Okay, ricz, why not answer a few questions?

<p>Ricz,</p>

<p>If you are really a law school admissions director, I'd genuinely welcome your particpation on this site. But, I am beginning to think you are one of those masters of "technical truths"--you know, one of the guys who says things that are clearly intended to make you think X but who then says "Oh, I never SAID X, you just implied it." Rereading your messages, it's clear you never actually SAID you were an admissions director at a law school, just as you never actually SAID an applicant had to explain why (s)he chose a "light" major like history in r law school applications...It's just that you seem to be well...acting in a not wholly straightforward manner. </p>

<p>So, please stopped being cutesy--and answer a few questions with a yes or no. Answering them won't "out" you.
1. Are you currently employed by an ABA-accredited law school?
2. If the answer to #1 is yes, do you work in admissions at that law school?
3. If the answer to #1 is no, have you ever worked for an ABA-accredited law school?
4. If the answer to 1 is no, but the answer to 3 is yes, did you work in admissions at that law school?
5. Do you have a J.D. or LLB?
6. If the answer to #5 is yes, is your JD or LLB from an ABA accredited law school?
7. If the answer to #1 and /or #3 is yes, is that ABA accredited law school one currently ranked in USNews' top 100? In the top 50? In the top 25.
8. If the answer to #1 or #3 is yes, is that law school public or private? </p>

<p>Oh, BTW, I did NOT major in history in college. It is, however, the second most common undergrad major among current Harvard Law School (non-clinical ) faculty. Somehow, I think law schools regard it as a pretty respectable major.</p>

<p>By ricz's non-response to this, despite his posts since then on 'his' thread, I'm assuming he is purposely ignoring these questions.</p>

<p>We can always wait for concerneddad's confirmation, right?</p>

3

<p>after a few days away from the forum - I am lost. lol. :D</p>

4

<p>Maybe you are this 'ricz' fellow, Wildflower. ;)</p>

5

<p>What?!?!? lol. Hmm, sure, and all of a sudden I have a JD/LL.B? Man, am I on the fast track, or what? :D</p>

<p>Last time I check I was applying to colleges. <em>roll eyes</em></p>

6

<p>It was the 10x full-time program. You've got what it takes, with those 'unbelievably' long hours.</p>

7

<p>Ok, I am caught up -read the whole Ricz thread. That was funny! lol. :D</p>

<p>Any thoughts from the moderators, on this matter? Last I read his ID was beng verified...was it ever?</p>

<p>I need to go back to my 'unbelivably' long hours...2 more weeks...yay!</p>

<p>wf</p>

<p>P.S. I'll probably sleep for 'unbeievably' long hours during the first week of the summer - I feel like a zombie.</p>

<p>Given some of Ricz's answers, I do very much doubt his credibility as a law school admissions director. No one who is in the business of rejecting roughly 80% of the people who apply (as even 2nd/3rd tier schools have about a 20% acceptance rate) is that positive about the process.</p>

9

<p>I'm flattered by all of the attention you are giving me. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to provide you with my contact information, but as I explained to the moderator, it would be appreciated if you would not disclose this information on the board. Thanks everyone!</p>

10

<p>That's ridiculous. To some extent, we've all disclosed SOME information, although none of it personally identifies us. Jonri's questions are designed to do just that: to get some general information out of you (do you/have you ever worked for an ABA accredited law school?), which in no way compromises either the integrity of your admissions process nor your anonymity.</p>

<p>On the original thread, Moderator Concerneddad posted the following:</p>

ricz claim is in the process of being verified. Until such time as there is verification, I would just advise everyone to remember that this is public web-board and take all advice -- from anyone -- with a grain of salt.

<p>So far, I have not seen a followup by CD. Wondering why.</p>

12

<p>OK, I have for the thrid, and final time, asked ricz to supply me with verification. He has not yet done so, but still might. But, until he does, I would just not assume he is what he says he is. If something changes, I will post here. If not, then I would take this as the final answer.</p>

<p>CD</p>

<p>CD"</p>

<p>This is all I needed.</p>

14

<p>I am not sure why we are assuming ricz is male. In any case, s/he has offered some insights into the law school admissions process via pm, and has told me by pm that s/he has responded to concerneddad, also via pm. So the next step will be to hear from concerneddad.</p>

15

<p>aparent5: see my post above</p>

16

<p>The plot thickens.</p>

17

<p>CD, ricz pm'd me after your 11:39 post above....</p>

18

<p>it shows that you're the director of admissions at an ABA accredited law school. </p>

<p>Again, straightforward answers to my questions could not possibly "out" you.</p>

19

<p>wow this is kinda fun, reading all these lawyers and lawyers-to-be here trying to find the right evidence. law school isn't this fun is it? jk</p>

20

<p>Oh, BTW, ricz, you can send ME your contact info in a PM. </p>

<p>Your response is less than honest...I'm not asking for how to get in touch with you. I'm asking a very simple straightforward question--ARE YOU EMPLOYED AS AN ADMISSIONS OFFICER BY AN ABA-ACCREDITED LAW SCHOOL? </p>

<p>Yes or no.</p>
