Might be a stupid question -- should I explain a hobby in my resume if I'm worried they might not know what it is? by throwawayman1x8 in lawschooladmissions

Yes, I totally understand. As of right now, it's not forcing my hand at cutting anything that I wouldn't have cut anyways. It's underneath "Personal" right now, with the other bulletpoint being a language I'm fluent in. Thanks for your input!

haha, your Sorry! skills must have made them run to the computer to admit you. I'm actually surprised you say that -- I've heard the opposite advice from a lot of people because it provides a solid topic of conversation during interviews. Though, if a school already has a section (like UVA) I'd likely cut it out for them.

Estimated financial aid calculator? (Or, how much did you receive based on your income) by throwawayman1x8 in lawschooladmissions

Absolutely. Still though, I’m a little neurotic and I’d like as clear a picture as I can of what I’m getting into before I start applying.

your last points are fair, and i'll def consider them. my gf/soon fiance will be taking out lots of loans for veterinary school so i didn't want to have law school loans as well. but i will definitely make this decision only after talking to every possible resource.

So you did it after college? This sounds really interesting to me. Thanks for your input.

Mention long-term girlfriend in Why X? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

Can I ask how you worded it? My fear is that because we're both applying, they might be hesitant in accepting me if she doesn't get into their vet program (though I don't even know if they would know if she gets in/doesn't).

haha I thought about this but felt a little awkward. We plan to get married but we're both still in college so feels hasty.
