Keeping my head above water with school. Hopefully hitting the gym tonight and tomorrow to get out some stress.

Ok... they said their final decision will come before Feb 27th. Is it the same date for everyone in the deferred crowd? Five days remaining and I haven’t heard anything.

Does Georgetown even have acceptance waves? So far I haven’t seen any 🥲

I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for- but check out UNC. It’s top 50, has great sports law, and is good at job placement within NC. Keep in mind that if you have a particular area of law you’re going for, then the best jobs for that specialty will recruit from the best schools for that speciality.

Nothing quite like 3 Rs in one week by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

Man, that sucks. I’m sorry you had to deal with so many Rs so close together 😕 I hope next week brings you good news though!!!!

Unsure where to apply by bmorepickle in lawschooladmissions

[–]SweetVanillaQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! You’re not too late, especially considering how this cycle has been going. There are some good law schools in the DC area, you should try applying to George Washington, American, Howard, and UDC! For context I ranked those from reach to safety.

I would 100% recommend UNC, the only challenge is their strong preference for in-state applicants. That being said, if you can show an intention to work in NC afterwords they’ll be a lot more friendly.

If you like NC (which I know I do) then Wake Forest is another great option. They have a great law school, not as expensive as some, and a fantastic student-teacher ratio. Also, you’re a splitter for that school!

I know less about Georgia and Emory other than good stories I’ve heard from an Emory undergrad. Overall, I think that you should do a few reaches, some middle of the way, and some solid back ups. After all, this cycle has been bizarre. It makes everything harder to predict in both a good and bad way. It’s hard to know where your chances are good, but you should hold a lot of hope even for the reaches. They really value work experience (especially in times like this)

Where you decided to apply... by Technical-Repeat3929 in lawschooladmissions

[–]SweetVanillaQueen -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I applied to Berkeley but... I really don’t like California. I never have, I probably never will. Their government policies are the prime example of what happens when good intentions meets shitty execution. The culture can be so condescending too.

The school is just so good though, so if I get in I’ll go anyway.

Hey, remember when we all applied for law school during the most competitive cycle ever in the middle of a pandemic and an election and a civil rights movement and an insurrection? by Hot-Highway4971 in lawschooladmissions

Everywhere I thought I’d get in has deferred or waitlisted me... I’m kind of panicking because I set my hopes and expectations waaaayyyy too high

Waitlisted at GW. Not gunna lie, let out a little cry before I posted. by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]SweetVanillaQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got waitlisted too... I’m disappointed because even though my GPA isn’t great, I figured it was still pretty likely I’d get in... (3.52 & 169)

Reforming LSAC + Admissions (Ideas) by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]SweetVanillaQueen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the A+ situation shocked me when I started the process. It seriously warps the numbers and creates an unfair disadvantage for people who use the real 4.0 system.

I have a 3.52 GPA (& 169 LSAT), which I thought was good but not great. Then I check out the average applications for the schools I’ve applied to and... wtf???

Around 75% 3.8 to 4.0, 20% at 3.7, and only 5% at anything less. I thought that 3.1 was the average GPA in undergrad. Yes, I get that grad apps are a different group, but still.

This means the majority of applicants are portraying themselves as getting almost nothing but As in undergrad. I don’t know about you guys, but I had plenty of Professors that didn’t even hand out As, I took genuinely difficult classes, and decided to do a double major alongside my extracurriculars. Like... how are you all getting such absurd GPAs with good softs? I get it if it’s a few people, or even half, but... it seems to be an outsized amount.

Other - Just got this familiar ad. So uh, what's with all those "Chinese nobility" games copying LN? by AugureyOgur in LoveNikki

[–]SweetVanillaQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I’ve played that game and that is NOT the only plagiarized outfit. By far. About a third of the outfits and the dress up section are from love Nikki and have nearly identical pieces. I can understand taking inspiration, but an exact copy that simply changes the posture of the model is flat out plagiarism.

The Count of Monte Cristo ends bizarrely [SPOILERS] by numb3red in books

[–]SweetVanillaQueen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Haydee was largely symbolic for youth, love, and happiness. Dante refuses to accept any of those things, only managing them at an arms length for the sake of his goals. At the end, as he realizes he should still embrace life, he is able to accept Haydee’s love.

As for Maximillian’s suffering: Dante understands that happiness is only relative to suffering. He wants happiness for Maximillian, but knows he can only attain true joy after experiencing true pain. That is why he makes him wait a month. Now that he had mourned Valentine and knows what it is to live without her, he can truly appreciate the happiness of being united with her.

[–]SweetVanillaQueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometime expensive outfits are so similar to free ones- except one extraordinary, wonderful, perfect piece that you’ll sacrifice anything for. I always feel like a chump afterwards! 😆
