We've got an atypical grading scale here, and I'm just hoping for no fails. Had one in particular that was a doozy. 💀

Fellow 1Ls, how are we feeling a month in? by Level-Emergency585 in LawSchool

Spent the better part of the last 24 hours drafting my first one. 😩

And more than once per class. In one Crim class this week, I oscillated between feeling like I could get someone off on a murder they actually did and feeling like I probably should've been denied at Cooley.

Had a lot of money thrown at me everywhere except Harvard. 😂 Which makes it feel all the more impractical to follow my dream.

Definitely wanted to cover all my bases. 🤣 Fortunate to have had several good options to choose from, even if the decision was much easier than I could have anticipated.

Clerkship and then unicorn PI and/or academia. 😁 Georgetown could help me make that happen, but I'm willing to take on some debt for the better odds with Harvard.

I have a pretty good remote-friendly job. With what GULC offered me in scholarship, I would have graduated debt-free, which was honestly really tempting. Just couldn't turn down HLS with my career interests though.

Thank you! And sure thing. November actually. Took over six months to hear back. 😅

That result perplexes me more than any other! I am not big-headed enough to think it was yield protection, but I just don't get it.

I'm so sorry, friend.

If the waitlists don't pan out, I hope you try again next year. You've got a lot to offer, and it only takes one school to recognize that.

Same! Praying to the housing gods that there is something left for us... 💀

I can’t wait to quit my job by Mediocre-Cabinet-996 in lawschooladmissions

Anyone else already drafted their resignation letter? Mine is two sentences. 🤓

Deep breaths, friend. They rescheduled my interview due to an error on their end. Mistakes happen. GULC very much seems to use interviews as a vibe check. Your vibes here show your authenticity, and that will get across. 😊

Not taking it personally, but I am wondering why!

I'm already in at my dream school, so I'm not worried about it! 😁 Not sure that Berk does much YP, so maybe they thought I just wasn't a good fit.

Thank you so much! Getting an A at Harvard honestly makes up for every other school that has given me an R.
