the right place for this?

The new site design looks great, thank you for putting in the work.

Negatives are, it's a bit busy with all the graphics, but we can get used to that.

Only thing I don't really like is, when you copy and paste an article, the font on the article headline is way too big. I assume this is part of the .css file ... if you don't like it, either and are able to change it, perhaps it could be shrunk? I know, minor quibble.

Thanks again.

[statler]

When I quote an article I usually bold and enlarge the font on the headline. It just a style thing.
If it bugs everyone else I'll stop and make it the same size as the rest of the text.

how do you bold or enlarge something in this forum? the buttons that used to let you do that aren't there anymore.

In the upper corner click User CP
Then click Edit Options
Scroll down to Miscellaneous Options
Set to either Standard Editor or Enhanced Interface

(Briv - either of those should be set to the default)

Thanks for clearing that up!
