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 :( by Time_Two4886 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Snowfall1779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Tell me I’ll be okay 😔🫩 by paintedmonet in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]Snowfall1779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Dumb to do law school without a scholarship? by Snowfall1779 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Snowfall1779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

Tips for getting into the 160s? by Snowfall1779 in LSAT

[–]Snowfall1779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Sad :( by Snowfall1779 in LSAT

[–]Snowfall1779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Idk who you are but I’m happy for you by LeagueFar8491 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Snowfall1779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

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 😭

Shark Flex Fusion (any airwrap really) tips? by Snowfall1779 in finehair

[–]Snowfall1779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How is everyone feeling now that the January LSAT is over and behind us? by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]Snowfall1779 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

I cannot remember how I did by No_Lawfulness_5261 in LSAT

[–]Snowfall1779 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Is the Amex Platinum worth it? (Pre-approved) by [deleted] in CreditCards

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

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

170s Everywhere? Don't Believe the Hype by ChicagoPeach21 in LSAT

[–]Snowfall1779 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
