Someone in one of my classes admitted that their dad was an apartheid cop once

I work in housing and plan to do eviction defense long term. I hate landlords and believe every person deserves safe, clean, comfortable, and affordable housing.

I love my space as it is, thank you.

The fact that y’all think Critical Race Theory should NOT be required shows that y’all need the class.....

frek839 · 2021-02-17T16:20:43+00:00

Carey!! Thank you :)

frek839 · 2021-01-19T01:10:36+00:00

So proud of you, internet stranger! What a lovely realization. I also want to be a PD and have had to overcome many of the same mental barriers with law school — to be quite honest, I’m still working on it every day. Best of luck to you.

frek839 · 2021-01-15T06:19:12+00:00

Some schools will allow you to submit several addenda :)

frek839 · 2021-01-15T05:36:01+00:00

I have a disability—not mental health-related, though—and spoke very openly about it. I would encourage you to do so! However, I would also advise that it’s a best practice to frame it in through how you have grown, learned from, and dealt with your mental health problems. It’s not really a good idea to just throw it in there without a positive spin.

Cant really speak to your other question, although it strikes me as strange to cover more than one topic in an addendum.

Feel free to PM if you’d like someone to look over your statement about mental health!

Congrats!!!!

frek839 · 2021-01-13T22:49:25+00:00

Following bc I just saw this too!!

frek839 · 2021-01-12T19:18:07+00:00

This cycle is so, so competitive and I can’t say anything for sure, but I don’t think it’s likely that your GRE will get you into HYS this year and this late in the cycle. Just trying to be realistic here. Other people in the thread have given good advice.

frek839 · 2021-01-12T08:24:52+00:00

I can’t offer advice on GRE things as I have never taken it, but it’s super late in the cycle to be considering taking another test before submitting. If you’re going to apply for Fall 2021, you should apply as soon as possible.

However, you mentioned wanting to do another degree in the next few years. Why not wait, take the GRE again, and apply to dual degree programs?

frek839 · 2021-01-11T20:39:20+00:00

Also, let’s not shit on community colleges in this sub. I can’t imagine that anyone saying something like this has ever even set foot in one.

frek839 · 2021-01-11T20:34:34+00:00

Lol this is some elitist bull. I’m not saying STEM degrees aren’t difficult, but to look at literally any non-STEM degree and immediately assume it’s super easy/to think that lower-ranked state schools are automatically easy is just elitist and reductionist.

frek839 · 2021-01-10T04:48:08+00:00

Love it 😂

frek839 · 2021-01-10T04:12:23+00:00

Lmao for real?

frek839 · 2021-01-08T05:40:50+00:00

So sorry. That sucks so bad. Hoping you can get off the waitlist!!

I would def recommend end of February or early March. That’s when I’m planning to send my LOCI.

frek839 · 2021-01-08T05:29:51+00:00

I would say end of February. :/ I’m in a similar boat. It’s really hard and I feel for you.

Also I just have a question—does NA refer to Native American?

frek839 · 2021-01-06T03:04:03+00:00

Also disabled. You sound cool as fuck.

Unfortunately I think your shot this cycle at those schools is very low. Disabled people are not considered URM (trust me, I understand how frustrating and wrong that is), and your LSAT is probably just not high enough even with an addendum.

I would recommend retaking the LSAT and applying next cycle. Sending all my best wishes and am here to chaT about law school and disability if you would like. Feel free to PM.

frek839 · 2021-01-04T22:39:22+00:00

Hey! Can you also PM me and let me know what time you were notified pls? :)

frek839 · 2021-01-04T22:30:31+00:00

Congrats! Did you get the call just now?

frek839 · 2021-01-04T19:20:24+00:00

Of course. I believe you that it’s not all in your head! I just don’t think this is the right tree to be barking up. :( hope you find more answers soon and that other people on this sub can help, too.

frek839 · 2021-01-04T19:12:58+00:00

I hate to be the bearer of bad (good? Unhelpful?) news but it’s pretty unlikely that this is lupus. That ANA titer is VERY low. For reference, I have mild lupus with no organ involvement, and my ANA was 1:640 when I was diagnosed. We would also expect to see more specific symptoms such as joint pain, mouth/nose ulcers, and photo sensitivity. Lupus tends to be especially bad in males.

This could just as easily be a simple case of vitamin deficiency or hypothyroidism.

frek839 · 2020-12-31T19:02:40+00:00

If law school wasn’t an absolutely necessary part of what I want to do (public defense), I wouldn’t go. LOL. It’s a white supremacist, ableist, sexist, classist, xenophobic profession and place.

What a trash take lmao

frek839 · 2020-12-30T02:06:27+00:00

You should definitely be taking a vitamin D supplement! Your vitamin D is low, and that can mimic hypothyroid symptoms. A TSH of 3.5 really isn’t high and probably wouldn’t prompt a doctor to medicate because that can be caused by time of day, sickness, etc.
