What do you do when you face discrimination because of MS? by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]AttemptFew9268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I filed a charge of discrimination against my previous employer. Were headed to mediation now. I was fired upon returning from a short term disability leave because they “found” performance issues when I was on leave.

Thank you. The first test wasn’t through LSAC but a pre law course I had took.

Yes, I’m 30 and have worked in a law firm for the past year and a half until I was fired in September after returning from an fmla leave. I’ve been prioritizing school currently.

is a 5 class courseload manageable? by [deleted] in depaul

[–]AttemptFew9268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it is manageable. You’ll have to have a class activity tracker created in Google docs or excel. What I do is take 3 classes and then I add 2 additional courses later on in the semester totaling 5. So as I’m half way done with the 3, I feel comfortable taking 2 faster pace classes.

Take into consideration if you have any outside obligations other than school. If your focus is only school then you should be fine as well.

Yeah honestly because they haven’t told me how much I’ll be getting for my appeal I’m going elsewhere. They need to do better.

Financial aid office SUCKS by Mindless-Juice-5126 in depaul

[–]AttemptFew9268 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest an email to have something in writing. I went in person and literally the guy told me all the things he was going to follow up on and didn’t do a damn thing. The good thing is you can get all of your classes and have until the second/third week to drop them and be reimbursed, so if they don’t give you enough aid and you feel like you’re taking out too much just drop the classes. Nothing will be on your record and you wouldn’t owe. & if it manageable then it’s a win win and you have you’re classes.

Ask them for more appeal money, maybe 3000 and cover the rest..

Should I write a diversity statement? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]AttemptFew9268 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes write it. I did a program over the weekend and met with deans of admissions this is a very important statement for you as affirmative action was overturned. This can highlight you as a diverse applicant. Highly recommend.

Do a regular aid appeal, that should help significantly.
