I want to shoot for the stars of course and get in to the best school possible. I also want to get the best quality education i can of course. But i have aspirations to be a public defender and nothing else. Do alumni networks and all that really matter?
Can anyone recommend someone who does kids haircuts and is good at cutting curly hair?
Hi, im new to learning about law school admissions and career opportunities. One thing I'm very confused about is why i see so many people saying that if you go to a regional school without name recognition you wont be able to get hired outside that region. Maybe this is true. But i am honestly so confused how it could be. People go to school, get jobs, and move around the country all the time. How is it possible that if you go to a regional school you are tied to that one area?
I'm not saying this is un-true but I am just confused. And personally, this one factor makes me question if law school would even afford me enough opportunity to be worth it. Especially because I live in the south and would like to work there.
looking for advice on realistic options. I obviously want to get into the best school possible and pay as little as possible. I didnt care about my undegrad gpa and got mostly B's. I haven't taken the LSAT yet but I consistently score 170 on practices and would hope to improve even more. I have a masters in public administration (3.7) and government work experience with contracts. I know I'll be able to secure 2-3 super strong and personal letters of rec. I'm not going to law school in hopes I get rich but at the same time I want to feel motivated by some more financial reward in the future that what i can achieve now! Is T20 or T30 a possibility for me?
I want to apply for next falls admissions cycles as non-traditional but I dont know where to begin with choosing where to apply. I didnt consider law school for long before deciding to pursue it, so I dont have a lot of background knowledge and experience with the different schools and reputations.
My Stats;
Undergraduate GPA: 3.3 BA in Psych from a regional state school.
LSAT: 170
Masters degree in Public Administration from regional state school (3.75 GPA)
Government work experience with contracts
I have 3 very strong LOR, 2 academic and 1 professional.
My undergraduate GPA sucks because I wasn't considering law school back then and I hope everything else makes up for it but I want to remain realistic. I would prefer to stay in the southeast and my top choice would be University of Florida.
Any advice is appreciated!!
Edited to add: i know probably a lot of people are against them but does anyone have thoughts or experiences with online or hybrid programs? I’m committed enough to relocate of course but I’d apply to an online program if it had a good reputation and scholarships.
I’m curious to hear where my partner and I like look like we could be from phenotypically!! We both get told certain regions a lot and compared to a lot of different people so it’s fun to hear what others think l
I’ve lived in Pensacola all my life and I am wanting to spend an entire day maybe 2 exploring mobile and fairhope. I’ve of course been to both places a handful of times for certain occasions but i have not extensively seen either one. Also I think fairhope has changed so much since I was last there as a kid. If you only had a weekend what would you suggest a semi-local do?
These are the things I like:
- Museums
- Anything historic whether it’s a cemetery, a park, a local restaurant, a neighborhood.
- local coffee
- antiquing and thrift stores
- gourmet food
- authenticity, not really interested in going to whatever’s newest and trendy.
I don’t care to see the uss Alabama or bellingrath since I’ve been to those several times!
For those of you who also had to have a "good" reason to get WFH approval what are some reasons you used? I cant use long commute because I live in the same neighborhood as my office. I just think it would improve my life to have the flexibility to stay home. I work in local government too so they're heavy on accountability.
Can anyone help me explain what makes my partners (m26) placements so difficult?
My chart is the first one and my daughters is the second. I would love to know what anyone could interpret about our mother-daughter relationship through them.
I’ve been in to astrology since I was 14 (24 now) but I’ve never gone that in depth with it and never had anyone else interpret my chart. Would love to know what others gather from it!!
At the beginning of this year I started my first job in public administration working in natural resources management. It’s not as rewarding as I imagined. I spend a lot of time alone at my desk. Any advice? Does it get better?
Im a mom of 2 (4&2) and in January I started a career after earning 2 degrees while staying home with my kids. Now Im wondering if its even worth it :( Childcare/tuition is so expensive. The weekends go by so fast. I feel like i cant get caught up at home. i dont feel like my job is very rewarding . Does it get better? I feel like its hard because im not a high earner but i wanted/want a career so bad...
