180 LSAT. 2.3 GPA.

Been on academic probation twice, failed out of college once. Long story.

Target is UF. Going to also apply to WashU and Cornell and maybe Harvard also for the meme. Stetson as a safety.

What can I do to improve my chances at any of these schools? My goal is to go to the best law school possible without ending up in life altering debt. I also plan on practicing in FL after I graduate which is why UF is a target.

I have several years of experience in the legal field and will have LORs from one of my current professors and 3 lawyers I have worked for.

I got a perfect score on the LSAT and I feel like people's expectations of me are too high now.

So, I've wanted to go to law school for many years. However, I had some shit happen during my time in undergrad and my GPA is terrible. Absolute dogshit. I graduate in Spring after 10 years in undergrad, being on academic probation twice, and failing out once.

I decided to aim for a smaller regional law school. So, about 5 months ago I realized I needed to start studying for the LSAT. Like, right the fuck now. I didn't have a job at the time so that's all I did. For 4 months the LSAT was basically the only thing in my life. I knew I needed a higher LSAT score to offset the GPA no matter where I went, so I studied my ass off.

And it paid off. I somehow got a perfect score on the LSAT. I wasn't expecting it at all. I was proud of working hard and getting the score on the LSAT so I told everyone I knew. People I hadn't talked to in a decade suddenly wanted to have dinner with me.

What I wasn't prepared for was people's heightened expectations of me. Everyone wants me to apply to the ivy leagues. You'd think this is a good problem to have, but I am scared to move out of state. Hell, I was initially going to go to a lower ranked regional law school so I wouldn't have to move AT ALL. But, I mean if I can get in and not have to go into debt... I don't even know anymore. I just don't know.

People keep saying I'm going to do great things. But in all reality, I'm a drug addict. I am not this fantastic student. My grades recently have been pretty good but I have less than a 2.5 GPA for God's sake. I can't even hold down a job for more than a year. I'm not a genius. I am really not.

This is all just so overwhelming. And I need to clean up my act before I go to law school no matter where I'm going.

I know I should be happy about this...

WashU GPA redaction question

Just started working on everything. So I've got a 180 LSAT and a 2.3 GPA. Been on academic probation twice and failed out once. Long story short: abusive relationship. PTSD. Kept trying to work full time.

I know I can redact the GPA but do I have to include the academic probation/disqualification somewhere in the app?

Is there a way to turn database entries into Outlook calendar events

I am very new to Notion. I was wondering if there was a way to sync a notion database with an outlook calendar. I'm trying to make a schedule for employees and they currently just use Outlook calendar events, and I don't want to change too much, but I want to be able to edit the schedule in Notion.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone noticed it's harder to swim after being on T for a while?

I've been on T for about 3 years. I hadn't gone swimming in many years due to dysphoria. Well I went to the springs the other week and I noticed that it's a lot more difficult to keep myself afloat. I was really struggling, and I used to be a relatively strong swimmer. Did I get denser? Is this something that happens to other people?

How to know if I'm detrans or if it's the OCD?

I'm FtM. I did detransition after socially transitioning for a while as a teen but retransitioned and started HRT since then and have been out for about 6 years now. I have OCD. I know there's such a thing as transgender OCD. I guess I'm just worried that I'm trans in the first place because of the OCD. Or maybe I am questioning it because of the OCD and I actually am trans? I dunno I consider myself not fully binary but it's just easier as a dude. How do I tell the difference?

How long do they hold onto remains in FL when they can't find the NOK?

So this is in Orange County FL. I looked up the statutes and it says they hold them for 48 hours and then give them to the anatomical board at UF but I'd imagine something happens to them after that. I would assume they get cremated but how long do they hold onto those remains??

Long story short my parents next door neighbor died and her son was in the hospital after a stroke at the time and still is, he probably doesn't even understand that his mom died. My parents were looking through the mail they'd collected for next door and found a letter addressed to friends/family of the decedent from the Orange County Government so they opened it. It asked them to contact the Public Burials and Cremations department within 10 days, but the letter was dated a month ago 😬

Is there an online database of obituaries somewhere?

I live in the US.

My parents' next door neighbor died. The government is asking us if we know of anyone in her family. She does not have any family in the US and I have reason to believe that her family is in Panama. I want to see if I can trace her family by searching obituaries. Is there somewhere that collects obituary data from the different newspapers (like we have legacy.com in the US)?

Thanks in advance.

OCD meds that don't cause sexual dysfunction?

I have OCD. I've taken several SSRIs before and they have been very damaging to my relationship because of the sexual dysfunction. Are there any medications for OCD that do not cause this?

Is it worth retaking my first two PTs?

I am running out of new test material. About 2 months ago I took PT140 and PT153 within a couple days of each other as cold initial diag, but never reviewed them. Would it be worth retaking them?

New practice tests?

How often do they release new practice tests? When was the last time they released a practice test?

Sincerely, someone who's running out of RC sections.

How to get that final bit of RC?

I'm consistently getting -0 to -1 on LR but my RC I'm getting -4 to -6 on the 140-150s series PTs. I'm trying to get as close to 180 as possible (garbage GPA) and on my most recent PT that I took today my RC brought me down to a 174.

I seem to have the most trouble with author's opinion/implied. What is the best way to work on this?
