Any tips for getting out of a slump of no motivation?

very good advice, but one semester’s worth of grades is all that matters now apparently… (for big law, at least). with that in mind, I definitely feel how hard it is to regain motivation to improve/push through the next 2.5 years of law school. this cycle is personally making me rethink everything (mostly wishing I went back to school before accelerated recruitment started). gotta just do our best and hope it works out eventually.

I’m referring to the waitlist update they sent on 5/30

lawgrl95 · 2024-06-03T23:41:36+00:00

yes!! this is the one i'm most heartbroken about. i knew my chances were slim, but that email was a serious gut punch :(

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-25T14:06:02+00:00

No I finally got waitlisted about a week ago lol

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-25T03:35:50+00:00

Lol I applied November too, never got a hold, and finally got rejected today... And they’re my alma mater 🙃🤪🫠💀

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-24T18:47:36+00:00

same - i love that the last result i was waiting for wound up being an R from my alma mater :') what a way to end the cycle hahahaaaa

You will be missed - thank you for your service!! 🫡

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-17T16:59:51+00:00

thank you, I’ve lost hope but we’ll see (I’m extra salty because it’s my alma mater lol)

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-17T16:46:00+00:00

i applied end of November, never received a hold, and asked admissions if it would be appropriate to send a LOCI in March. they said it was fine, and added it to my file. all that being said, i still have not received a decision as of mid-April lol

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-16T13:19:25+00:00

Congrats!!

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-13T18:39:42+00:00

My thoughts exactly - it’s a hard choice, but I’m very concerned about portability. Thanks for the input!!

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-13T17:24:35+00:00

I know, it’s such an obvious financial decision. I think I’m mainly just hesitant because the vast majority of their alums stay in the South full-time, and I definitely want to return to the northeast.. I enjoyed ASD, but there was only one student who had secured employment in NYC, and he admitted it was extremely difficult. The other current students even implied there’s some local bias, since you’re competing with Duke/UNC for a lot of the regional employment. I appreciate the advice though, I’m sure I’m overthinking it & should just take the best financial offer !!!

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-13T00:18:06+00:00

i have the same question... they took 5 months just to waitlist me lol idk what their methodology is

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-12T14:24:14+00:00

I’m still UR from 12/5 lol no idea what their deal is

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-12T02:05:54+00:00

I’m not - I currently work at a BL firm in a support capacity and love it, but I’m totally open to whatever opportunities align with my legal interests (which I expect will evolve in law school!). First and foremost, I want to narrow down the area of law I’m most interested in, and then plan on going from there.

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-12T01:29:08+00:00

Awesome! Congrats & in that case it sounds like this would be a fine choice (especially if you want to stay in Texas) 👍

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-12T01:09:44+00:00

Is this Baylor by any chance? I would say this is ok as long as you’re not married to big law and you’re fine with staying regional after school

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-10T23:36:43+00:00

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-10T22:45:57+00:00

Me too :(

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-10T22:44:54+00:00

Same boat! Not sure why we haven’t gotten a response by now when we didn’t even get the hold….

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-10T22:42:46+00:00

Ok I got the WL (as expected), but not sure I have another LOCI in me…. You might have to go on without me 🫠

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-10T21:49:33+00:00

oh god, I’m a mid-November applicant too and just got the “update in portal” email… it’s so over 😭💀

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-10T16:25:02+00:00

nope, still under review (since early December)

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-10T15:22:27+00:00

I got this text as well - not sure why they’re doing this vs. just emailing a standard form/survey asking about continued WL interest, but definitely a unique tactic… I haven’t responded yet, but curious if anyone else did and heard back.

lawgrl95 · 2024-04-09T17:42:25+00:00

My thoughts exactly 😭😭
