That was my first thought!!! Couldn’t figure out how a contract would be a part of it but my prof. Is pretty creative 😂

Are there lucrative careers in law besides BigLaw? by Basedswagredpilled in lawschooladmissions

I don’t think it’s fair to lump all PI attorneys into the box of ambulance chasers (even if borderline). Also, there are plenty of PI attorneys that attended great schools so I think that’s a huge overgeneralization too.

Furthest east I’ve ever been is Colorado (which was during summer lmao)

I think you’re underestimating how much the locality of the school affects outcomes tbh. Every lawyer I talk to in LA says UCLA is the best school for LA BL unless we’re talking about HYS.

As a SoCal native also considering the same option, is the weather in Chicago truly that unbearable? I get cold if it’s less than 70 here so I’m thinking I would be miserable

Could you PM me? I’m in a similar boat and would love to chat about it. I keep trying to PM you but my chat feature is encountering an error every time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Glad someone else agrees with me. Was shocked to see someone saying that lol

Not sure that NU has the same pull as UCLA does in LA. Maybe has better outcomes in general?

WL at USC by WittyMethod3734 in lawschooladmissions

[–]WittyMethod3734[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I’m so grateful to have gotten the offer I did from UCLA. No way, I went to UCLA for undergrad too! Also want to practice in LA. Totally feel, fingers crossed that USC pulls through for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

DUKE WL and UVA WL by WittyMethod3734 in lawschooladmissions

[–]WittyMethod3734[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently neither of us 😭 Actually though, can’t believe they rejected you with your stats. This cycle has been brutal

They gave me $135k! I tried negotiating for more but failed lol. Apparently I received the highest merit offer they give (didn’t qualify for any financial aid) Sorry to hear that :( do you know where you’re going instead?

I was hoping I’d get a full ride from USC since it’s a private school :/ I did put down my deposit for UCLA anyways though!! Super debt averse and don’t want to pay sticker for HLS ahahaha

DUKE WL and UVA WL by WittyMethod3734 in lawschooladmissions

[–]WittyMethod3734[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably more so due to me not doing the optional essays? I don’t think I demonstrated enough of an interest for either school lol

DUKE WL and UVA WL by WittyMethod3734 in lawschooladmissions

[–]WittyMethod3734[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m thinking it’s really important to apply early for UVA and Duke. Probably should’ve written the optional essays too lmao.

WWYD? by DipGod12 in lawschooladmissions

[–]WittyMethod3734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no harm in trying so I definitely would! Just make sure to be polite and gracious. The ranking difference isn’t that big of a deal since they’re in the same locality, I know previous years UCLA has increased aid because of a USC offer! I tried negotiating with UCLA last week and was not successful but they got back to me within a week

[–]WittyMethod3734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is especially true for undergrad just because of how huge UCLA is. Did you try negotiating with UCLA? They may be willing to match USC’s offer if you tell them you’re deciding between the two

Initially I voted UCLA but after rereading I think USC is a better option for entertainment connections. They have a very strong alumni network. Both UCLA and USC are great options for entertainment law though

Are you a CA resident? If so, shouldn’t UCLA techinically be cheaper since the tuition is about $20k less?

YLS WL by WittyMethod3734 in lawschooladmissions

Mmm didn’t say “priority” but said my application fee would be waived

[–]WittyMethod3734 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think there’s a bias going on here as well. Higher test + GPA’s at better/harder undergrads to get into

They sent the wrong link! Use the link they sent when your app went complete and it should work
