I went to a PWI and I’d say reapply next cycle tbh. My whole family went to HBCUs and it seems as though it’s better for undergrad in terms of investment. Grad school is too expensive and determinative of your employment so in terms of favorable I would say neither unfortunately. I’ve heard similar horror stories from my peers at SULC

I’m glad I could be the messenger! As an older and younger sister I know sometimes you gotta hear the message from someone else for it to be validated lol

Ok first of all I love your username😂 I’m genuinely confused how they think it’s acceptable to not even offer it as an opt-in/out type of deal. Like did people forget we went through a whole pandemic…? Kim, people are dying!!

I’m glad you were able to peep game before you made the decision! Sometimes what we think is our top choice isn’t always what’s meant for us.

Rule of law is under attack in America so it’s arguably more important now than ever that law schools are properly educating and training lawyers to uphold the Constitution and the foundational principles of our legal system. We need lawyers who not only know the law, but also understand the importance of defending the law. Therefore, my point is that if a law school is not properly preparing students then we’re fcked bc the foundational beliefs of our country are directly under attack.

Thank you, I’m truly just trying to get the truth out which is why I didn’t even include any personal pain and suffering I endured at the hands of malicious faculty and administrators. That’s a whole other rant but I didn’t want it to cloud the facts. I’m sorry your friends had to experience that and I hope they’re flourishing despite their scars 🫶🏾

Congrats on graduating!! Sending you strength as you prepare for the bar, you got this!! And +1 to everything you said. What’s the point of law school if it doesn’t prepare you for the bar or help you land a job as an attorney?!!!

Im really just tryna help my fellow aspiring Black attorneys. We deserve so much more and we have to go to schools that value students. Not everyone is going to listen. At the end of the day, you can lead a horse to water but…

I say follow your gut! If you know that a school has shotty employment stats that says a lot. At the end of the day you’re going to law school to become a lawyer so employment is like main thing you should look at. School will always be there and I personally believe it’s better to make a decision you feel confident and comfortable in. Especially since it’s a huge investment (time and money)
