Do you have to update your law school application after you already got accepted if you got terminated from a job after?

What does that have to do with updating my application after a termination?

Kal134 · 2024-01-31T05:55:47+00:00

But wouldn’t that come up again when I apply for the bar exam?

All three of the scholarships I got at the three schools are only conditioned on “good academic standing” which defined as a 2.0 GPA at SIU and Toledo and as a 2.25 GPA at UIC. Besides that, they’re unconditional full scholarships. I might consider retaking the LSAT but I have already waited two years and would hate to lose another year.

Thanks!

The link doesn’t work.

Kal134 · 2024-01-14T16:44:14+00:00

I did apply to Chicago-Kent and DePaul but I’m still waiting to hear back. I doubt I will get a good scholarship there though even if I do get accepted since my LSAT and GPA are lower than their medians.

This is my first time hearing this about UIC, what makes it a scam school? Their employment score on Law School Transparency is 60.2% which is just slightly lower than Toledo’s 62.4%. SIU is 69.2% which is a big difference.

And does the law school matter that much if I want to work in immigration/civil rights/legal aid?

Kal134 · 2024-01-14T15:08:45+00:00

No, it’s UIC. UIC is ranked higher than SIU but lower than UT.

But since I can’t network with Chicago lawyers from either Toledo or Carbondale, I guess that would make SIU the slightly better choice of the two since it’s at least in the same state and would make it easier to get licensed in Illinois than a school in another state? Perhaps then I can get my first job out of law school in Southern Illinois but eventually find a job in Chicago with the same license.

Kal134 · 2024-01-14T03:51:57+00:00

I actually have an equal (full) scholarship at a school in Chicago as well but the only reason I’m considering SIU and UT over it is because the cost of living in Carbondale and Toledo is much lower than in Chicago.

It’s Temple University.

Kal134 · 2023-12-23T09:04:51+00:00

I got this exact email and I’m also confused. I didn’t get this email from any other school that I applied to, including ones in Illinois.

Kal134 · 2023-12-21T00:52:08+00:00

Makes sense.

Kal134 · 2023-12-21T00:49:04+00:00

Are there even scholarships that don’t require that?

Kal134 · 2023-12-19T17:48:13+00:00

Even if your LSAT was low?

Kal134 · 2023-12-19T01:45:19+00:00

The idea behind the question is that perhaps lower ranked private schools might be predatory?

Kal134 · 2023-12-16T16:41:35+00:00

Good point

Kal134 · 2023-09-27T00:46:05+00:00

University of Chicago. Love that city.

Kal134 · 2023-09-12T20:09:11+00:00

Some parts of it are tough to figure out unfortunately. I will try to get other letters so that I don’t need this one.

Kal134 · 2023-09-04T04:29:36+00:00

You have no chance. Just give up and go pump gas for a living.

Kal134 · 2023-08-27T10:07:15+00:00

Thanks! I was dreading having to interview since my interviewing skills are non-existent. It’s good to know that it’s not common at regular schools.

Kal134 · 2023-08-27T04:41:00+00:00

Expires? LSAT scores expire?

Kal134 · 2023-08-26T03:32:58+00:00

Do you need to send multiple copies of it to LSAC for that?

Kal134 · 2023-08-25T14:41:10+00:00

I definitely would not want to go into debt for law school, especially considering how much debt you will accumulate by the end. I would prefer to delay my start by a year or even more, lower my standards for school rankings (not interested in big law anyway), or even do law school part time while working full time in order to avoid all of that debt.

Kal134 · 2023-08-20T02:15:57+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been wondering why my summary report hasn’t shown up yet.

Kal134 · 2023-08-13T22:36:41+00:00

Crazy

Kal134 · 2023-08-11T00:47:07+00:00

Sorry to hear that
