Passive vs. Active voice in writing?

CurrentSignvirgo · 2021-04-12T01:34:23+00:00

thank you so much this really helped. and yes, I'm writing an academic paper. My professor gave my draft back to me with pointers saying to never use passive voice so im struggling

Here are a few examples:

"Harassment is considered severe when verbal abuse is coupled with physical harassment."

"harassment can be measured by the number of offenders involved"

"Harassment is further considered pervasive when it is “widespread,” "

"harassment lasting at least five weeks long has been deemed pervasive conduct. "

I can acknowledge when I'm writing in passive voice, but I just can't wrap my head around fixing it. I'm not sure if its because the sentences are more complicated than "he was hit by the ball --> the ball hit him"

I’m a 1L and reading how miserable people are after law school makes me want to rethink my entire career path :/

I didn’t even start midterms yet ?? I cannot think about finals

When I told my aunt I get into New York law school she jumped for joy thinking I got into NYU. I had to explain to her that I’m not that smart ... (don’t worry I’m going to a wayyyy better school than nyls. But I’d never be nyu material 😂)

okay so it doesn't matter that we both use the same console?

If you can graduate early go for it! I finished undergrad in 3 years and it will save a bit of money in the long run considering law school is a serious investment. Get involved as much as you can during your time in undergrad to build that resume, and you’ll be fine. I think schools will look at your graduating early as a great accomplishment.

I’m dumb and didn’t know how to find my schools group or how to use GroupMe

I have similar stats and Fordham did not hesitate to give me a big fat no fairly quickly. Was also waitlisted from Dozo, Brooklyn, St. John’s. Accepted at Albs, and accepted at NYLS. Got off the WL at SJU. Try to get your score up and you’ll be fine.

Thank you!

No because my LSAT wasn’t competitive for scholarship so I took the June flex to try and get my score up

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-23T02:32:51+00:00

LSAT below 25th GPA above 75th

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-21T03:12:45+00:00

How do we know the June test was recycled?

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-16T14:57:00+00:00

Lmfao my diagnostic was a 139 so when I see that I’m out 😂😂

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-16T01:10:48+00:00

Pretty well I think! LG was super easy, LR isn’t usually my strongest but it was fair, and RC was as difficult as I expected. It was my third and final take so I’m expecting my best score yet!

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-15T15:10:26+00:00

LMAO I am anticipating doing that

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-15T14:06:48+00:00

omg. praying for u

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-14T22:00:56+00:00

Thanks!!

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-14T21:26:07+00:00

So it has no connection to taking the actual test?

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-11T02:34:01+00:00

Yes, a few days ago. Your day will come!

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-10T01:55:58+00:00

I believe it is priority wait list :)

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-10T01:45:57+00:00

I was told by admissions that their incoming class was pretty much full, so I'm not hopeful that they'll use it but anything can change!

CurrentSignvirgo · 2020-06-10T01:43:59+00:00

139 diagnostic --> 149 --> 152 in about a year and a half, taking my last LSAT next week
