TT, can you even tie your fukkin shoes?Comment -
Low blow pal!!
Really not that bad, lots of good programs (Was the #1 ranked International Business school in the country when I was there for example).....Average 25%-75% SAT's of students admitted are like 1100-1280
Probably similar to Tennessee......Obviously not good when compared to a lot of other schools, but you could do a lot worse
Seems to have a solid rep up here in the NYC area based off of interviews I've been on for whatever reason

Tennessee is a shitty academic institution as well unless you want to study engineering or forensic anthropology. I've dealt with sec fans my whole life, don't have much patience with them or much respect for sec educations besides Vandy and Florida.Low blow pal!!

Sec fans were telling me how much better sec basketball was than big ten basketball bc the first 3 draft picks were sec players. Lol. Sec certainly the shit in football. But as good as their football teams are equals as stupid and obnoxious their fans are. Lol. There are some good ones though who are fans of the sports in general. A good majority of them are just sec homers who never watch out of conference games.Comment -
Idk I guess just our opinions on "shitty" are different.....I mean there are so many "no name" colleges out there that sadly don't even compare to SCAR or UTENN
Agreed, SEC academics as a whole are pretty weak......Football and quality of broads are top notch though, so its a give and take kinda thing
There were some dumb fukks at USC when I was there but most of the students that ended up graduating were sharp
The fans of SEC schools that give them a bad name are rednecks that couldn't dream about graduating from any college,let alone high school in many cases.....Not always the students I feel likeComment -
It is a retarded argument. Absolute terrible analogy by the left.
So many ways to sell this.Comment -
True, shitty is definitely relative. UT and south Carolina are probably top 50 public schools. Overall though sec schools are lacking, especially in graduate programs which unfortunately is starting to be what you really need in this economy. The only top 50 law schools in the sec was Vandy and Alabama. For the big 10 in comparison you have northwestern, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio state, penn state, Iowa all in top 50. Actually penn state may be in the 50s. Forgot.Idk I guess just our opinions on "shitty" are different.....I mean there are so many "no name" colleges out there that sadly don't even compare to SCAR or UTENN

Sports allegiances are funny though. I guess I will find out how closely guys from Chicago follow shit like sec football. I will definitely be watching it as usual. I think I'll pass on attending northwestern football games unless penn state is in town.
Edit: checked schedule, I will probably check out more games than that. Home vs Vandy, home vs Boston college, home vs Illinois.Comment -
Yeah, Big 10 academics are top notch.....no argument here
If I decide to go to Grad School (Which I have been thinking about lately) , I wouldn't mind looking at Michigan or Wisconsin or a few other Big 10 schoolsComment -
You can cover shit up with all the fancy wordage you want but at the end of the day when the wordage is finally absorbed you still have a heaping pile of shit ............Comment -
Pauly, im going to shoot you some advice man. You seem to think you have all the answers so I'm sure you will ignore it, but I'll try anyway.
People will always do what is best for them and their future/family. That will never change. And maybe others see the progression of this nation, and instead of bitch about it when it is inevitable, they prepare and make decisions which will benefit them most in the future inspire of the progression of our society. I'd advise you do the same and stop bitching about it on a message board. No one is changing their minds.Comment -
Yeah, you're right about that....
I have a decent job now, but I'm not even doing something I like.....Just took the job because its 5 minutes down the road in a laid back office and pays decent.....Starting to do some research though on grad school programs. Only issue is my GPA isn't top-notch because I kinda cruised through college the first couple years, but I would do really well on whatever standardized tests I need I'm sure (Always have killed it pretty much on these)
We'll seeComment -
I wouldn't sweat the GPA. My gpa sucked in undergrad but I did well on the LSAT and got a recommendation letter from A congressman since I grew up playing baseball with his son. Just get some solid recommendations and do upper tier on the standardized test and an elite school will give you a shot.Comment -
Your message is flawed,why?,because it is full of selfishness and avoidance,I doubt you'll be able to change but there is a great deal of people out there that just need informed, the less educated they are the better off they are to see,you see education does not measure intelligence, it only disguises it............Comment -
Pauly, I like the vibe, truly. Reminds me of my philosophical debates done at University. A bunch of questions, never an answer.
The biggest issue, is as many poignant great questions we would ask, and the possibilities that open - once we left that table, the real world was still there. A world where questions are nice, but simply academic. The real world relies on answers.
Start answering.Comment -
Thanks man....
I guess it's just like getting into college out of high school then? They like to say GPA is a big deciding factor, but in reality they want the high scores....
Even in high school I had like a 3.0 flat (joke pretty much) but got into a lot of good schools mainly because of my SAT score......Only went to SCAR because I fell in love with the atmosphere when I visited and the scholarship was too hard to turn down
Almost went to Florida, UGA, or Virginia Tech but couldn't turn down the moneyComment -
It's all about satisfying their numbers. Northwesterns average LSAT is 170 and I got a 171, so in their eyes, they just see me as a slight boost to their median so let me in. Their medians and yields and all that shit affects where they are rated, so the job of admissions is basically to bump their numbers. Score high enough and you can punch your ticket.Comment -
You want answers, go through all of my political posts,it is all there,you see the trouble with people today is they want a quick fix right here and now or they will just go on with there unnatural comfortable lives..........
I already told you how many times now, Truth is something you realize but when someone tells you truth you can only process it as faith..............Comment -
Got a 168 on the LSAT. Got offered a job by Kaplan. Law Students are basically functioning retards.Comment -
Oh'I forgot I'm talking to two know it all lawyers who believe they are above the "so called social norm"............
Actually I see now why you are giving me so much interference,you falsely believe you will somehow make it to the class of the Elite therefore you are defending them as if you belong,how naive......Comment -
Oh Pauly, you and your elite nonsense. I don't need to be in the top one percent of earners to be happy or accomplish what I want to accomplish financially. Save the nonsense for someone dumb enough to not see through it.Comment -
TTWarrior... here in Illinois it is the law to have at least the following coverage IF you own a car that is registered to drive...
Mandatory Insurance
Illinois' mandatory insurance law is one of the most significant consumer protection measures now on the books.
Complying with the Law
You are in compliance with the mandatory insurance law if you have vehicle liability insurance in the following minimum amounts:- $20,000 - injury or death of one person in an accident
- $40,000 - injury or death of more than one person in an accident
- $15,000 - damage to property of another person
Your signature on the Vehicle Renewal Registration Application affirms that your vehicle will be properly insured throughout the registration period.
see for the Auto Insurnance...if you CHOOSE and DECIDE to get a car, then you are FORCED to have insurance or face consequences if you drive without it.
now for HEALTH INSURANCE part of the equation..... the equivalent to the above would be if a state law REQUIRED an individual, say a 400 pound individual to hve the following coverage..- $20,000 - injury or death of one person in an accident
- $40,000 - injury or death of more than one person in an accident
- $15,000 - damage to property of another person
see the Mandatory Auto Insurance=Health insurance doesn't hold water, unless you require...say a big fat person to carry a card around showing that he has 20,000 dollars of coverage that the insurance company will pay the victim, if the big fat person SITS on them or injures them. Or 15,000 dollars if the big fat person breaks a bunch of furniture in someone else's house.
Now the big fat person would never be able to use THAT insurance he was forced to Buy to protech other people's things, At a doctor's offfice to receive any $ off of the actual costs associated with the visit.... NOT unless he paid a higher premium and got a higher coverage than the minimum required by law....
So yeah, if they change how health care works to the fictional account of how it would work for the FAT GUY, then yeah that argument the professor states wouldn't be a straw man that is easy to burn.
not to mention AGAIN... no one is forcing anyone to buy and drive a car.......and get Auto insurance..
you are forced to have a body, and that body by the laws of nature WILL have health....good and bad
health insurance is supposed to help defray or completely cover the costs associated with "owning a body" and having it "need" health care...
does auto-health seem different to you yet?
if not I'm gonna beat your brains and mom's kitchen with a baseball bat, and you can make a claim with my health insurance company for the damages
