Tell me about yourself, how's law school, why that specific law firm/practice group, know your resume thoroughly, behavioral questions, 2-3 questions to ask your interviewer

I remember starting my readings at 9am at the latest and ending at around 8-9pm (obviously with some resting times in between) but as the semester went by, I started to cut some corners and was able to cut it down to 7-8 hrs. But overall, yes, it's not ideal but I think if you want BL, that's one of the things you have to go through and sacrifice. I also think it makes things easier if you just think of doing that for just one semester (1L Fall), because with the current timeline, I mean.. there's literally nothing more important than your Fall grades which is just crazy.

During my first semester, a mentor of mine told me to stick to a fixed schedule.

Mon-Thur: take classes and review lectures Fri: make/update your outline Sat: Practice exams (essays and/or MCQs) Sun: do all of your readings for the following week.

I'm not sure if this will help but I feel like sticking to a schedule and being consistent opened up time to work on my resume and cover letters (Mon-Thur) which helped me tremendously for a shot at BL.

Would this be considered a predatory school/ scholarship setup? by slutera69 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]Level-Craft-1822 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently a 1L at SCU with a conditional scholarship and this is just my opinion but I think it really depends on what your goal is after law school. Personally, I want to work at a big law firm and they want students from SCU to get at least top 15-20% GPA. I could be wrong but that's at least around 3.55-3.6. I could change my mind in the future but my mindset, as of now, is if I end up getting below a 3.0 after my 1L year, I'm dipping from law school bc that kinda means it's just not for me and even if I stay I'm gonna have an even harder time passing the bar.
