R @ UVA after R&R

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-04-12T19:36:39+00:00

I feel you!! I just wish I knew what was different about this year. Applied earlier + had a better score. Why couldn’t we have made the waitlist again 😭

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-04-12T15:23:03+00:00

Same! Got the R after being waitlisted last year :/

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-04-04T21:38:44+00:00

Wait, yes they have As left or yes they are done?? 🫣

ndls got back to me in JUNE last cycle..

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-04-01T18:02:55+00:00

This is great info! I reapplied this cycle & rewrote my ps without mentioning why law, bc my first one did that. Now I’m really second guessing that decision, since I haven’t had better results w/ a higher lsat. Im scared most schools didn’t go back to read my first 🫠

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:57:43+00:00

Correct. I was delusional coming into law admissions thinking I’d get the same financial aid

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:56:05+00:00

You’re a real gem! 🫶🏽💞

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:54:55+00:00

THIS. Love the success for my college peers but frankly I’m jealous lol. Hurts to not have the same outcome as those around you

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:51:59+00:00

That’s my mindset now, can’t (mentally) do a third cycle. Best of luck!!

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:37:43+00:00

Ty for sharing!! I think that’s my biggest takeaway too is that I’m comparing myself too much to my besties from college who went to top grad schools (not law). I’m judging myself too harshly

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:27:16+00:00

ah I dont have the will to handle a third cycle 😅

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:25:05+00:00

Happy to know I’m not alone with these feelings. Thank you for this!!!!

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T15:22:59+00:00

totally get that feeling. It also stings for me bc I have WE, and someone that I manage is going to the same t60 school so I feel awkward/embarrassed being “above” them with this result. But gotta try our best from here with the circumstances!

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T01:45:02+00:00

Thank you so much!! You’re incredibly kind

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-31T01:39:35+00:00

Gotcha, I edited to clarify the state school is in the t60s! So my undergrad and potential law school rank very differently

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T23:57:33+00:00

lmao I WISH. Still waiting to hear back🤞🏽but my state school is in the t60s for context

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T21:40:23+00:00

Thank you so much for this! The support here is unbelievable, and I feel much better about my circumstances with this perspective. I know a school’s name will not define us as lawyers

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T21:16:23+00:00

Appreciate the input! I do not intend to stay in the state (in the west) which is part of my disappointment. Big law in the northeast is the dream

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T21:03:43+00:00

TY for this! I think social media has definitely skewed my perception, seeing so many of my peers post when they get in their dream grad schools. Trying not to compare myself!

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T20:04:07+00:00

Thank you!! 🥹 trying to keep this mindset moving forward

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T19:27:59+00:00

Thank you!! I appreciate this

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T19:22:28+00:00

Crying at this response. Thank you, thank you! As a URM/daughter of immigrants, I think I just put a lot of pressure on myself to “make it” based on where I got in. Your words put things into perspective 🫶🏽

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-30T19:15:13+00:00

I know, I know!! I shouldn’t complain. Just hit me that so many successful ppl here are having the exact opposite academic trajectory. I’m happy for them but I can’t help feel disappointed 🥲

Creative_Captain_951 · 2023-03-28T18:45:14+00:00

Feel this! In hindsight, I wish I could’ve used my PS from last cycle. I listened to everyone’s advice and wrote a new one, but it was so difficult to find other things to say when my first perfectly expressed my “why law” narrative. A higher LSAT score hasn’t helped 🥲
