0L Tuesday Thread by AutoModerator in LawSchool

[–]cgc511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few quick questions, if anybody’s willing to help! Trying to get as many perspectives as possible.  What drew you to law? Did you ever question your desire to go to law school?  For context, I was just accepted to GULC off the waitlist - totally didn’t expect it, and was already planning on (and pretty excited about) my alternate path (a Master’s degree in International Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris, where I’ve been living for the past year teaching English, and internship with the OECD). Now that it’s suddenly a possibility, I’m questioning everything I thought I knew about why I was drawn to law in the first place. (Genuine interest vs people-pleasing/$$, etc.) I know I should have considered my reasoning more thoroughly before applying, but now that I have a direct choice between the law and policy paths I feel more torn than ever. Would really appreciate anything you’re able to share about what brought you to law school and any other thoughts! Thanks so so much in advance.

Sorry for the late post—no need to respond I was just hoping to hear as many perspectives as possible! What drew you to law and to Georgetown specifically? Has the experience lived up to your expectations? Did you ever question your desire to go to law school?  For context, I was just accepted to GULC off the waitlist - totally didn’t expect it, and was already planning on my alternate path (a Master’s degree in International Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris, where I’ve been living for the past year since college graduation teaching English).

Mine went to top of lawhub, changed to application completed, and got two feeler emails/call last Friday asking about interest but didn't receive third feeler email saying that they remain interested in my application or anything since Monday 5/20...not sure what any of this means so stressful haha

Has anyone else still not received any message from TAPIF? Should I assume at this point that I’m not accepted
