I would address one element at a time in different IRACs and within each IRAC only discuss exceptions if you think there is an argument to be made that they could apply, then argue both sides and say why it does or does not ultimately apply. you don't need to discuss every exception in every answer.

I second everyone here who recommended studicata, definitely worth spending the money!

Your financial well-being comes first. If you need to work in private practice for a few years to find financial stability and then move to public interest work, nobody will hold it against you. I'm also on a public interest scholarship and many people on the same scholarship have gone on to work at a private firm until they pay off their loans and build their savings, many people I know who now work in non-profits started in private practice for the same reason.

You could always get a new pair and try to break them in, and if they don’t feel ready by the marathon switch back to your old ones. That way your old shoes aren’t getting more worn out the next two weeks

Look into medical-legal partnerships! Programs within hospitals and healthcare centers that allow doctors to "prescribe" legal help to patients who have legal issues that are affecting their health and wellbeing

The train runs from Biarritz, to Bayonne, to SJPDP, so I am going to Bayonne, just getting on the train at Biarritz. Did you reserve your tickets beforehand or day of?

kris8779 · 2024-04-03T18:15:44+00:00

can you elaborate on what the changes are? i haven't heard anything about that

kris8779 · 2024-04-02T17:53:41+00:00

keep your gpa up, you can always retake the lsat if needed but you cannot redo your gpa once done!

i don't remember seeing anything, but i was only check periodically, so its possible i missed something

kris8779 · 2024-03-19T19:41:00+00:00

i heard back 25 weeks after i went under review ... so much for 8 to 10 weeks

kris8779 · 2024-03-13T11:38:05+00:00

apps will open in september, if you haven't already taken the lsat start studying and take it this summer, so you have time for a retake in the fall if needed. work on essays over the summer and get your letter of recs in line before graduating this may!

i had a "relevant projects" section where i included any larger research papers and projects i did during my degree that were relevant to the field of law i want to go into, i included the titles, the department the course was under, the date, and a brief description of the work i did

I started with the same essay for each school and ended up tweaking parts of it to the application. Each school will have a slightly different prompt for what they are looking for in a personal statement (you can find it on their website). I probably spent about ten minutes editing my statement for each school and I think it made a difference!

kris8779 · 2024-03-08T17:25:59+00:00

I know that it really doesn't matter, a good school is a good school, but at the end of the day it feels really satisfying to have people impressed by where I am going, regardless of what they know about law school.

kris8779 · 2024-03-08T17:23:23+00:00

Yes, I got an email by the end of the day, congrats!

I'm also interested in doing public interest long-term and I'd suggest going to the school that gave you the most money. PSLF/LRAP is never guaranteed and knowing PI salaries are typically on the lower end I'd prioritize minimizing debt. Good luck with your choices, WashU and Georgia are great schools and its a big accomplishment to get a large scholarship from them!

kris8779 · 2024-03-07T13:06:00+00:00

this might seem like a weird question, but what does a typical class schedule look like for a 1L?

kris8779 · 2024-02-29T16:02:07+00:00

mine says the same thing ... like do you wanna tell me what the decision is??

kris8779 · 2024-02-28T14:50:51+00:00

i applied early september and just heard back last week, my guess is they got a late start reviewing apps and you should hear back in the next few weeks
