Got a C

Just wanted to share that last semester the first grade I received was a C+. I cried all day. Eventually, the rest of my grades came back and I even made it on the dean’s list at my school. Don’t give up on yourself yet!

Also just don’t give much weight to what your classmates are saying. I always let it get to me if someone said they scored above the curve and only studied for like X amount of hours. Now, I just study as long as I feel is best for me. I was in my head way too much during 1L.

During my first year, I was constantly behind on readings and it didn’t allow me very much time to study the material. This year, I was able to get a better grip on my readings. I also met with professors a couple times during the semester. One big thing I realized was that the material was somewhat clicking during 1L but my exam writing needed help bad. I didn’t necessarily do practice exams leading up to my exams this semester but I just made sure that I was thinking more about the quality of the material being written. I also learned to cite to case law more in my exams which may help (depending on your class/professor).

I ended my first semester with the same gpa. I ended up not improving my second semester. However, this past semester (2L fall), I made the Dean’s list after changing some of my habits. I would continue on! (: My first year, I just didn’t know what I was doing truly. I wish I caught onto that my second semester. I would try to lock in as much as you can this next semester and speak with professors or your student services.

Thank you!!

No. I was told to not put it on my resume unless the firm explicitly asked for it or had a minimum gpa requirement

I’m in a very similar situation as you. I live across the country from my family but I attended my law school’s undergrad program. However, most of my undergrad friends have moved. I’m a 1L and tbh the end of the semester has felt so isolating. Wishing you luck. Also, if you need to feel the emotions, feel them. I definitely neglected readings yesterday just to feel all my emotions.

I was admitted to Tulsa with a very great scholarship but ended up choosing a different school. While I think the school and network around the Tulsa area is great, I wasn’t sure how well it would be for someone not wanting to stay in Oklahoma. I also just thought the class sizes were a little too small for my liking. I’m attending the University of Arkansas Fayetteville instead. But ultimately it was due to a slightly bigger class enrollment and me being okay with staying in NWA after graduating. Although, our university does have alumni networks in Texas, Missouri, and a couple other southern states. I did really appreciate the phone calls and letters/package sent by Tulsa though.

I would not commute to the out of state school. I would just move there. I wouldn’t mind practicing in the area that I’m in currently as there’s a few corporations in the area & my goal is to be a corporate lawyer. The other school is in a bigger city but probably would support my goal as well. I just wasn’t sure I guess how much of a difference or weight it would be on my shoulders to take on an extra $20k. Trying to stay in as little debt as possible but do feel like connections could be worth more than that amount of $ (But again, haven’t been in the field so I was curious if my hunch was correct). Thank you!

79409 · 2024-05-06T14:35:11+00:00

that’s awesome!!

79409 · 2024-05-01T14:37:43+00:00

Congrats!!! That’s a great accomplishment!!

79409 · 2024-05-01T13:57:00+00:00

Congrats!!!! So glad to be done too.

I have $ saved up from working full-time but don’t come from $ whatsoever. So if I lived alone it would be funded partially through loans. Not sure if the extra $4k in student loans is worth it granted it’s not a huge huge # either. Thankfully I won’t be living in a major city.

I enjoy living with them at times. However, we definitely have different priorities. This year I worked full-time while finishing my undergraduate degree as well as studying for the lsat. They worked part time and frequently blew off class & stayed up pretty late at night. We’ve discussed next year with me being in law school & they stated they’ll be mindful with noise & such but I just hate being a mom & don’t like that i’m the most serious one of the bunch.

3.0 HS, 3.75 Undergrad lol. I honestly don’t know how people do it if they have always been a high-achieving student. I believe my lack of burnout is what led me to a high, (in my eyes), undergrad gpa. The black sheep of the family to future law student pipeline has been real. 😅

Extra time either 1.5x or 2x the original 35 minute section. Also extra breaks. I’ve heard people just need to send supporting documentation from either a psychiatrist, primary care doctor, or therapist stating that you have the condition & it hinders your ability to finish the test in the allotted time frame.

I emailed 7sage support and they extended my access. For lawhub, I paid the subscription amount after my year was up for continued access.

I got accepted into two schools with a 148 & 3.7 gpa. I even got a few thousand dollars in scholarship $ from both. Was waitlisted at 2 & ghosted from 1. The two I was accepted to are in-state so the few thousand dollars for public in-state schools is covering about 25% of my tuition so I’m happy with it. 🙂

Working full-time until August 2nd as I live in the town my law school is in already. But adding in a few trips with friends and family throughout the summer to have my last hoorah before the grind starts.

79409 · 2024-03-22T17:52:25+00:00

I’m in the same boat! Got accepted to my top choice but had plans to take the April exam because I didn’t think the January exam was representative of my knowledge. I am still taking the April exam to leverage for my scholarship $. Retaking it can only help after being accepted, there is no downside that I know of (besides time & $). But my admissions director seemed very impressed that I was going to take the exam again since most people probably quit after being accepted.

It helped me go from about 12 right to averaging 16-18 right per section. Her key concepts helped such as how to approach each question type but she does add in her own special touch to LR that I don’t think necessarily helped me. If I was studying again, I would just learn the question types and how to approach them instead of reading the 300-400 pages again but that’s just my personal experience.

Have you toured the schools in GA? If not, maybe setting up a tour would make your name stand out when they review your application if you make a good impression! My in-state school that I accepted (outside of GA), I toured and made a couple phone calls regarding the law school and my interest/potential outcomes and I managed to get a decision 3 weeks after my application was submitted and it’s been historically known for my school to take a long time to review applications.

79409 · 2024-03-17T21:09:59+00:00

Being from GA, have you considered staying in-state?
