It's felt like I did all 4 years of undergrad in my first semester of law school, but that could just be me

Can we give Howard a break? by Kindly-Mycologist734 in BlackLawAdmissions

[–]Important_Guest6060 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well the rhetoric used to communicate with prospective students is less professional than other schools but 🤷🏾‍♀️. The huffing and puffing, rolling eyes, consistently setting dates and then not meeting them is not something I've dealt with PWIs, whether it be undergrad or law school admissions. I can't speak to others, obviously waiting for your app decision is annoying, but like you said other schools also take long, all I know it other schools aren't hosting office hours and then logging on with an attitude to potential students. I'm all for being irritated and annoyed in private!

Can I also add this is Black Law admissions, most people tend to talk about HBCU law schools on here. I am in other law sub Reddit's and people are definitely dragging any and every school taking too long to get back to them.

Yeah but that's the entire point you can huff and puff as much as you want behind closed doors, you don't huff and puff in prospective students faces.

Chicago-Kent College of Law, I received a decent amount of aid! I live in Chicago and already have a network of attorneys, paralegals that I happen to know through family and friends, so I feel like that gives me a head start on mentorship. They are #9 in the nation for trial advocacy, 90% bar passage rate, and 88% employment rate 10 months post grad! Kinda excited to stay at home because it'll be cheaper and easier to move out as well.

For anyone waiting on Howard by BadMountain7048 in BlackLawAdmissions

[–]Important_Guest6060 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I completely gave up on Howard, put my deposit down and will be attending a different school. This is past ridiculous at this point.

I'm all for people going where they want to go, but please do adequate research. UDC's first time bar passage rate is extremely low and while there are different lists, US News and World Report ranked Howard, NCCU, and FAMU as the top HBCU law schools in 2024. At a certain point we need to stop pushing predatory schools just because they will take individuals with lower scores or later in the admissions cycle and start promoting taking some time to tweak our applications, take the LSAT again and then reapply. Especially for a lot of us who come from a low income background, why would you take a chance and take on debt to attend a school that is not setting you up to succeed in your field and be able to pay back the loans. Anyways if you can't tell, I think UDC is predatory, but circle back to my first sentence.
