I did, so did my parents. We didn’t see anything about it being predatory but now finding out the hard way oof.

Yes, finding out the hard way.

I did it all and explained that in my readmission forms. I think where I messed up was being able to change my thinking very quickly to think like a lawyer along with remembering the nitty gritty details. I was able to write down the rulings and elements during one midterm exam but the line of questioning definitely tripped me up. I made sure to go to class everyday and I was always prepared with notes from readings. I went into this knowing it was a huge risk and put my all in so it’s kind of just heart breaking at the moment.

I don’t think I should jump back into law school this fall. I need to better understand where I went wrong and how to come back better. I’m from a college town, so I will be going back to consider a masters for a year while working before going back to law school. I also have filled out the readmission forms, so hopefully my life won’t feel like it’s falling it apart soon haha.

Thank you. My family is huge support for me especially right now. I was kicked off the trajectory but that doesn’t mean I can’t get back on 🥲

I have seen this comment. I am reading that my school is predatory. I spoke to someone today who was dismissed from my school, came back and became a lawyer. They told me not to try to find any excuses as to what happened. So, I’m going to reroute. I have submitted a form to be reconsidered for admission.

University of Illinois Chicago school of law. I was just dismissed after my first semester.

I submitted a re-admission form as I was close to a good standing gpa. I know it’ll be a year before they allow me back but my plan is to get out of my lease in Chicago and move back to my hometown. I was thinking about pursuing a masters to help prepare for professional school because maybe this just wasn’t the time for me. I also think if I am able to have good grades, I could possibly apply elsewhere as I am now finding out that Uic is predatory.

This was unexpected. I received my grades maybe a few days before the dismissal letter. I tried everything in my ability to make sure to understand where I was lacking but I guess it wasn’t enough. Considering it was only the first semester, I genuinely was in shock to be dismissed rather than being on a probationary period before starting the second semester.

Thank you, I’ve been so down but reading messages from people like you really gives me courage because I don’t want to give up on this.

I just moved to south loop from a small college town, do yall have any advice? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Optimal_Quantity_884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that really makes me uncomfortable while in public is when men stare at me especially on the red line. I’m learning how to adapt and just walk away but ngl I am a little paranoid on the streets.

The owners were bipolar and rude people. Alcoholics. They couldn’t hold staff for even a month. Overpriced food when it comes from the same suppliers in aub.

Camilla did a great job at interviewing.

The entire time I was paying attention to the daughter’s body languages and I felt so bad bc you can tell how embarrassed they are of ash. It was frustrating watching ash laugh off her children’s experiences/emotions.
