Yale Law students too secure in own abilities to participate in Business Insider’s “Most Impressive” students list

Considering the prominence of and obsession over undergraduate “resume porn”,  who even knew non-participation was even an option? As an anonymous Facebook user put it: “Wish this had been the case for Yale College too. Kudos to Yale Law!”
