My 16 Law School Decisions | Undergrad Stats | Where I'm Going To Law School 

i'm sorry for your plight my friend but i was once in your shoes before i was recommended to Mr Thomas and thats how i passed LSAT

I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔

I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing the LSAT she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..

Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay you have to back it up with smartness🤓, I think your cousin understood that perfectly

His info

That's a big reason why I started this channel, and specifically posted this video. I felt so disheartened for the longest time because I really thought I wouldn't be able to get into any law school without absolutely stellar stats, but there's hope!

5 months in, 176, 3.97 and I can confidently tell you it doesn’t always go the way you expect even with high stats ☹️

U were a STEM major so they probably cut u some slack on the GPA. Bio is signficantly harder than a major like poli-sci​@@alinaatlaw

Much like with undergrad decision videos, I understand the value of watching a variety of students.

Thank you

Glad it was helpful, and best of luck on your application this fall!

Thank you so much!

Absolutely! That is a great idea :)

Thank you so much!

Best of luck to you!

Yes of course! More than happy to answer any questions I can :) and thank you!

How did you discuss the drop in grades? Was it in your addendum? I also had a drop in grades in the beginning but deans list in my last two years. Thank you in advance!!

I hear you lol, like I said pretty much every school was a reach school for me! Very grateful to have been accepted to so many schools, especially as it gave me options to choose from.

Happy to help! I am not sure what the 25th percentile was when I applied but I do not think it has changed much within the last year!

Thanks for this comment! It is so hard to say, since every school does admissions differently, but I think what will help the most is writing a supplemental essay on your GPA and perhaps some factors that attributed to it (at least that's what I did). Best of luck with your applications!

It's been a little bit since I've checked but I belief on your CAS reports where the GPA is shown that is the calculated GPA.

I had one school reach out for an optional informational interview, but no other interviews!

So in undergrad I did research in neuro oncology and then post grad I was a MA in cardiology, still quite a switch up to law! I go more in depth in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-62QlN8Ll90k.html but basically I realized that medicine really wasn't my calling, and that I could still have a big impact in law!

@@alinaatlaw That’s amazing - I only asked because I had the same exact experience. Took the MCAT, scored well but was a sick kid and frustrated with the system. Starting law school this fall 🤘🏼

Absolutely! I think that every point increase you can get helps!

I did receive scholarships from some schools, but at the University of Colorado I did not qualify for any merit based scholarships this first year. I'll be applying this spring though to hopefully get some scholarships for 2L and 3L.

They are not “several hundred dollars” each, they are typically $50-$85 max and many schools have no fee at all. On top of that, many schools automatically waive the fee if you express interest, and fee waivers are also not hard to get at some schools just by asking nicely. Additionally, it’s not a “complete waste” to apply to many schools, because it increases your chances of getting good scholarships, which you can then either use to weigh your options or use as a bargaining chip to try to get a better scholarship from your school of choice. It’s likely that most people who clicked on this video are interested in going to law school in at least some capacity so please don’t spread misinformation like this ❤️

@@MadiBooMonkey Not any misinformation. Simple common sense. There is a reason why most law students, are sons and daughters of already successful and wealthy lawyers. Because money is no object to them. This young lady has applied to several prestigious law schools. Probably looking at $ 80 to 100 thousand a year, or more. The student loans will be astrononic. Plus transportation to and from school, if it's far away. Also housing, and other living expenses, educational supplies, entire wardrobe of new clothes, computer, phone and Internet service, Starbucks coffee a few times a day, gym membership, hair and beauty treatments, tanning salon, scented candles, bar visits, etc. The basic necessities of life for a young female law student, of course.

Thank you so much for this comment! I can promise you that my family is not made of money lol, and while applying for law school can be expensive, there are so many different ways to finance it. Just as you said so many schools will give you fee waivers, but many people don't know that it's as easy as asking for it!

Thank you for this comment, because it gives the the chance to address a few things. I do not come from money, neither of my parents are lawyers, nor are any of my family members. I paid for my applications on my own, and I will be paying for my law school tuition and cost of living on my own. I applied to prestigious law schools because I had the incredible opportunity to attend a prestigious undergraduate university through the help of generous scholarships and loans. As I explained in the video, there are so many ways to finance law school applications as well as the cost of attending law school, especially for lower income students. As a first generation law student, it is so important for me to share my journey to help the next generation of lawyers navigate this profession who also don't have people in their life to help them through it. I am so incredibly fortunate and thankful to be attending law school, but it is something I have worked hard for and do not take lightly. Putting all that aside, it is up to each person to decide how they want to allocate their budget, and what is most important to them, whether they come from money or not.

Well, that's all wonderful. But it doesn't take too much to figure out that most people in law school, are the sons and daughters of wealthy lawyers, who went to the same law school. They want to keep it a private club, among themselves
