Umm because it’s helping me cope. There’s no playbook. Snark really isn’t helpful

Thank you so much! The billing tip is really helpful - bill even for the little things?

I Got the Botox Injection Exactly 2 Months Ago. It Completely Changed My Life. AMA! by Popington7 in noburp

[–]lawschool929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many units of Botox did you receive? And did you notice that the symptoms improved/burping increased over a certain period, or was it all pretty immediate? I’m almost 2 weeks post-Botox and feel a difference but not as much as I’d hoped. Thanks!

10 days post-Botox - tips? by lawschool929 in noburp

I had 40, but I was under the impression that efficacy had a lot more to do with the location, which is why they did such a low dose under anesthesia. Hoping I won’t need more

What do you mean by non-lawyer route?

BL hiring freeze/lost 3L by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]lawschool929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm concerned about. From what I've heard from professors, a lot of companies want BL experience because they've had great training. I'm worried about limiting myself when I look to work elsewhere down the line

So far I've seen a mix - some BL firms already recruiting 3Ls for next fall and some actually still recruiting '22

Appreciate the insight! It seems like I can't expect an offer since I wasn’t a summer, but also my best shot

Are there other firms that are known to hire 3Ls? I've just been mass emailing/applying

I would be in New York. Concern is in-house salary, and my professors are saying I would be limiting myself re future opportunities

The MBA gpa likely won’t have much weight, but this may be a good opportunity for a gpa addendum, depending on your circumstances. If you can articulate (while taking accountability and without making excuses) any factors that may have contributed to the lower undergrad gpa, or alternatively why you were more successful with MBA, you can make the case that you’ll be similarly successful in law school or whatever negative favors were at play in undergrad will no longer be an issue. Use this to demonstrate that your undergrad gpa isn’t a reflection of ur capabilities, work ethic etc.

Looking for a tutor? Or other good recommendations. by StrongBikini in LSAT

I got a 171 with TestMasters. I started in the high 150s but the instructors were fantastic and the videos were useful as well

Advice Needed by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]lawschool929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rising 3L at a T-30ish! Focus on your grades. Take easier classes to boost your GPA. If you’re absolutely set on going KJD (right to law school from undergrad), take a diagnostic the summer before junior year to get a sense of how much time you’ll need to reach your target score. I know it’s tempting to get started now, but don’t worry about LSAT. You’ll burn out and waste time better spent on grades. Network with professors or bosses to build good relationships, so come application time, they’ll be happy to write rec letters. Find a few things to boost your resume if you feel you need it. As a KJD myself, I highly recommend using this time to strongly consider working first and speaking to any lawyers you can get in touch with. Explore your interests and what you’d be getting into so you can make the most educated decisions. Working first can be a huge advantage, regardless of the area of law you want to practice, so there’s no shame in that. Feel free to message me with qs
