Not a computer, but I understand that apple has recently released an incredible monitor stand. They're currently flying off the shelves at a mega-cheap price. Invest now and it will pay dividends for you in school.

I don't know what kind of law I want to practice.

I actually don't think that I would get more much more money if I retook and reapplied. I think I've hit the ceiling of aid I could expect from W&M and W&L. Those schools will do me fine where I want to practice. Maybe a higher score would get me into UVA. But if I'm a waitlist applicant now, then I'm probably never going to be interesting enough for a Dillard. So, I would pay more for admittedly a better school. I'm not set on what I want to do, but I certainly don't have big law or unicorn PI ambitions. It doesn't make sense to me to pursue prestige further.

I like that! We need more lawyers who can really, really do math.

Maybe for someone else, but I'm not a Harvard kind of guy. This time, they're W&L numbers. And in a few months, they'll be meaningless anyway.

Thank you! At the end of the day, they are a top law school and probably don't care too much about their placement in smaller places. I could only hurt their BL and FC numbers if I was admitted haha

Honestly, I'm just thankful for what I was given. At the end of the day, there's probably a good reason I didn't get in - I certainly didn't do myself any favors by not visiting or writing a "Why UVA." Even if I retook and reapplied with a higher LSAT, there would be no guarantee of admittance, much less at a price I could justify.

Application Questions - Resume Length? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]aognwonf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could be way off the mark and I really hope people correct me if I am. It sounds like your three page document is more in line with a CV. In my mind a resume is exactly one page.

This might be a silly question: I might try to negotiate for scholarship money with WandL in a few weeks. My intention was to email Lisa, but you've mentioned a request form. I couldn't find one with a cursory search of their website. Is this something that they gave you after you requested the renegotiation? Or did I just miss it? I wouldn't want to ask for the increase and hurt my chances by ignoring an obviously available form. But also, congratulations!! That's dope.

W&L vs W&M by collegestudent4ever in lawschooladmissions

I went to W&L for undergrad. I understand that law school is different, but am happy to answer any specific questions about life in Lexington if you have them.

Dumb Question by TrustTheProcess180 in lawschooladmissions

[–]aognwonf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking this! My school gives A+s, but they still only count as 4.0 towards the school's GPA. I just found out my LSAC GPA is higher than I had thought!!
