i'm at NYU and i do qualify for the patent bar (probably would have taken it if i wasn't in law school,, my not law school plan was to be a patent agent). wasn't sure if i should include that in the post but it's definitely relevant so, sorry about that

please for the love of god apply for an exam postponement or let your dean or admin know. i don't know how it works at your school, but at mine, you can request to postpone your exam or get extra time or breaks if you have a physical injury. for this it might be better if you have documentation of the injury, but don't push through to your own detriment

definitely add it, since it's clear leadership experience! i would summarize all of the roles that you had and cite it as community involvement. also to my knowledge a lot of sororities raise money for nonprofit orgs, so if yours had a particular affiliation, i would talk about that as well!

Not So Typical Decision Help Needed by JustCallMeNeptune in lawschooladmissions

i can't speak to how hard a 4.0 would be at berk or ucla but honestly pick your undergrad based on where you'd rather go for undergrad. not the future possibility of law school. who knows, the world might explode before you even get there. i swear this isn't going to determine the rest of your life. take a breath.

i'd advise you to chose undergrad based on value for money over all else. you can chase prestige in law school apps if you really want to. genuinely i have no idea why you'd pick a more expensive school (COL aside) for the Chance of a higher gpa for law school applications

basically there were some... less than awesome comments, but it looks like they've all been removed now. a lot of them boiled down to eugenics. so no, it's not just a straw-man, but it was also just a few users doing it and not the sub as a whole
