recruitment
OK, so I’m not really being recruited per se, but I have been getting some attention:
- Midwestern College of Law (MCOL) sent me information on an admitted students’ dinner here in my own town of residence. It’s at what is arguably the best restaurant in town. Mr. Angst is invited. We are stoked.
- In-State Law Center (ISLC) sent me a letter from the Dean today, in which he strongly encouraged me to accept my offfer.
- East Coast Law School (ECLS) had an alumni in my state contact me this evening to rave about the school and its opportunities and how much he enjoyed it. Mind you, he graduated when Truman was in the White House, so I imagine things have changed some since then, but he was very nice and terribly enthusastic about ECLS.
It’s nice to feel wanted. Doesn’t make the choice any easier. But it’s nice nonetheless.
However, I kindly request that all schools now send me actual SWAG. Or money. Preferably money. That will really show their interest. Yes. Excellent, Smithers.
If I’m a bit punchy, it’s because I had to actually leave work early due to lack of sleep. I’ve just awoken from a nice long nap in which I dreamed vague things about law school and law students. I still feel refreshed, so perhaps it’s not the law school dreams that are wearing me out.

Wow, congrats on being courted. I was also accepted to ECLS way back when, and I got nothing… absolutely nothing. Zinger is that I got my MA from ECLS a few years ago, and still nothing. Guess they only liked me for my tuition $$ or else they assumed that, having gone there once, I’d do it again.
The most swag I got from anywhere was a keychain, but it kinda made me feel like a real law student to have something with the school’s name on it.
