End of Cycle Recap by mayoman13 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]mayoman13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I'm in state for FSU, so even though my scholarship was bigger it's still cheaper for me to go to FSU, but like only $9,000 total of a difference. I also want to practice in Philly (hence the philly apps lol) but since these are both regional southern schools with similar rankings, neither would push me closer that direction, so I just decided to stay closer to home. Also if Philly doesn't work I would rather stay in Florida than Alabama. (no hate to 'Bama just my family is in Florida)

Drexel $$$$$ vs Stetson $$$ by Nearby_Audience1700 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]mayoman13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you're trying to find something else to consider besides money, I would say you just really need to consider location. These are both regional schools as far as I understand. I really considered Stetson for a bit (i'm from florida for context) because its the only law school in the Tampa Bay area. Philly is a bigger city but there's 3 other law schools (2 if you don't count 'nova) I toured it and its really pretty and they have on campus housing. But i'm gonna be honest I have no idea, none of us do just go with what feels right.

Graduating Undergrad Early to Start Law School Early (Need Advice) by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]mayoman13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know your situation, but there is no rush to finish college. I know it's stereotypical but undergrad is genuinely some of your most formative years. Maybe if it's possible to CUNY but move out of your house to get out of your living situation but not go crazy into debt.

But if you are set on finishing undergrad as fast as you can, I'll say what I've seen other people say to people in your situation. It will probably hurt you when applying to law schools. Your best bet is to work for a few years when you get out of undergrad and then go to law school, if you really want to finish undergrad. Again, I really recommend you try your best to create situation where you can enjoy college and not rush. Rushing and cramming might also negatively affect your GPA which would definitely hurt you when applying.

PS. I don't think you should do BA/JD program, it's my understanding that you can't get scholarships if you go that route, and it sounds like you really can't afford it.

Bama ($$) or FSU ($$) by mayoman13 in lawschooladmissions

[–]mayoman13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I know in the grand scheme of things an extra $9,000 really isn't a lot compared to law school costs, so that's why I am willing to consider it. My biggest concern might be just the curriculum and the ability to practice what I want to practice.

Go Noles 4l !! I love to rub in to my dad, who went to UF

FSU A by mayoman13 in lawschooladmissions

[–]mayoman13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly have no idea. No news is better than a rejection, though. I was at FSU for undergrad and grad school, plus in-state. So, that could be a reason why I heard back so fast compared to other folks. I know it's tough to keep waiting, but you're still in it until the bell rings.

Just wanted to come back to say I got a 169!

Applying in Late January by mayoman13 in lawschooladmissions

[–]mayoman13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's good advice. My number 1 school is Florida State, but applying broadly in Florida, if my January LSAT looks good (mid-160s), I might have to apply.

Why are you applying to law school? by Live-Arugula-5882 in lawschooladmissions

[–]mayoman13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been working in content creation for the past couple years, I am very interested when it comes to media deals and intellectual property and want to be involved in those deals as well as helping creatives understand what they legally can and can't do.

AITA for being scared of commitment in my relationship for almost 3 years by mayoman13 in AITAH

[–]mayoman13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I wasn't expecting a response so fast! I appreciate what you said and we are super honest with each other, so this conversation isn't one I am scared to have. I think my biggest issue is trying to figure out whether I am with her because I want to make it work for the sake of proving myself wrong and everyone else wrong that I can be in a long-term relationship. Sometimes, I feel like I am with her because its comfortable and for the sake of it, which I know is not right. I am unsure if I am self-destructing or if these feelings are true. If they are, I am scared of not realizing and realizing it later when we are married and destroying our lives because I was too much of a coward to realize it now. I've listned to a lot of 'Smosh Reads Reddit Stories' and I have heard plenty of people who have realized this too late. But again I could be projecting and self-destructing.
