Thanks to Reddit users, I'm going to be answering the questions that you all submitted. I am a second-year (2L) Yale Law School Student. I ran an AMA on Reddit to answer questions on what it's like to be a law student at YLS. Obviously, take these answers with a grain of salt. They are shaped by my own experience and background. Your law school experience might be different!

Feel free to leave additional questions. I'll answer them individually. Or, if there are enough additional questions, I'll answer them in another video. Question timestamps are below.

Here are my application materials: [ Ссылка ]
