So Yale wants me to write them a 250 word essay on any topic in order for my law school application to be considered. Lovely. First off, 250 words is almost long enough for me to write an intro, forget about a whole essay. Second, who do they think they are anyway, asking me to write them a special essay like this? Just because they are the most selective law school on earth they think they have the right to make me jump through hoops to apply. Well 250 words isn't much, so maybe just a little hoop. But it's the principle of the thing. They think they're soooo special. They're probably right.
If anyone has any good topics for me to write about drop me an email or IM.
In other related news, I just realized that I never wrote why I want to go to law school in my personal statement. Amazing how quickly two pages can be filled without managing to say anything. It's a little late to be realizing this now too, nine of my applications are already under review so they can't be changed. It's probably all for the best. If it were discovered that I'm just in it for the money as a first step in my global takeover, a lot of schools would probably reject me. Let's just keep that little secret between us, they don't need to know. Shhhhhhhh ;-)
