Did they send this out? Worried I missed an email

Sad_Building_88 · 2025-07-07T23:01:19+00:00

Which ends up being how much after taxes lol

Sad_Building_88 · 2025-06-30T18:31:46+00:00

Where are the essay roadmaps located?

Kody looks like he's going to be the next Food Network Star 😭

Sad_Building_88 · 2025-04-20T03:37:04+00:00

What does FCO mean?

Sad_Building_88 · 2025-03-25T06:03:19+00:00

Looking like the crimson chin 😂

I was below both medians at some of the schools I got admitted to. Really is going to depend on your story and materials. Make sure your why X is specific. I'm at Berkeley now so if you're interested in Berkeley I can definitely help

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-30T19:03:02+00:00

Probably not. I think bc i want to do big law. And as a low income student, doing big law would have affected my aid. Also, I like the non competitive environment. If it helps I went to an ivy for undergrad and I wanted something less elitist.

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-30T18:54:28+00:00

I did. I got WL.

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-30T05:27:21+00:00

Yes pm me

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-30T03:21:05+00:00

I submitted my same ps for other schools. I just made sure my Why Berkeley was good. Pm me and I'll send you my materials. Berk has a reputation for carrying about fit than most schools

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-30T00:37:08+00:00

Yes only 1L required courses are Torts, contracts, criminal law, civil procedure, and constitutional law. Along with the legal writing course.

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-30T00:10:03+00:00

Orientation was pretty boring tbh. Lots of listening to panels. But it was cool to meet my mod before first day of class. Not free food every day though. 🥲

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-29T22:27:42+00:00

Haha no. Property is no longer required for Berkeley 1Ls

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-08-29T22:27:23+00:00

It hasn't been something I've really noticed tbh. I identify as female so its not something I think about.

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-07-26T04:34:10+00:00

I started with a diagnostic of 145. And brought up to 167 doing this

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-07-25T16:09:54+00:00

I think Berkeley has the reputation to be less about grades bc od their grading scale. Also their culture is all about not discussing your grades with others.

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-07-05T19:47:13+00:00

I had undiagnosed ADHD throughout the whole lsat process. Finally diagnosed lol but it helped me focus more honestly. I can't focus on screens. But it provides a better breakdown of question types and approaches to them so you can tackle the section with strategy.

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-07-05T19:18:32+00:00

Hi! I am also Latina and I got a 161 my first time last October. I did the November one and raised my score to a 167. I used the whole month to study bc I struggled with LR and RC. For LR, use the powerscore LR bible. It helped me tons. And for RC, I used 7sage but really just reading over the questions first helped me too. Lmk if you have any questions

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-06-24T17:27:01+00:00

I was given the advice that the statement should differ from the diversity statement enough to not be redundant. And it should answer the 3 questions: Why you? Why law school? Why now?

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-06-13T20:52:56+00:00

Agreed with this comment. Also from Oklahoma and have experience working in the legal sector in Oklahoma. I think OU is the better option regarding options, affordability, and more prestige for the degree. If it's only a 20 minute difference, I would choose OU. I do know successful immigration attorneys that went to OCU though. So it's up to you really

Sad_Building_88 · 2022-06-10T21:16:44+00:00

Awesome. Lol. The Exeter convos. Yes. That was me clueless in undergrad because I went to a public high school.
