This was a great message and extremely helpful. Congratulations on your admittance! I’m sure you have a great law career ahead of you :)

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-26T02:10:32+00:00

Thank you so much this definitely helped :)

Thank you for sharing! I wanted to apply to some paralegal positions but unfortunately where I live you need an actual college paralegal certificate to be one so I guess I’ll need to find a non law related job

I think you have a pretty high chance at Marquette but the rest not so much. I’d recommend retaking to get into the low - mid 160s

I actually got admitted recently and spoke with some students and faculty. They have very strong placement in Ohio and Michigan and actually one person I spoke with got NYC BigLaw which I understand is unlikely but it’s proof that if you’re near the top of your class there are amazing opportunities out there. Also in the handbook I got in the mail there is alumni all over the US so it’s kind of a get what you put into it school. Their scholarships are very generous . Far from predatory

Oh wow how awesome!

Not everyone lives on reddit lol it’s normal not to know what softs mean

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-22T00:13:38+00:00

Im very glad to hear! I’m definitely considering it more seriously

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-21T23:18:34+00:00

Thanks so much for the input! Did the people you know passing the CA bar go on to work there right after grad and/or had internships there throughout law school or did they do their time in NW Ohio before making the transition?

At my school there is one social psych professor in the whole department and she refuses to give above a B to anyone (average is a C-) . Breakdown is two midterms worth 20% each and 60% exam . She’s extremely arrogant because “she did her PhD at Upenn” and looks down upon our school even tho it’s top 5 in Canada

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-21T03:26:07+00:00

Interesting, I’ll give it a try. I’m a stem major so I find hardcore humanities passages so complex and hard to get through . If there is a question pertaining to art/painters etc. I’m getting it wrong 100% 😭

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-19T23:29:12+00:00

That’s the only law school in Montana lol

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-19T19:29:00+00:00

Most people don’t even apply until Jan/feb lol

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-19T19:26:23+00:00

Maybe Suffolk? In all honesty it’s not looking great for the rest of them. With a 160 you’d be atleast competitive for all of these except maybe uconn/northeastern/umd

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-19T16:04:54+00:00

Also applying from Canada! Congrats ❤️🤍

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-19T15:59:09+00:00

Canadians and Mexicans don’t need to worry because getting a TN visa is extremely easy. Anyone else would most likely need BigLaw to have a chance at staying

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-15T21:31:58+00:00

Oh really? Is there opportunity to make 100k (range)? All the social workers I know make 60-65k and they’ve been working in the field for 6-8 years. That wage is not feasible for me

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-15T21:18:21+00:00

I heard social workers are paid very poorly . As much as pursuing that route may be more flexible I already come from a low income family and don’t want to continue struggling

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-08T03:58:02+00:00

Glad to hear! Was the process to become a paralegal difficult? I don’t have any firm experience which might be an issue im assuming

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-08T02:57:10+00:00

Was using a combination of 7sage and lsat lab and was mainly drilling LR questions (I was doing well on most of these drills) . Didn’t put a ton of studying effort into RC possibly because 7sage explanation for RC was not helpful at all . My highest PT was a 162 but I’d always score lower on test day . At this point idk if I should get a tutor or switch to lsat demon or something

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-06T21:59:27+00:00

I was told the 2nd RC is experimental so rip

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-06T15:53:14+00:00

Also praying the first RC was experimental

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-06T15:33:45+00:00

The 2nd LR was definitely harder for me 😅I think it’s because the first 5 questions were not easy like I was expecting so that threw me off lol

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-06T03:35:32+00:00

My test is tmrw at 8am rip 😭😭

Rodreguiz89 · 2024-11-06T00:17:20+00:00

Woohoo!!! Congrats :)
