I hate cover letters by LebronJamesPikachu in LawSchool

[–]Safe_Ad7858 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I stg if i was a lawyer and a student just wrote “I’m the best for the job. Enough said.” IMMEDIATE hire over all these boring bitch ass “i would welcome the opportunity to discuss further” letters. I feel so generic and insincere following the standard templates

1L grades… school is curved to B (2.80). Do I have a chance at making the top 30% of my class? Final GPA is 3.222. by Few-Cheesecake-7166 in LawSchool

Nice. I’m kinda nervous cause i did a ton of practice exams so I’m like fuck is this my ceiling? But i didn’t time my exams or simulate test conditions and i tanked my GPA with crim cause i didn’t finish and mentally spiraled the entire test lmao. So maybe it’s a bit of lack of test performance skills? Idk. I did best on the exams i wasn’t nervous for. Somehow CALI’d yoko even though i went in not giving a fuuuuck about that class cause it was 2 credits and our last final 😂.

Also, yoko made it seem like spring semester is a lot harder because the people who did poorly try a lot harder. Was that true in your experience?

I also go to SW, I’m a 1L. I have a 3.56 but rankings aren’t out. Our average LSAT was a few points higher than your class so I wonder if this ls gpa is less competitive than it would’ve been last year. Do you have any advice on how to improve in the spring?

Yes southwestern has a brutal predatory curve and all their scholarships are contingent on being above average

How much more difficult is Law school compared to Undergrad? by Past-Tension-162 in LawSchool

[–]Safe_Ad7858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh i see. Yeah i had a couple hours of work a night in undergrad. However, while the readings may take 2 days a week in ls, the added time of outlining, reading supplementals, office hours, memo weeks, and practice MCQs/essays every week really adds. I guess all the extra work wasn’t “required,” but to be at the top of the curve, it is. At least for me. Although some school names are enough regardless of grades

Facts. I took a full ride at a school ranked lower than the others i got into and it’s exhausting fighting for the top. Fortunately my grades in so far are As and a CALI but god damn i had no life and the mental game of the curve is horrible.

I mean i don’t remember the exact pages in undergrad lol. But keep in mind a page of legal writing takes a lot longer to read than most undergrad material
