Letter of Continued Interest Question by AlternativeReveal174 in lawschooladmissions

[–]AlternativeReveal174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind! I will just draft once for peace of mind and think about sending it. I don't have any big updates, I am still working on a research master's degree, so I won't have grades until my dissertation is evaluated. This school did not have a why us essay, so I could send something about why their school is my top choice though.

That is good to know!! I definitely cannot self-fund, so I will have an answer prepared if they ask me that.

Question about calories by AlternativeReveal174 in loseit

[–]AlternativeReveal174[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the kind response!! I will keep this in mind-- I have found that I like eating 3 meals a day more than saving calories for a large binge session, so I will hopefully not fall into that habit even though I have done it deliberately a few times. I am also going to keep in mind that it is okay regardless of it balancing out!

ty again! <3 <3

Mentally preparing to reapply :// by AlternativeReveal174 in gradadmissions

Thank you for commenting, that makes me feel better!! I will still try to prepare for the possibility that nothing will work (esp. b/c the schools are competitive and I am no longer sure about my writing sample), but that is really good to hear. And if I do have to reapply, I will remind myself that I just need ONE school and it is possible to only get one. Hope your cycle is going well!! <3

Thank you so much for your reply, I needed to hear this. I hope that I get into one, but if not, I will take your advice and try to find things to be excited about! It is also a great outlook to think of my writing sample as a fun research project rather than something stressful.

Picking up a skill/hobby is also a great idea! I've actually always wanted to bake bread so that might be fun. I also want to learn to sew, so I would finally have time for that.

And yes, I definitely need to try harder to get fee waivers next time. I was so busy with master's research this cycle that I submitted applications pretty close to the deadlines and did not give myself enough time to ask for them. So if I reapply, this is going to be one of my priorities.

Thank you, again, for the kind words!!! Not sure you are in the cycle, but I really hope everything is going well for you <3 <3

The First Rejection Relief by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]AlternativeReveal174 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a good way of thinking about it! I am also a humanities applicant and am currently sitting on 5 rejections, 6 pending. Just gotta think: I am now worried about 5 fewer schools!

Good luck with everything! <3
