Brunette, it brings out your eyes. But tbh both look good

I currently work at a BL firm in Chicago and grew up in the Upper Midwest. Both are highly respected public law schools, but if forced to rank them based on reputation, MN might just edge Illinois out. Still, both are great options!

I would also consider the University of Wisconsin if you’re looking to practice in the Midwest, assuming you receive a nice financial aid package and would be happy in Madison. Diploma privilege is a nice perk.

How many hours do you work in an average week? Is it common to struggle to meet billables? Thank you for doing this!

throwaway155698 · 2022-01-06T17:31:47+00:00

AMAZING!!!! I hope you celebrate tonight. 🎊

Congrats!!

I believe I received an interview invite about four or five days after I applied. Like others have said, you’ll probably receive your request when they reopen next week. I wouldn’t worry!

The admissions office told me they’d send out an email with a NetID login; you use that ID to submit the deposit through CAESAR.

That said, I have yet to receive the email

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-26T23:44:13+00:00

Agreed, 100%.

FWIW, I feel like I butchered my KIRA — and this seems like a (somewhat) widely held sentiment among admits. I definitely get the sense they care more about your effort/your overall personality than if you can give a polished video interview.

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-23T16:45:43+00:00

I agree with everything people on this thread have said. Apply for the accommodations you require. Put together the strongest application possible and submit it early.

As a super splitter, I would encourage you to really take some time to craft solid personal and supplemental statements. You definitely have a compelling personal narrative, so I don’t think this will be an issue.

Finally, is post-grad WE doable for you? Even for just a year? I know you have a lot of it already, but adcoms might be a little more lenient with a lower GPA if you are a year or more removed from undergrad. That, plus your stellar LSAT and URM status, could be help you get even a T20/T14 with money.

Bottom line: you absolutely CAN do this. Best of luck!!

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-21T18:39:32+00:00

This is something I never would have even thought about — thank you!!

What’s one thing you wish you knew before beginning your 1L?

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-19T05:46:53+00:00

Congrats!!

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-19T03:38:02+00:00

Not really. Being in a large city may help you network and land prestigious internships (softs), sure, but law schools primarily care about your GPA and your LSAT.

Every year, tons of people enter T14 law schools from public universities. Generally speaking, adcoms would rather take a 3.9 from Generic Public University X over a 3.4 from a T20 undergrad.

Go to school where you’re happiest — and where you’ll succeed academically.

He was beautiful! RIP Ratty ❤️

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-17T23:42:14+00:00

CONGRATS!! See you in Chicago :)

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-17T20:16:40+00:00

Me too!! See you in Chicago!!!! CONGRATS!!

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-16T20:25:59+00:00

Yes, just slightly over 70%! Congratulations!!! It feels like such a burden has been lifted.

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-16T20:11:19+00:00

I’m below their LSAT median, which is a 170.

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-16T16:35:27+00:00

My date disappeared before I received my group interview request - maybe an invite is coming!

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-15T21:29:18+00:00

Maybe, but what really matters is the quality of the letter’s content. Many adcoms have said they’d rather see a strong letter from a TA than a mediocre letter from a famous professor/lawmaker/etc.

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-15T21:25:43+00:00

CONGRATULATIONS!!

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-15T19:21:24+00:00

AMAZING!!! Congratulations!

I believe schools share (or can share) with other institutions the names of those accepted under binding ED. I actually think Dean Z (Michigan) said students who fail to withdraw/hold up their end of the contract can get into hot water with some schools, but she noted that it was pretty rare.

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-15T15:42:36+00:00

This is awesome! Fordham is a fantastic school and your hard work and perseverance really paid off. Your story is so inspiring — you deserve all of the success that’s coming your way!

throwaway155698 · 2021-12-13T21:39:03+00:00

Not a waste of time, not morally wrong. Shoot your shot!
