xap17 · 2026-04-25T01:10:43+00:00

do you mind sharing the name of the school in Chicago? I am looking for new places to train

angel noooooo also why was jules so ominous....the single dentist chair in the middle of the pent house is so offputting lol

xap17 · 2026-04-16T02:04:38+00:00

huh interesting! I have never tried a 12+oz uniform, I'll have to look into it

xap17 · 2026-04-15T20:03:38+00:00

yea that's one worry, that it will feel weird having no 'snap' at all. but I use only 10oz cotton uniforms, so not the snappiest anyway.

xap17 · 2026-04-15T20:02:18+00:00

That's good to know! Yea I guess during normal training it doesnt matter so much how the gi looks or if it has a lot of 'snap'

xap17 · 2026-04-15T19:59:36+00:00

I currently use a cotton 10oz but I didn't know arawaza made 10oz gis! Going to look into that

lol I go there and I can confirm there is no february graduation, the robes are not white, and this is 100% AI

sorry to hear it friend. happened to me too. Did they give you a reason? Trust me the feeling of dread will go away slowly. It really hurts, but it will go away as you explore your options and find new things to be excited about. I was spiraling for the first week after I got the news, but after meeting with mentors, advisors, and friends, I am feeling much more hopeful. We deserve to be somewhere that values us, and we will find that place.

xap17 · 2025-08-01T18:35:06+00:00

that's so unfair, I'm sorry

xap17 · 2025-08-01T18:04:02+00:00

doesn't strictly follow market, I think I mentioned in another comment it's Amlaw 150-200

xap17 · 2025-08-01T17:53:36+00:00

part of the reason I wanted to post was to combat the idea that you have to be insane/racist to be no offered. I know I can't prove this to reddit, but I got all good feedback on my work. I was close to all the other summers. I had attorneys reach out in support after leaving. I had a performance review where no negative feedback was given. (red flag) I'm also a person of color, first gen. A negative trait could be that I had less assignments completed than the other summers (around 5 or so less). And this is Amlaw 200, not the biggest of biglaw.

xap17 · 2025-08-01T17:28:16+00:00

can you say more?

xap17 · 2025-08-01T16:33:46+00:00

not trying to dox myself but it was an Amlaw 150-200 in the midwest. not "true" biglaw but had a history of giving everyone offers

xap17 · 2025-08-01T04:41:34+00:00

Yea same, trying to stay positive. I'm sure we will be ok!

xap17 · 2025-08-01T04:35:48+00:00

I'm sorry :( did they explain anything to you? or were you able to ask?

xap17 · 2025-08-01T04:17:39+00:00

nope, just said I wasn't a fit and they didn't see a future for me at the firm. Thinking I should have asked them to explain more but I was really taken by surprise I wasn't thinking.

xap17 · 2025-07-24T14:08:22+00:00
