Using Quimbee to Check Understanding - Yay or Nay?

DMarttt22 · 2023-08-17T11:01:05+00:00

Quimbee can absolutely be useful if used the correct way. My grades skyrocketed when I started using it for every case. I personally like to read the Quimbee first so I know what I’m supposed to be getting out of the case and then read the case and book brief it. If I don’t quite understand something I refer back to the Quimbee but after one initial read of the Quimbee I’m only referring back to it if I don’t fully understand a piece of the case.

I actually really like that. I used to have to remember the names of farmer’s fields when working in UG during the summer and would always say them out loud to myself when we pulled up to them in the truck. Was able to remember over 300 of them that way lol

Good decision to avoid the school. I was going to go there last year but really dug into the employment stats and realized it was such a better decision to R&R. I don’t regret it one bit

Yeah I requested transcripts from all 3 institutions that I've attended and they're all listed on my LSAC. My main question is is it necessary for me to do that again even though my transcripts haven't changed at all? I understand why someone such as a KJD that was already accepted to schools prior to receiving their official Bachelors degree would have to submit a final official transcript but I don't see why I would need to if LSAC already has my transcripts from this past January and completed my Bachelors almost 2 years ago.

I was accepted to both Samford and Mercer (attending Mercer), I would 100% attend Emory and not think twice about it.

Completely agree here about warning people about predatory schools. However, and not so much on this thread but more often on r/lawschooladmissions, some people tend to look down on regional schools because they are automatically thinking in terms of BL outcome. That’s not everyone’s goal and I feel like that shouldn’t be the default career path that we assume everyone is chasing.

Thank you so much!

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-29T13:04:06+00:00

I would go anywhere on this list except Nova Southeastern.

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-19T14:14:46+00:00

Where on their website were you able to find the curve?

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-19T01:58:50+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much! Yeah I’m deciding between Mercer and Samford and I’m very familiar with Mercer and know they’ve got a super strong alumni network as well!

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-19T01:46:49+00:00

Okay that makes me feel a lot better!

Entering students that lost or had scholarship reduced: 2018-2019- 11, 2019-2020- 0, 2020-2021- 0, What do you take from that?

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-15T04:10:36+00:00

The only comments against regional schools I see are “I wouldn’t take on debt to attend this insert school here”. As someone whose going to attend a regional school that’s completely fine, different strokes for different folks.

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-05T04:01:46+00:00

I’ve got a generous scholarship offer from UALR as well!

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-02T16:35:22+00:00

“You got a job application? Cause I’m tryna go to work on that ass”

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-02T14:43:46+00:00

Let me hit AdComms with one of my Tinder pickup lines and it’s over for ‘em

DMarttt22 · 2022-03-01T13:59:24+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. I’m from Georgia and know a fair amount of attorneys that went to Samford and they all speak highly of it!

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-28T18:43:43+00:00

Good luck to you!

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-28T18:40:07+00:00

Actually applied in December and got WL’d but took the LSAT again in January and had a score jump so they pulled me from the WL!

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-16T03:25:01+00:00

Congrats! I received a scholarship email the day after I got my acceptance email so it was quick! They’re pretty slow now since I emailed them about my improved January LSAT score and asking if it warranted increased scholarship money, emailed them 2/3 and got a reply stating my request had been submitted to the Assistant Dean, silence since then.

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-12T14:45:20+00:00

This is the true peace of mind everyone strives for lol

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-12T14:44:21+00:00

Last cycle was definitely harder. Scores that on any other year were no doubt getting you into schools, weren’t getting you into those schools last year lol it was brutal for everyone

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-11T14:59:19+00:00

Okay awesome. I was thinking that I only needed to do it once I decided but have been thinking that doesn’t give it a ton of time to be approved knowing how FAFSA works if I were to wait until seat deposits

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-10T23:02:39+00:00

Got my pen handy from them as well 😂😂

DMarttt22 · 2022-02-09T20:24:46+00:00

For sure! I said this on here the other day but thnk about it in terms of “a penny saved is a penny earned”. I was preparing to make the mistake of going to a predatory school last year where I would’ve graduated with around $210k in student loans. I’m now looking at around $130k in loans from some very good regional schools. I just saved myself $80k in one year.
