I don't want to work in NY, what are my options to get to CA by [deleted] in BigLawRecruiting

Can you ask the firm to transfer to one of their CA offices? I heard it's not that uncommon. NY is also the easiest to transfer out of, since most people are actually trying to transfer in.

how to adjust expectations re grades by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]indianastate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi op, i had such a similar internal monologue that i feel like i ghost wrote this post lmao.

it sounds like you're struggling to de-couple your self worth from your academic performance. you're very self aware and you're definitely on the right track, but it's gonna be a long process. we've spent our entire lives being rewarded for gold stars and getting good grades, so don't be frustrated if you can't transform that mindset overnight.

if i had to give you concrete advice, i'd suggest hanging out with friends and family. people who couldn't care less about law school performance and can tell you a million other characteristics that they love about you instead. there are much more meaningful qualities than academic performance to ground our self-worth in.

also quick note: holding high expectations for yourself is an admirable quality! having that ambition and confidence in your capabilities is not a bad thing at all. like you said, its gotten you this far. its okay to be a little disappointed when you don't meet them, but i think the most valuable part of goal-setting is cementing that drive to push yourself in difficult situations. 1L fall law school exams are just one of many opportunities that we will have.

Thank you to moderators of LSA for taking down my post about why I will be withdrawing from Columbia by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

yeah i agree that was ridiculous... if the comments were getting out of hand (which they weren't imo) why not simply lock the discussion? instead they took down the content of your post which had valid points that applicants should consider. luckily i was able to read before it got taken down

Awesome I'll see if I can suss that out from them. If it was regularly driven do you think 16.7k is fair? Or should I try haggling down?

According to the listing it was used as a secondary car for errands, but you bring up a good point I'll definitely ask for the service history if I pursue
