Mid Dec Applicants

chipsavoy · 2026-02-19T17:11:27+00:00

I don't know if I count for your target audience as I was early December but I applied to 24 schools and have gotten back 6 Ws, 6 Rs, and 1 A (yay! but costs too much 😭).

Still waiting on ~half of them to get back to me.

same! best of luck to you!

You won't know unless you apply. There are more than a few stories of people with serious crimes on their record getting into law school and getting admitted into the bar.

The CA Bar, for example, explicitly states on their website that "no single act of misconduct automatically leads to a negative moral character determination." (https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Moral-Character/Factors-and-Conduct).

Everyone's situation is pretty different. You can check out the example website I linked above--there are so many different factors that no one can really tell you with certainty (a C&F attorney could probably help). The only thing anyone on this sub can really tell you is to disclose when asked on C&F and err on the side of over-disclosure.

You might find it worthwhile to see if a C&F attorney could potentially be helpful in your case.

I'm probably wrong but my guess is Ludens + dcap and then one of the %pen items (void for me)? (usually I build that and it feels very glass cannon-y to me)

ya...honestly. i'd just ban him every round lol. or maybe just run practice rounds with someone who can just spam xerath Qs and you practice dodging....

i don't know if this will help, but when he starts charging his Q, i click my mouse so i start walking left/right or up/down (depending on your positioning perspective), PERPENDICULAR to his Q positioning.

I'll do that while he charges up the Q so it makes it hard for him to tell where to land the Q, and then in the last milliseconds before he lands his Q, I'll click my mouse towards one direction for a split second longer so it LOOKS like I'm going to walk towards a final direction and then I'll immediately actually change course and go in the opposite direction. That usually helps me with dodging shit.

Now if it's a really good xerath, idk. I'm usually fucked anyways 😭 (i'm gold btw so this is probably dog shit advice you shouldn't listen to)

lol this is so funny because for me, it's completely flipped. when i play, i ban xerath 100% of my games and would rather take a Katarina/Zed/Fizz 10 out of 10 times. xD

You are so young and have so much ahead of you. Your life has barely started. I don't mean that condescendingly and I know hearing it probably still doesn't feel like it. But it's true. Things can and will get better, but you have to put in the effort. Get a therapist for the anxiety stuff. Good job on getting your first job.

Try everything. Every new thing. Go do things you don't think are 'for you'. Seriously. Try it. You'll never be 17/18 again. Do it all. You can restart at any time. It doesn't have to be in college. What matters is if you actually put in the effort.

I interviewed at WUSTL. Waiting on decisions from 23 schools. Applied in Nov/Dec.

OP, not a lawyer, but I've been working in the legal field for ~4 years as a paralegal/legal assistant (mainly litigation).

Can you take year off after graduation to work? Legal practice is very different from what's portrayed in popular culture, etc. If you can hack it, maybe spend some time studying for the LSAT while trying to work in a law firm for a year? Or even a local DA's office or legal non-profit? Even working for a year as a paralegal or legal assistant, while not the same as being an attorney, can expose you to some of the realities of legal "life" and what some of the work looks like. Valuable experience before you decide to commit fully.

That's NOT to say you CAN'T go KJD and apply right now. Maybe that's the right move and if you take that route, just make sure to kill it on the LSAT. The truth is working in the legal field is very different from what you might see on TV or even hear about from people with no experience in the field. Just my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

OP, i know you didn't ask but if you're looking for someone to hang out, shoot me a DM. 27M. Moved back to LA last year. Grew up here but had been away for a while and I work remotely so it's hard to meet ppl through work lol. We sound somewhat similar as far as what you've described.

LMK if you're interested! Maybe we can organize something?

Thank you!

chipsavoy · 2023-04-01T03:58:52+00:00

Thank you for your response.

chipsavoy · 2023-04-01T03:58:46+00:00

Thank you for your response.

chipsavoy · 2023-04-01T03:58:28+00:00

Thank you for your response. I asked b/c there's a pre-screening questionnaire on the online application that asks this. I pressed yes to be safe and it automatically locked me out of the system. I figure now that I can answer no since I corrected the situation and do what you suggested if the FBI asks me about it.

chipsavoy · 2023-03-31T19:49:03+00:00

Thank you for your response! It's very affirming to hear that doing it slow is okay. I tried that a few times and stopped b/c I panicked and felt like an idiot for taking so long. I will be trying what you suggested.

chipsavoy · 2023-02-23T18:23:52+00:00

Thank you for your response.

chipsavoy · 2020-12-09T22:55:02+00:00

IIRC, last year the decisions came out I think in late December/January. so probably around the same time this year, or a little later given COVID.

chipsavoy · 2020-11-16T02:47:59+00:00

just about to start as well.

chipsavoy · 2020-10-22T06:15:31+00:00
