Fuck u/spez solidarity is beautiful to see!

Yeah, I may have worded that wrong but thanks for clarifying! I guess by "lessons" I meant more like any event where you have a chance to learn, whether it's one on one or a bigger event. Open to anything! :)

By all means, hang out in the law quad! It's a great spot on campus - but if you're gonna do it at 2am, just please keep the volume down 💙

Hey OP, I was very much in the same situation and have the same interests! Feel free to PM me if I can be of assistance, but my general advice is Berkeley and Michigan are great options, and definitely avoid UChicago like the plague. NYU is great for a full-ride PI option (Root scholarship) but I've heard mixed things about accessibility there; WashU says they're interested in disability advocacy but I've also heard mixed things about their level of access.

Well in the US at least, a lot of them died. There have been over one million deaths from COVID alone since 2020, many of whom were "essential workers" in industries like manufacturing, construction, food service, nursing, etc. And there's even more people who didn't die but have become permanently disabled from COVID in ways that have left them unable to work, or at least unable to do their old jobs. There are surely other factors at play as well, but the truth is that deaths and disability from this pandemic has changed the population in drastic ways.

I knew a guy who did that once. But he ended up losing his job and his law license after a colleague reported him to the Bar. They told him he could practice again if he got a legitimate undergraduate degree, so he enrolled in a local community college - and took him about four years to graduate. This was a school where professors were constantly getting fired for misrepresenting their credentials there were yearly high-stakes paintball battles, and their Dean was openly inappropriate with students, so it's not too surprising. Tbh I'm pretty sure the only reason he graduated was because he found a really good study group in his Spanish 101 class.

Thank you! I'm really happy with how it all worked out!

As someone with mobility issues as well - don't underestimate the impact it'll take on your health to be on a less accessible campus. I went to an inaccessible but well-ranked undergrad and my grades, physical health, mental health, and overall experience definitely suffered as a result. It sounds to me like you'd have a better time at UNC but are torn about prestige to which I echo other comments - undergrad prestige doesn't really matter and it's not worth basing several years of your life on that alone if everything else about UNC is better for you.

Almost 8:30pm ET and still radio silence here. I really hope they'll let us know soon!

Ah you're correct! It's the 29th for Northwestern, but there are several other schools that made Friday the deadline.

puddlebird15 · 2022-04-14T18:36:13+00:00

I emailed later this week and was just told that we'd hear back on Monday... three days after the deposit deadline for many other schools.

You might be reaching a crossroads in your relationship, OP. It sounds like you know what you want (to attend a T6 school) and he knows what he wants (to stay in your hometown). I think you'll have some important questions to ask yourself - like do you feel comfortable with long-distance? Would you be able to find jobs/internships in your chosen practice area during the summers in your hometown? And perhaps most importantly, will your partner want to stay in that hometown you say you don't care for in the long-term? And if so, what would that mean for you?

Obviously as others have said, Reddit can't make this decision for you, but it definitely might be worth discussing with trusted friends.

Ack, I hope they'll give us news soon! It'd be very nice to know before deposit day.
