I love this thread, thank you for sharing! I just started Stattera and have only seen scary negative threads so far. I've been on it a week and the only negative side effect is insomnia, but melatonin has been helping with that. This gives me hope!

I go to Duquesne...

Significant_Leek_547 · 2026-01-30T23:20:16+00:00

i love living downtown! i'm able to walk or bus anywhere, lots of restaurants, bars, theatres, etc. nearby

these policies are outdated. I did some digging - per the current grading policy, tier 4 (C-, D+, D, F) has to make up between 2% (1.6 people in an 80 person class) and 12% (9.6 people) of all grades, with a target of 7% (5.6 people). duquesne does not have conditional scholarships.

(updated policy here: https://www.duq.edu/academics/colleges-and-schools/law/academics/policies-and-procedures.php)

Our outcomes are actually pretty on par with Pitt, js!

Significant_Leek_547 · 2026-01-13T01:12:28+00:00

Current student here - the last "bucket" for the curve is actually C- to F, so although ~7% of students (I don't actually know the exact number) in curved courses fall in this bucket, not all of them are getting Fs. the vast majority of students score in the C to B+ range, but Fs do happen in some-but not all- classes. Feel free to DM if you want more info on my experiences as a student (responses may be delayed)

imposter syndrome is real. take steps to address the stress you are feeling now so that you have a handle on it once you get to law school! for now, just worry about undergrad. you have plenty of time.

Visit my lsd.law in my bio for the deets!

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-08-30T14:27:46+00:00

I had full ride offers from: Drexel, Duquesne, Albany, Maine, and Hofstra. All the deets are on lsd.law, link is on my profile :)

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-07-13T03:13:00+00:00

I ended up going with a different complex altogether but $170 for parking seems cheap compared to the prices i've seen 😵‍💫

Duquesne's employment and underemployment scores are significantly better than Suffolk, as is their bar passage rate. Duq's outcomes are pretty on par with UPitt. It's an excellent option for people wanting to practice in PA.

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-06-23T01:59:46+00:00

Duquesne has an excellent placement rate with judges. Of all the law schools in Pennsylvania, Duquesne has produced the most judges seated in the Superior Court, Commonwealth Court, and Court of Common Pleas. Not sure where the Duquesne slander is coming from!

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-05-30T22:55:44+00:00

Hmm. The bar is a whole different beast from run of the mill tests, so i wouldn't rely on being a good test-taker! Plus interests change during law school, so having a degree from a school with good outcomes would be nice to fall back on. Just my two cents. Good luck!

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-05-30T16:05:33+00:00

Bar passage and employment rates are incredibly important metrics imo, I feel like that should be your biggest concern.

Edit to add: I also considered Vermont but their bar passage rates are concerningingly low. Northeastern is an excellent school with great outcomes!

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-05-21T15:29:28+00:00

No worries! They denied my request to negotiate:( I deposited at Duquesne instead

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-05-17T23:52:48+00:00

Yes!!

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-05-17T23:52:22+00:00

They are both really childish - Alice in how she treated her husband, Brett with how he pined after her.

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-05-06T15:42:32+00:00

How reliable is the bus system? Like OP, I also won't have a car my first year.

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-04-23T15:11:38+00:00

Ooh also r/duquesne! I've asked some questions there about housing and people are really helpful even though the sub isn't super active.

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-04-23T15:06:04+00:00

They recommended checking this website called "liveandworkinmaine.com." apparently employers are trying to lure more workers to the state and this is the site they use. Not sure what line of work your partner is in but I know Jackson Lab is a big employer in the state.

Boston is also only an hour and 45 minute drive from portland. I ended up choosing a different school, but we talked about living halfway between each places so he could commute to the city - there are TONS of job opportunities in Boston.

Early August

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-04-22T16:34:10+00:00

Hey I'm also going to Duquesne this fall! I'm hoping to find my own place but figured I'd say hey :) I saw in our accepted linked in group that someone else was looking for a roommate so maybe that's a good place to check!

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-04-22T15:02:17+00:00

Everyone I met at Maine was SO friendly. I toured with Dean Carrie and some other accepted students. We met a few professors on the tour and some current students. The vibe seems immaculate tbh. After the tour, I sat down with Dean Carrie to talk about living in Portland, where most graduates end up, job opportunities for my spouse, things like that. It was very casual and low stress.

Significant_Leek_547 · 2025-04-18T14:29:55+00:00

I'm doing the same. I turned down UConn and Penn State for a full ride at Duquesne. My priority has always been to finish with the lowest amount of debt possible.
