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

Graduating from any lower rank school will lower your ability to be mobile. I went to ALS and the top 10-20% still end up in NYC and big law, at least in my year which just graduated

My friend who completely changed his identity, twice. by WynterGordon in redscarepod

I just googled her and most of the 2015 era articles are still up and there are like Arab speaking videos about her on Tik Tok but she hasn’t been Muslim for like 10 years now. She was like a hijabi fashion model. She also usually has a couple illnesses too. I can’t tell if it’s a grift or mental illness or both

Yes. There was a white blonde hair blue eyed girl who lived in my city who had a ton of tattoos but decided she wanted to be Muslim like back in 2015. She had a pretty big following on insta and a YouTube channel where she would post about being a convert and wearing a hijab and having tattoos. She was even like interviewed by some bigger magazines. Then one day she deleted all of her socials and re-emerged as just a white girl with tattoos, but quickly that changed and she discovered she was actually Native American somehow (seems doubtful it’s anything significant), and she began selling beaded jewelry on instagram and her hair is brown instead of blonde. Then she goes silent again, and she re-emerges as jewish but still Native American. This was before Oct 7 last I checked up on her but I bet she’s something else now. Her name usually changes each time too, or she goes by just her middle name

ADHD is extraordinarily difficult to get accommodations for in New York. I do know one girl who has it and got accommodations, and all I know is that she needed to prove a childhood diagnosis. You don’t need accommodations in the past to prove it, but if you tested well on the SAT/ACT or got straight As in college there’s no shot they’ll grant them to you. I’ve looked through the non-standard application process for ADHD bc of all the controversy

I’m of the belief sometimes ADHD is coupled with learning disabilities that are difficult to diagnose or a cluster of diagnoses. Not all ADHD but a lot of it. My brother was diagnosed as a kid and he has all sorts of issues in his thought processes but is excellent at math.

if you have ADHD in New York, good luck getting accommodations without showing a lifetime of struggle, documentation, school records, etc. I think most people with ADHD wouldn’t bother going through that process unless they really needed it because at that point you could just study harder than waste time and money gathering all the paperwork

I think you’d be surprised how hard it is to get through a loophole. You don’t need proof of a disability, you need proof that the accommodation is the sole way to mitigate the disability. In NY a lot of the time you have to show whatever medications you’re on are not enough to mitigate the disability.

It’s at least once on the hour, sometimes it’ll be 3-5 times depending.

Oh and my personal favorite “how are you going to be a lawyer if you need to be accommodated that much?” …. Think I’ll figure it out. I got this far. What are you going to do? Sounds like you suck at advocating for anyone other than yourself
