I typically like hiring Tulane interns/grads in the NOLA area because they are excellent writers, and really of the ~15 I have hired only 2 haven't been extremely hard workers.
Does Tulane have a special legal writing and research focus?

This. If he’s struggling with his score, take a prep course. Heck, take one if he’s not struggling unless he’s already in the 170s.

Are the higher ranked schools he’s gotten into cheaper and in the location of the places he wants to practice?
Yes for a couple of schools from a sticker price perspective. We are waiting on schollies for a fair comparison.
The T-14, we are waiting on his admission decision and that school would likely be sticker price and a higher cost of living than most of his other choices.

I almost made that mistake going to UVA, thank goodness I wised up, that kind of debt is crushing
Kid had an interview with T-14 school, waiting for decision. Wouldn’t be much, if any, scholly. Great name, great debt. This is why we are looking at lower ranked schools offering $. Kid is a go getter, he networks. I’d rather him take on less debt with a lesser brand name. He’s got decent options.

Tulane's Sports Law program was one of the first in the nation with that focus

Kid is accepted to Tulane Law for fall 2025. Wants to pursue Sports & Entertainment Law. Got a really decent scholly. Has other offers from higher ranked schools.
Still waiting on some other schools to make a decision, but can anyone chime in on the program? Probably would not stay in LA after law school. Either NY or TX big law.

It sounded to me the heavy guy with the blonde spikey hair was trying to elude that the AA pilot could have or should have rejected the landing. He referenced a plane the prior day doing just that. Seem he’s trying to lay the foundation to push blame or at least some of the blame back to the commercial pilot.

I looked up her on the NC voter rolls and she voted in Dem primary in 2020 after voting in the Rep primary in 2016. Guessing she was Kamala all the way. Def not adorable.

re: Cardiologist putting me on the Dash Diet....

Most MDs get maybe 20 minutes of nutrition. The food pyramid is a joke. Remember these ppl said to eat margarine (seed oil) instead of butter and grains, which quickly turn into sugar, instead of eggs.
How are your triglycerides? If high, it’s clogging your blood vessels. Red meat is not the boogeyman, and it’s high in B12, which helps your nitric oxide levels, which relax your blood vessels. B12 is not found in meaningful levels in chicken or the plant kingdom.
I eat mostly eggs, meat and cheese, moderate exercise / weight lifting and try to get good sleep. Mid 50s and no HBP. My dad has taken BP meds as long as I can remember. He eats Cheerios and toast every day and has consumed on his many salads insane amounts of crap salad dressing and peanut butter sandwiches laden with soybean/sunflower seed oil. No Dr ever discusses diet with him, I guess because he is not overweight. They give him a pill instead of addressing the cause.
HBP is no joke. Perhaps for you Dehydration could be a culprit. Only water is water. Not coffee, tea, juice, sparkling water, etc. If you aren’t drinking 64 oz of pure water, try it and see if it helps your BP. Should help relax the blood vessels.
tldr: not a fan of the Dash diet
Best to you in getting the BP to normal range. :cheers:

Congratulations on your progress. I’m a big fan of eggs, meat and cheese, real butter. Lots of nutrition there, protein, B-12, omega 3, iron, K2, zinc, selenium.
I don’t believe LDL is the boogie man we have been led to believe. I think insulin and triglycerides are more destructive. Not to mention seed oils. Glad to hear you are on a healthier path!
