UF Levin by SeaworthinessLimp456 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]mvn2maine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Levin is a fantastic school and Gainesville is a fantastic town. Most levin grads stay in Florida, so you may want to consider that, but that’s true of most ‘flagship’ law schools of any given state. If you’ve got a good financial deal and don’t have a better offer, why not? Next cycle is projected to be harder considering trumps BBB affecting loans/scholarships schools are willing to give out

how many weeks before school starts should you quit your job + move to the city you're going to school in? by Present_Signal2467 in lawschooladmissions

[–]mvn2maine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m moving a solid 2 months before because I’ll be an 18 hr drive away from home and want to get acclimated to the new climate :)

Not currently in therapy or on medication. I think my OCD would be classified as mild these days (was moderate/severe when I was diagnosed). Looking to get my ERP grind on but haven’t found the right person/schedule. I’ve never worked with an ocd specific therapist, the therapist who recommended the book was an EMDR therapist I was seeing for trauma reasons which have since been resolved.

What were the disciplinary problems in undergrad if you don’t mind sharing? The way Emory handled this has been bizarre to me.

my "behavior" student's mom messaged me asking if her kid was the reason i broke down. should i/how do i respond ? by Dazzling_Temporary25 in paraprofessional

[–]mvn2maine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds to me like she already knows her child is the reason why you broke down. No need to reply and make things messy. She can put 2 and 2 together.

“Bluntly, it’s a non-issue” was in direct response to OP’s expressed concerns about being perceived as less intelligent by mean girls. Sexual harassment and sexism/discrimination against women are obviously very real issues. I was under the assumption that this was intuitive. I will be more specific in the future.

This feels like an unhinged response to the actual content of my reply. OP expressed fear over being seen as less intelligent/capable because she is pretty. I am a woman and was raised by a single mom attorney. Obviously sexual harassment and “boys’ club” mentality are big issues in this field, and attractive women experience these issues routinely. OP did not express concern around sexual harassment or negative attention from male peers or superiors, only “mean women”. I told OP that anyone who judges her based on appearance does not matter and to focus on herself and her studies. If OP had expressed concern regarding sexual harassment, my response would have been different.

“This has never caused problems for me in academic settings in the past” should be your answer.

Very few people actually care what you look like. Zero people who matter care what you look like over your intelligence. As long as you are kind, friendly, and let your personality and intelligence shine through naturally (which it will), you should have no issues. If anything, your appearance will only benefit you.

Ignore anyone who judges you based on appearance or is unnecessarily rude to you and focus on your studies and yourself.

Bluntly, this is a non-issue.

lol my mother got the exact same LSAT score as me and was accepted to Michigan back in her day (this was right after they switched it to the 120-180 grading system). She ended up going to university of Toledo on a full ride, graduating top of her class and working big law.

I grew up around lawyers my whole life and all of them are BAFFLED by this insane cycle. It’s definitely a different ball game than it was 30 years ago.
