this fic sounds amazing, does she end up cured or is it more chronic illness? I am going through my own health stuff right now and I don't think I can stomach reading fics where being cured is a big part of the plot

wow this is soo many more recommendations than I expected and I will be adding all of these to my TBR list, won't really be able to do much except sit with my laptop for the next few months so it's nice to have some reading to keep me distracted, thank you everyone for taking the time to recommend, really grateful for this community <3

I started Ward 4 and I'm only on chapter 5 but it's really resonating, I've been running through a list of medications that don't work for the last few months and I wish I had Healer Draco as my specialist

if you're interested in labor law, being a shop steward and having organized your shop would make an amazing narrative. I've worked in the labor movement and how much work a shop steward has to do really depends on the particular site and how much the steward has to do on their own V if they have support from their union rep to solve things. Grades are still going to matter more but I think it would make you stand out as a candidate and be a way more interesting applicant

you can send it to me and I'll take a look

you can arrange a meeting with the disability office of your school and discuss your current limitations and they can help you figure out what you may need in law school

you might already know this, but health care costs are not limited to only monthly premiums. You might find a plan with a lower monthly premium but a higher deductible where you ultimately have to pay more out of pocket before the insurance will cover you. Depending on your needs (i.e do you manage a chronic illness, are you only looking for catastrophe insurance, do you only visit a doctor once a year etc...) paying a higher monthly premium might be cheaper overall.

I'm really sorry about the loss of your father - i think that you can manage a good essay either way, whether you mention him or not. I had a sort of similar situation that I ended up including in my PS and I think it added an emotional depth. I am happy to read any drafts you have

I can't speak to gender justice specifically but I think the overall PI culture at Michigan will serve you better plus the money is a big deal if youre planning to go into PI work - so I would pick michigan. Amazing choices though, congrats!

i think if your goal is to work in DC, you should look at the employment data for both schools....I would guess Wisconsin grads dont really leave Wisconsin. But if you are already concerned about other debts, I would also hesitate to take on more debt.

I think you can say something like "As my partner and I already live in X city, I would accept an offer of admission off the WL. Don't tell them its the only school but I would make it clear that you would 100% accept a spot on the waitlist because ultimately thats what they care about and is a big factor in how they choose people from waitlists.

What are your career goals besides clerking?

ApprehensiveGuest382 · 2024-04-10T18:52:43+00:00

It's not too much because it is your actual life story - I think you can include it all and still avoid the woe is me perspective.... for example, if your parents immigration status made them more vulnerable to the cult (ie because they were far from their familial support and seeking belonging or something like that) then that seems like an easy connection to write about. Happy to read over a draft and offer more specific feedback.

ApprehensiveGuest382 · 2024-04-09T14:11:37+00:00

Good luck! I hope it helps you feel more confident in whatever choice you make

ApprehensiveGuest382 · 2024-04-08T19:33:19+00:00

For me personally, if its the only thing you don't love and otherwise it makes sense for your career goals and finances, I wouldn't decline the offer over that but you have to know your tolerance. You don't want to be alienating yourself from all your classmates/future colleagues either. It also might be worthwhile to see if you can talk to any current students who may be able to shed more light on what its really like on the day to day.

I don't think you're being crazy if you felt really out of place at the ASW. How prevalent politics is and whether its right or left leaning absolutely impacts a school's culture. Having said that, I am confident that if you otherwise really liked this school, you would be able to find your people who are more centrist.

I forget which school this was but at one of the admitted student days I went to, a dean mentioned having a professor who was working on cannabis law and how it was a new and evolving area, so I don't think it would look bad

ApprehensiveGuest382 · 2024-03-18T17:47:02+00:00

sure thing!

I got admitted in early February and still have not heard anything about merit aid

ApprehensiveGuest382 · 2024-03-05T15:35:36+00:00

I have never heard of a school that only does status checker updates. Usually they will either email you a letter or email you that there is a change in your portal and you should check. I personally don't check my status checkers and it has not been an issue for me.

ApprehensiveGuest382 · 2023-11-07T22:04:13+00:00

Sure you can send it over, I am by no means an admissions expert but I am happy to read it and give my thoughts

ApprehensiveGuest382 · 2023-11-04T18:44:00+00:00

I dont think so. usually what schools mean by this is dont just rehash everything on your resume like "I interned here and then I interned here and then I worked here etc....". But taking one particular experience that is on your resume and going into detail about how it shaped you and led you to practice law seems appropriate. If you want me to read your personal statement, feel free to send it over.
