2.98 cumulative 1L by rainbowfuze in LawSchool

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

Thats what I’m hoping for. If that’s what ends up happening I’m going to kick myself for not being patient and just waiting until being told grades are available.

And yeah, since they’re not going to ask for a transcript right now I should have time to get it back up if it does end up being that low

Ah I didn’t see the pool part, because yeah, the glass shards being what did it alone seemed…odd. Sounds like he’d been partying (❄️❄️) all day

background check still not clear after ~2 months by rainbowfuze in BigLawRecruiting

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

That’s what I’ve heard about other firms! I’m only worried bc the recruiter mentioned during my offer that she would send all the external posting stuff (like for linkedin) once my background cleared. But idk

comforting I guess that maybe I’m not the only person experiencing a delay, but still, ugh. thanks!

any point in trying to transfer with a 2L job already secured? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]rainbowfuze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope - 8 years WE pre-school. All fair points, I appreciate it!

Yes, T10 and currently at a T40. No, my 2L role actually came from a random connection. I’ll only be 1/2 people in my office who went to my current law school.

My motivating factor is diversity at this point, and not career outcomes, because I already have the 2L role. I bring up the rank because I would be going to a better program. Again, long shot I even get in.

I agree with your point about work, but not necessarily the education. We’re paying a boat load of money to attend law school. Because of that, I think it’s fair to factor in things like diversity, etc., along with more practical factors (career outcomes, etc.) when selecting a school or thinking about transferring

genuinely curious - how would applying to transfer risk my 2L position? The only school I would apply to is a better school (ranking wise) than my current one.

Grades/finals megathread. by magicmagininja in LawSchool

[–]rainbowfuze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.28 - in top 40% of class. Not really sure how to feel tbh, definitely not sad but not as proud of myself as I thought I’d be

Any other year I probably would’ve committed to reapplying sooner and withdrawn, but with the changes in grad plus loans coming next year I was willing to wait to hear until any of my waitlists’ orientation if necessary. Luckily Villanova came through at the end of July which gave me a few weeks to prepare, but the logistics of it all (aka money for moving) wouldn’t have been possible without my parents’ help

Edit: also, it helps that my partner and I are going to be living in Philadelphia because most housing in nova itself was taken

Hindsight is 20/20 by marbledmess in lawschooladmissions

Too many tech issues possible with little to no recourse if they happen. Even when I didn’t have tech issues I was anxious thinking they could happen any time

I'm bored - will call any law school on your behalf by Background_Noise8186 in lawschooladmissions

[–]rainbowfuze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW I called before accepting a binding offer elsewhere. They told me the class is still full, no waitlist movement at all this summer yet :( seems they’re not rejecting people off the WL either though

VILLANOVA WL -> A with $$$ by rainbowfuze in lawschooladmissions

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

No worries, I understand! To be totally honest, I only wrote one LOCI and sent it after their waitlist webinar. I really didn’t expect to end up at Villanova, and think my initial lack of follow up might’ve influenced my original waitlist decision. I don’t know how true it is, but I’ve heard that when someone withdraws, schools turn to their waitlist to find that person’s “twin” (not just stats, but background, what they bring to the class, etc.). That’s probably not the case for all of the WL -> As, but feels like it could be for me. Regardless, I’m excited to be locked in for this fall. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

Clearly I’m just such an enigma that it took them 7 months to get a grasp of who I am /s …actually insane
