@Pacifico , paging pac-daddy ... Outside of the T14, it's better to go to a school in the region in which you want to settle. That's the rule of thumb. I would not go to UTex (#15 and still has plenty of reach outside of TX/the South), for instanc…

@lpadr009 said: lmao much needed meme If it helps, I got 7/23 on my first LG section!!

Easy answer. You should always, always POE 100% of the time on LR and RC. LG is the only exception. Jonathan Wang and JY both use POE. It's a great way to catch yourself making a silly mistake. This is not the worthwhile shortcut you're looking f…
