[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at an Ivy starting 2002, and everyone my freshman year knew what’s up, even the middle class ones. And Internet was already a thing then. [/quote]

Same here. Graduated from HYP in 2006. [/quote]

I don't think these last two posters realize the difference in the internet in 2002/2006 versus 1999 (which is when i'm assuming OP was still finishing school, since she was employed in the dot com bust).

Not only were jobs and internships not reliably available online. More important, there was zero community online.  By the time i applied to law school in 2002, there were some rumblings of very basic posts online giving some tips regarding what grades you needed to get into different law schools. It was bare bones info even then. People weren't posting the minutia of stuff like how to work summer jobs, or what info to include in your application essay.  But back in 1999 - webpages were like a corporate logo with a "contact us" icon.  Big difference in time.  By 2004 i was doing my law school on campus interview process all through online applications. Huge change in a short time.  [/quote]
