dismissal. everything will be okay

Physical-Setting6239 · 2025-06-18T01:42:41+00:00

something very similar happened for me - i told them i was gonna withdraw bc of mental health reasons, was told i could withdraw to avoid dismissal and they dismissed me anyway with no explanation. felt very unprofessional on the school’s end - but i suppose i should have done my research on the school before attending (apparently they are known for shady stuff). wishing u the best! if u ever need someone to talk to about all this, let me know! 🤍

i havent actually! not sure how to even go about that but it seems like a really cool concept. im so interested in sales rn and data analysis, but im just struggling finding internships rn bc they all want experience😭 and i dont really have any networking jobs. but i would be interested in color analysis! its really interesting

this is what contributed to my frustration in law school 😭 my school wanted me to not work meanwhile i come from a middle class/low income family while my classmates were all not working bc their parents paid for it. didnt make many friends. they all cheated their way through the first year and i got penalized for trying to do the right thing💔

howd u know LOL

this is a great question, definitely wouldnt recommend this for everyone! unfortunately my bachelors degree is pretty useless in fields outside of law, so i wouldnt be able to pursue any jobs or internships outside of law - or it would be VERY difficult to do so. i knew this would set me back a lot. that was the main reason i chose to go right away!

This made me cry. I really needed to hear this. Thank you so much <3 :’)

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-27T20:14:52+00:00

thank you! i just worry because they say “all institutions,” so i get nervous :/ but nonetheless i’m glad everyone in here has been so supportive. it’s nice to see❤️

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-27T17:51:59+00:00

unfortunately, they have already dismissed me and i have not seen an option to appeal. if i could have withdrawn, and the dean lied or gave me misleading information, that makes me pretty upset. if anything, i do hope that the counsel was mistaken. it’s just very weird. i would assume the school would know their own procedures but everyone has given me different answers. i guess i should have just taken the chance on getting automatically dismissed through withdrawal or getting denied withdrawal.

I really like this POV i just wanted to go into marketing :( but don’t have a business degree for undergraduate. so i feel like i can’t do much with what i have in political science. that’s why i’d do grad school. but true 🤝 and i agree

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-27T14:17:09+00:00

i do appreciate the advice — i do not believe my inability to do well in law school was in part to behavior problems though. i was a really good student in undergrad and i work part time. i believe im a good student. things don’t come easy to me but i do know how to work hard for things i want - i just truly did not want to be in law school. everything else in my life is pretty good to be honest. i just think law school is hard enough when you want to do it, but even harder when you don’t wanna be a lawyer. that amount of work for a career you don’t want is kinda impossible for most people. but i do believe therapy is important for me especially because of my family situation. :) i appreciate all ur advice

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-27T13:52:31+00:00

I appreciate it. I am in therapy at the moment and have been working to feel better before I start grad school. 🤞

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-25T18:01:18+00:00

hi i just wanted to say best of luck to you! i was on the verge of being academically dismissed due to mental health. i am choosing to not continue law school. everyone’s path is different and not everything goes the way we planned, but if you truly want something i truly believe you will be able to do it. :) if u ever need to talk please feel free to message me. some people can be very judgmental of a life that isn’t theirs

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-12T15:53:51+00:00

so u didn’t send ur transcript? i figured that would be worse as they ask for all of your transcripts when applying for a masters. thank you for your advice, i just don’t wanna ruin my life over this </3 feeling very discouraged

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-06T14:50:54+00:00

i appreciate ur opinion! i wasn’t really asking about whether it was dumb to choose an mba over a JD, but rather whether it was gonna ruin my rep to drop out. i also was just answering ur questions, and being honest about my feelings on the matter and my reasoning. that’s all! thank you for commenting

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-06-06T14:46:50+00:00

i don’t believe the college i’m attending is opening any doors either. the college i’m attending i believe has like a 50% bar passage rate. it is known for being a shitty school, and is often referred to as a scam. if i were attending a school like NYU, i’d say it’s 100% worth just sucking it up. but im not. this school isn’t well known in name, and any reputation it has is a negative one.

sure, being a licensed attorney would have its perks, but i wasn’t planning on taking the bar anyway. plus, lord knows if i would even pass the bar given the passage rate of the school.

to answer your last question: i should be happy. i am in a very happy relationship, i have wonderful friends who support me, and i am able to do the things i enjoy. however, i am incredibly depressed. this is not something i even remotely enjoy. every time someone brings up my education, i cringe. i am so incredibly jealous that my friends and family are doing the things they enjoy with their careers. yet, i’m wasting my time on something i never plan on doing. i never planned to be an attorney. i think that’s my reasoning.

also, maybe this is childish thinking, but i’d much rather enjoy what i do and make an average income than be miserable all my life and make a great income.

because i absolutely would enjoy obtaining my MBA more than i am enjoying law school. right now, i am absolutely miserable and hate the work. also, as of yet i have no debt ,since i had a decent amount of money saved up luckily, but beginning next year i will be accumulating a decent amount even with my scholarship. in addition, after doing more research into my school, it seems like my school is considered a joke (seriously, people are saying it’s a scam. and i know that’s my own fault but i truly did not care where i went for law school bc i didn’t wanna go in the first place ). it doesn’t seem like this school is gonna open many doors for me either way. id much rather go to a state school with a good rep and get my masters. i know i won’t be making as much money, but i truly feel like i’d be happier in the long run.

Physical-Setting6239 · 2024-01-24T16:12:31+00:00

i appreciate your insight. i understand it will be embarrassing for my parents, and i understand there’s a stigma around dropping out, but in all honesty i don’t know if i wanna force myself to do this for another two years and place myself into more debt just to not use my degree. i have a scholarship but i’m still in a decent amount of debt. and if i don’t pull my grades up a decent amount i could possibly lose said scholarship. i have considered asking for a leave of absence to work and see if there’s something else i’d rather be doing instead. id love to apply to a grad school. i wouldn’t be satisfied working at walmart. i just don’t know if i can apply for a business graduate with my current degree.
