I only eat tacos with cheese on them because they are tastier. I met a guy at a party last night who is going to Yale law in the fall, he wants to be an environmental lawyer and he currently works for one of the big environmental nonprofit groups. He's the only 0L interested in environmental law that I haven't tried to dissuade from going to law school.

I apologize in advance but I am going to keep my question fairly general because I don't want any goon detectives bothering my relative. I have an uncle who is a dean in a completely unrelated department at a T14 school. What I want to know is how much of an impact will this connection have when it comes time to apply. When I emailed him all he said was that when I submit my application, let him know. I didn't want to bother him so I left it at that. Realistically, if it were me applying like any other person I would probably get wait listed at best, and thats purely because I am Mexican. Once again sorry this is so vague. edit: I have a 3.4 GPA and the practice tests that I have been taking make me think I will score in the 168-172 range newberstein fucked around with this message at 07:43 on May 19, 2010 |

I know someone who's in T3/4 law school and after reading this thread I am worried for him. He's got a few internships under his belt and is a great student, but I mean I'm sure lots of you who are looking for work had the same.

Grinding out those last 30 footnotes was awful. At one point, I was having self-referential conversations with myself in them. thing. It was mandated I submit it to journals. I submitted it to FIU law review, something like Albany journal of science and technology, and some foreign one. The worst journals I could think of. I did not bluebook a thing. I win at law school.

newberstein posted:I am Mexican. quote:a 3.4 GPA quote:the 168-172 range Unless if your uncle somehow has major pull with somebody that matters in the law school, he's a non-issue. Doesn't really matter, since you're doing just fine on your own. If I were you, I'd think long and hard about why I wanted to be a lawyer. And then I would make sure that that's actually what lawyers do. And then I'd go to the highest ranked T14 that would give me a (nearly) full ride. Just don't gently caress up your LSAT and it's entirely possible. Good luck.

TyChan posted:Which states are you taking? I've had a couple of friends and relatives take 2 bar courses during the summer and I hear that if one of the states is only testing you on MBE knowledge or MBE subject areas, it's not quite that bad. quote:I've found that the "secret" of making bar preparation less hellish is to be consistent. Procrastination might have been sustainable during law school because you could make an outline, but there is just too much memorization and test-practice necessary to wait until the last minute and comfortably maintain sanity. The people I know really getting frazzled by the process were the ones who sat on their asses until June. HooKars posted:Does it really matter? The MBE tests black letter law, and it's the same everywhere, unless you're just complaining about having to get a hotel room for a night.
