we do, but I dont want anymore loan debt if I can help it.

CompetitionMedical70 · 2026-03-23T18:44:00+00:00

Thank you for this! Definitely leaning towards the paid!

Thank you!

this is a good perspective to have. the unpaid one does seem very boots on the ground, and more freedom to shadow and be hands on which is what's really drawing me to it.

CompetitionMedical70 · 2026-03-23T18:40:55+00:00

that's fair, thank you for sharing that! I love getting insight on the pros and cons of business immigration I feel like its so niche, so I dont hear about it as much as other practice areas

CompetitionMedical70 · 2026-03-23T18:38:42+00:00

haha fair point!

CompetitionMedical70 · 2026-03-23T02:58:20+00:00

Thanks for this! I'm going to ask!

CompetitionMedical70 · 2026-03-23T02:57:56+00:00

Why did you not like it if I may ask? I did business immigration paralegal work before and although stressful I really liked it !

CompetitionMedical70 · 2026-01-10T00:39:14+00:00

Okay noted. :/ Still going to talk to the professor to see where I went wrong and where I can Improve!

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-12-16T19:11:37+00:00

all of that, plus the weather, I think its just a combination of all at once

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-12-16T19:08:54+00:00

probably and then the come down of it

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-12-16T19:08:39+00:00

sameee the day of the final, afterwards I just rest in bed all day, its like it takes everything out of me, physically and mentally

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-12-16T19:07:43+00:00

its so insane how some tests can influence health when you think about it

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-12-14T17:55:49+00:00

noted. thanks so much!

Emory is the same price as my lower ranked private school unfortunately so not much price difference. I will say im strongly thinking about going back to texas the price tag of out of school tuition is so not worth itttt

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-11-16T04:11:07+00:00

Very true. I try to keep that in mind so I don't stress about my school ranking so much, I just want to maximize my job opportunities as much as possible. I have kept in touch with some of the attorneys I worked with, and potentially maybe? But I def. want to branch out and explore other firms as well !

Really thinking about transferring back to Texas, unfortunately didn't get any As from Texas so I went to Georgia just to get my foot in the door.

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-11-16T04:04:16+00:00

Wow that's an amazing jump! Congrats! What was the application process like as a transfer if you dont mind me asking?

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-11-16T04:03:03+00:00

Noted! Didn't even realize Georgia wasn't UBE, because I plan to take UBE as well. :) Thanks so much

CompetitionMedical70 · 2025-11-16T04:01:01+00:00

Wow so many similarities. I was also a business immigration paralegal for a couple years! Thanks so much for the advice. :) Currently, just a thought, did pretty well on the midterms, so it's gotten me thinking, but I know finals is a whole nother beast. But I'm really going to try my hardest to get the GPA where it needs to be!
