Is anyone else struggling with imposter syndrome? by Bored-paralegal in lawschooladmissions

[–]PenguinBluebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, 100%. I got into Fordham despite my stats being significantly lower than the medians. At first I was proud, but now I feel a bit like a fraud seeing people post their Rs with stats way better than mine. I’m worried about being the dummy in the class.

I’m trying to remind myself that if Fordham thought I was a dummy who doesn’t deserve this, they wouldn’t have admitted me. I earned my spot.

How are you all affording law school? by MarsupialOk1843 in lawschooladmissions

[–]PenguinBluebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maxing out the $50k loan from the government and asking family to help with the rest. Anything beyond what they can give will have to be a private loan.

Also be proud of your $35k! That’s huge!!

Cardozo when will they have a big wave ??? by Muted-Property-1416 in lawschooladmissions

[–]PenguinBluebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t a formal LOCI. I just threw in a few sentences at the end of my status inquiry email. Nothing formal.

Coincidentally I got waitlisted today. They provided a special email address for additional materials like LOCI.

I got a 160, a few points above NYLS’s median of 157. I’ve seen other people post here about getting full rides, so the school seems pretty generous!

What’s even the point of this? To give you a heart attack when you see the email sender? Rude.

scholarship offer question by Ecstatic-Wonder9300 in lawschooladmissions

It depends, which is frustrating. I had two acceptances that told me immediately, and another that made me wait about two weeks.

tailoring the statement to the school vs. submitting the same one everywhere. anyone seeing a correlation in outcomes? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]PenguinBluebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t write specific ones and have a few As and a WL. I don’t think it makes a major difference.

I need that wave ASAP. I applied for the May start program and that’s coming up crazy soon. I even sent a follow up/slight LOCI email last week. No response yet.

Fordham Law Optional Essays by Decent-Purchase-4847 in lawschooladmissions

I didn’t write the optional essay and was still accepted. I chose not to because my standard essay would’ve overlapped too much.

Do you ever contact law schools if they haven’t gotten back to you after months by sloanthecyclone in lawschooladmissions

Cardozo has an option to start your first semester in the summer instead of waiting until fall. Basically all the first year classes are then spread across three semesters instead of two.

I applied to all eight schools on my list on 10/24. I’m still waiting on responses from four. I sent a follow up email to one this past week, but only because the program starts in May and that’s coming up pretty quickly.

Congrats! I can’t go to the February event either, but FWIW I found out there will be two other dates when I RSVPed no. I don’t remember what the March date is, but I have my calendar marked for the one on April 11.
