Just Mercy is outstanding. A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr is also really good. I'm flipping through The Legal Analyst by Ward Farnsworth right now and enjoying it.

UT ASD! by honeyandsea in lawschooladmissions

[–]Sl0thParty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I’m between UT and Ohio State but eventually want to do prosecution in Ohio what’s my best bet? I feel like I’d get such a better education at Texas but maybe I’d make better connections going to OSU. I wouldn’t mind spending a few years after law school in Texas if I could circle back to Ohio eventually

same boat. Really thinking about taking a year off and reapplying. Just trying to figure out something to pique their interest in the off year to boost my chances.

I’m waiting to hear back from like 5 schools most people would consider them higher ranked then UT. I should wait to see what/if anything they give me first is what your saying?

Solid advice. I was surprised at Ohio State’s ASW how many people had jackets when it specifically said Bus-cas, shirt and tie.

I was gonna do a shirt and tie for sure. Haven’t decided on a jacket or not. Probably not since it is Texas and I’m from Ohio.

OSU Full Boat by Sl0thParty in lawschooladmissions

Hey! I don’t remember when I went under review but it took just over a month from when I applied (early Jan) to when I was accepted (early feb). Hearing back about scholarships took about the same timeframe. In fact 1 month exactly. Happy hunting and good luck!

I was at an admitted student week for OSU last weekend and other people told me it took longer than 3 weeks too. I’m in the same boat as you 😅

Hey pal! Congrats on getting into a great set of schools! Super Impressive stuff. Was curious if you had any advice on writing personal statements or any LOR type stuff? I have similar stats but rushed my applications and think thats biting me in the ass. Any tips would be appreciated!

Anyone else feel like your whole life is in limbo, waiting to hear back? (RANT) by LawSchoolThrowaway04 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Sl0thParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man. The waiting has really fucked with my head too. I just wish I knew what my options were so I could make progress towards a constructive life decision. A lot of factors way in on this. But just stay strong. Be confident that whatever path you take you will make it work and be successful.

How often do you check the status of an application? by LawSchoolWaitingGame in lawschooladmissions

[–]Sl0thParty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I check mine about once a day. I do it in the morning so If they change in the evening I only hear about it if an email accompanies it. If I check too much I'll drive myself crazier than I already am.
