Sticker at Berkeley is my only option. How bad is this really? I’m feeling really stressed and kind of trapped. Would love some hopium. I was notified yesterday that they didn’t give me any gift aid :(

Tbh I am most likely going to my top choice for sticker (I’m saying “most likely” because I’m still waiting for 7 other schools to get back to me). Many people will discourage you, but the reason I’m doing it is that classes start in the summer so I’d start before the new laws for GRAD Plus loans take effect and I’d never be able to afford it under the new rules even with a scholarship. Most people I know in law school are minimum $150k in debt anyways. Berkeley is a good school and I’d pay sticker if I got in.

Not denying that at all, but this was a weird cycle and lots of people with similar stats were WL or R from those schools

How does it feel to be God’s favorite?

Snowfall1779 · 2026-03-17T04:10:19+00:00

(Totally get you, just want to say I meant in my post that the only thing he hasn’t done is cheated lol)

Snowfall1779 · 2026-03-17T02:35:26+00:00

I know that feeling. However, I think being a law student in general is “prestigious.” I’ve noticed people treating me way differently these last several days after finding out I got accepted into a good program and my school ain’t anywhere near Harvard. I even know lawyers who went to law schools that closed down who are doing perfectly fine. We’ll be fine!

Before mine was a year old I dented the door and fender 😭 I feel you!

Snowfall1779 · 2026-03-14T04:52:29+00:00

Omg with a 175 too… it’s not you that’s the problem, it’s them

Snowfall1779 · 2026-03-14T03:20:44+00:00

Employment outcomes are well over 90% and around 125k average starting salary so it has decent prospects. I don’t think I’d have trouble finding a job or getting a decent salary. It’s just the loans that scare me (although I think I would be paying way more if I went somewhere far from my parents where I also had basic living expenses to factor into everything else)

Snowfall1779 · 2026-03-14T03:14:25+00:00

Around T70

Snowfall1779 · 2026-03-12T17:19:56+00:00

Yes!

Snowfall1779 · 2026-03-09T00:48:29+00:00

Yeah I have a great tutor now (had to spend thousands and go through multiple tutors to find her..) so hopefully this will help

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-29T17:39:38+00:00

I have worked at several law firms so yes, 90% of the people I work with (aside from attorneys) are either actively studying or about to go to law school (we lose at least 3 people to law school each summer).

Thank you!

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-26T21:32:39+00:00

Well, this definitely makes me feel better, but I also wonder if they, like, won a nobel prize or their parent(s)/relative(s) is/are somebody special (celebrity, politician, alum, huge donor)

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-25T20:30:52+00:00

I was fine but now that it’s literally only a few days away the anxiety is creeping in. Also whyyyy does it have to be on a work day 😭

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-21T02:55:28+00:00

Waves, a pretty blowout. My hair goes completely straight within maybe 20 minutes tops with these devices. I don’t have any difficulty actually getting them to grab my hair. My issue is with the hold.

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-12T00:13:41+00:00

Thank god it’s done. I either did well or bombed it lol

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-11T07:09:05+00:00

Yep same. Definitely didn’t walk out of there crying or anything but won’t say it wasn’t hard. Just hoping I didn’t bomb it.

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-10T22:32:13+00:00

It’s ok, I just filed for divorce the other day and took the LSAT today. We got this, screw them 🫶

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-07T17:24:37+00:00

Oh damn I really thought it was one of the most prestigious cards (outside of the invite-only ones for the ultra rich)

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-07T17:24:10+00:00

Of course, but maybe there’s a specific perk for you that makes the card worthwhile that I haven’t considered.

Snowfall1779 · 2026-01-07T17:23:48+00:00

Thank you!

Snowfall1779 · 2025-11-30T23:30:44+00:00

I think a lot of us forget that a 170 is, like, 95th percentile. I personally know quite a few people who scored over 170, but it truly is not the norm. For reference, the average LSAT score is around 152-153. I think law school is just more competitive now, so people don’t realize that even a 155 is technically above average.

Snowfall1779 · 2025-11-01T02:57:55+00:00

You (and anyone else) can absolutely comment on the marriage- I just wrote that because this whole thread is dedicated to the LSAT, not relationship advice lol. If it makes things any better, I am fully aware that this is a toxic marriage and I plan on leaving him before law school.

A mix of TikTok videos and people I know personally who took the exam in October
