I'm in NYC and am starting the process of preparing to apply for law schools. Originally I wanted to apply for '27 but will probably apply for '28.

A hybrid or online program would be amazing for me. It would be so helpful to be able to keep my part-time job, and I have 3 kids. However, I will want to sit for the NY bar and it seems that some people are denied that. What has everyone's experience been?

34F, married, 3 kids. I did 2 years of Americorps as a teacher and then worked in education for a bit. My old plan was to eventually try to go to law school for PI (I am interested mostyle in consumer protection and also tech justice.) Got married and had a kid, pivoted to software engineering to try to make more money so we could eventually buy a house. Really never loved it and am back at... wanting to do law!

My UGPA was low (3.2) and I'm studying for the LSAT now to try to make up for that. My cold diagnostic was 153. I'm planning to take the test in October.

I live in the NYC area and I feel like CUNY is really my best bet. I want to avoid serious debt at all costs and likely won't make much as a lawyer, so unless I can get a great LSAT score and get scholarship elsewhere, I'm not sure if I have many other options. Any suggestions?

Also, I know CUNY can be very selective, so any application advice would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck everyone! If anyone wants to DM me (especially fellow moms) please do!
