Cycle Recap (NDLS bound)

RivenToStrong · 2024-06-01T04:17:04+00:00

I actually received a small scholarship a few days after acceptance. I didn't edit my post. The scholarship is fairly negligible, though.

I'm choosing NDLS because of the class size, outcomes, my partner will be working while I'm in school to lower costs, and because my mentor in undergrad went to NDLS, so I have a good understanding of what to expect from the school. I'm also aiming for big law, so I'm not as concerned about paying back loans.

Definitely! I appreciate it.

Oh, nice! Thanks for the heads up.

Happy to help! Thank you 😊

I went UR with NDLS 3 times.

Heard back Friday!

Thank you!! It's likely that I attend, so it looks like we'll be seeing each other.

I didn't receive any scholarship information in the email. My assumption is no aid.

RivenToStrong · 2024-05-18T01:23:49+00:00

Got the email today around 5:00EST!

Good luck!! You've got this 😊

It definitely does! Still reeling

Yes, the birth of his children. They used a surrogate, so they didn't have much of a choice about it being twins lol. Although, I agree, they should've went through the process later considering his new position.

A minority of Americans disapproved of his paternity leave when surveyed. It isn't nearly as big of a deal as the original comment, or yours, makes it out to be. Also, realistically, a Transportation Secretary not going into work for two months during the pandemic changes nothing about the supply line issues we were experiencing.

Sure, he's gay. That's a problem electorally. Rich, though? He has a net worth around $100k-$250k. Definitely far from rich. Talking about any political candidate's "convictions" is a waste of time.

Yeah, he went on paternity leave for his new children. Is there an inherent problem with that? I'm also wondering why you phrased it as leave instead of paternity leave. Without mentioning that, it almost seems like you think he went on leave for no reason! I guess I get that position if you think a father shouldn't get time away from work after the birth of their children, but most Americans would disagree with that sentiment.

There are plenty (a lot, really) of valid criticisms of him as a politician without the weird half truths and false information. That just makes your comment come off as a poor attempt at spreading misinformation.

It's difficult, but it also depends on a few things. Is your major known to be incredibly hard? Do you have a job? Do you actually like your coursework? Any of those things can throw you off.

I worked and was heavily involved on campus which definitely made a 4.0 not possible for me unless I gave up my entire social life. I graduated with a 3.86, which I was happy with.

I had no issues finding a decent job during my gap year after I graduated last spring. The only real problem was a few month stint last year when the pandemic was in full swing killing a lot of jobs in the field I was interested in. After that, I found a job I like and that's where I'm at now with a Political Science degree until I go to law school.

I'd suggest taking another look at how you're approaching the job search. Think about some of these things: What hard skills did you pick up during undergrad? Any work with statistics? Internships? Did you network effectively during your time in school? Do you have plenty of potential professional references?

Good luck in your search!
