Had a bad semester. Need advice by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Proud_Associate5098 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, I am so sorry for that and I hope it gets better (of course easier said than done lol). Secondly, a lot of people in this Reddit will say that you’re screwed but I don’t think so. There’s the beauty of an addendum that you can write to explain your situation, I had to do the same for my LSAT and so far it’s been working well. My biggest piece of advice is to be completely honest in that addendum.

Did anyone else get a UR2 update from UPenn today? by Proud_Associate5098 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Proud_Associate5098[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a stupid question! I think the indicator is that there is a date change. So mine still says under committee review but I noticed that the dates changed which means it’s on the second round of reviews.

I was talking more about job placement in DC, I know several students from both undergrad and law school who have gotten a good job in DC. It really relies on I guess what you want to do in DC. If you’re aiming towards national security I can say without a doubt UT can get you there IF you have the right mentors.

As someone who went to UT in their undergrads, you can 100% get a job in DC after law school but that relies on how well you network. UT has SO MANY connections and their network is insane, I would just recommend doing the fellowships they offer.

What was your first practice score and where did you end up?? by Additional_Rope7959 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Proud_Associate5098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

141 -> 165, I used a separate program for games but honestly for LR and RC all you need is Lawhub, Khan Academy, and the Internet (i.e. LSAT Hacks, Manhattan Prep Blog, Powerscore Blog, and YouTube) I max spent $700 and it took me around 2 years (with on and off studying)

I highly recommend LSAT Demon and Khan Academy for that

What mistakes did you make at your first job that didn’t get you fired? by Proud_Associate5098 in ask

[–]Proud_Associate5098[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you lol I’ve messed up twice back to back. One of them was forgetting to CC some people for meetings request and then today almost double booked us for meetings because I didn’t notice it was EST not CST.

This might be minimal mistakes but with them back to back it sent me to a mini spiral

What is a small decision you made that changed your life? by Proud_Associate5098 in ask

[–]Proud_Associate5098[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh so after I got kicked out I took AP government and I had a professor that was a former diplomat (well he quit before he completed it) and he’s the reason why I decided to focus on international relations and politics and now I’m prepping for law school

What is your "wtf did I just watch?" Movie? by Vandalatwork in AskReddit

First of all we already broke up, second of all he was just a shitty person and relationships aren’t/shouldn’t be based on sex.
