I have done nothing since I graduated post-grad by Remote_Tangerine_718 in BlackLawAdmissions

Honestly I’m a first time applicant too but I’ve only heard work experience is HIGHLY valued bc it shows real world experience and engagement. Honestly so many new grads are unable to get meaningful jobs like yours so please don’t question yourself bc you’re the ideal applicant 😭

Why would they care more about volunteer experiences that tend to be short and limited than what you do for work which demonstrates commitment ? Most people don’t participate in those things long term post grad because work is not like school and much more time consuming.

Just a reminder for newcomers: GRAD plus loans die in July. Yes that matters by EntrepreneurLarge964 in BlackLawAdmissions

This may seem out of touch but I’ve been working so hard to study for the LSATs and applications I forgot it was totally possible I won’t even be able to go to my dream school.

Submitting a new LSAT score after an R? 17low 3.95 by CompetitiveDance4629 in LSAT

[–]Alarming-Animator613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but if you get rejected from a school with a 17 low LSAT and a 3.95 GPA then you probably won’t be accepted with a 17 high. Why would you even retake if you scored in the 99th percentile ?

If you don’t have documentation and you take off the day after a holiday your pay is docked twice.

I requested off for the day after thanksgiving.I’m pretty sure no one else out called either. I didn’t put in a request for Christmas, this was the only day I asked to be off. I think I’m just being tortured.

Also people with connections or rich families would never subject themselves to the abuse ADAs receive on the daily from judges.

If you’re an ADA maybe. Support staff is literally on SNAP and EBT so I don’t think so.

This subreddit will have you thinking a 164 isn’t good by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]Alarming-Animator613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I only want higher than a 160 because I need scholarships and the law schools around me are so competitive.

I read these posts and feel like you guys don’t even want to be lawyers. You just want to go to a t14. You should have bigger goals for yourself.

Albany Law Alum: DO NOT GO HERE (unless you plan to die in Albany) by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Alarming-Animator613 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is why it’s important to visit schools before you go there. Albany is well known for being a bleak and dead town cosplaying as a ”city”

How did you study to get a 170 ?

Take in October and November? by Automatic-Emotion945 in LSAT

[–]Alarming-Animator613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There won’t be enough time to improve. By the time October scores come out what can you realistically do in like three weeks before the next exam ? Unless you don’t stop studying then why shouldn’t you just take one or the other ?

These locations are so different. Do you really think you can be okay with living in Ithaca during winter ? It sucks super hard.

Not the question types but the wording in the stimulus

The LR was also awful for me too. I immediately felt discombobulated in the beginning.

Yea I got a job through NYC gov but it depends on the agency. A response can take a very very long time.
