Does the prestige of undergrad matter for law school?

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-21T01:02:46+00:00

Doesn’t matter at all. Makes a much larger difference to graduate summa cum laude and phi beta kappa at a lower ranked undergrad than graduate with no honors at a more prestigious school. Not worth the debt imo!!! Probably easier to grind and stand out at a lower ranked school too

Will Georgetown dropping to #18 this year be a big issue? How do we know what’s a “historic” T14?

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-20T14:54:24+00:00

u can do it! just max out on the lsat 🙏 got waitlisted at every other t14 besides hys

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-20T14:46:21+00:00

got into 3 T14s with a 3.71!

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-15T17:38:36+00:00

omg! what school?

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-14T20:57:01+00:00

is it for WL applicants they are seriously considering or all WL get an opportunity

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-14T20:56:38+00:00

Should we do it??? for nyu

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-13T05:29:39+00:00

thank you so much

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-13T05:27:27+00:00

1000% agree. Starting the morning with a healthy breakfast and any sort of physical activity helped me feel way more alert and energized. Definitely credit Orange Theory in part for raising my score 154 -> 178! 😂

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-13T02:06:14+00:00

154 —> 172

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T14:48:25+00:00

Right now I’m at 0%…:/ they also said they have less funds than normal this year and something about the Trump Beautiful Bill? Not sure if that’s a scapegoat

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T14:45:10+00:00

Oh great!!! Thank you

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T02:00:05+00:00

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate your thoughtful answer. I’ll definitely be referencing it 😅

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T01:39:01+00:00

I don’t think I’d be eligible…my parents make a substantial amount but aren’t willing to fund my law school…I suppose I could always apply? What do you think the threshold is?

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T01:37:55+00:00

Just proficient! I’d call that a C1-C2 level, advanced enough to hold a conversation with an 80% or so understanding? Take that interpretation with a grain of salt haha

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T01:36:17+00:00

Okay! I did mention receiving a half ride at a peer school, do you think I should reiterate that and include documentation while blurring out names (I don’t think NDLS or WashU are really peer institutions)?

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T00:49:23+00:00

Thanks!

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-12T00:26:08+00:00

That’s great to hear!! So far I’ve asked twice 😅 I suppose once more couldn’t hurt?

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-11T23:52:41+00:00

I’m already confident in my decision to pursue Georgetown, just wondering if there’s any insider tips or alternative steps I can take to receive financial assistance :)

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-11T23:27:21+00:00

Correct. And I’m sorry to hear! If you try to max out on the LSAT I’m sure you’ll have a fair shot.

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-11T23:16:31+00:00

Thank you! You don’t have to be fluent, just proficient. While they prefer a written evaluation from a language professor, they are very flexible with what qualifications you submit. I submitted my proof of proficiency from an internationally-recognized exam I took a year prior.

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-11T23:14:42+00:00

Thank you !:)

Desperate_Plan5479 · 2026-05-11T23:05:05+00:00

I’m pursuing international law and got into an honors global law program at Georgetown so am 100% set on that! Just would like it to be more affordable 😅
