Help me out, in quite a pickle

Post by chuckz1487 » Sun Jun 05, 2011 12:40 pm

Hey guys, first time posting and im sure ppl have posted like this a million of times but i gotta customize this one to me. I just grad undergrad with a 3.1/149. nothing amazing but i realized that and have accepted i wont be getting to anything amazing. however my choices now which i have been accepted to are Pheonix School of Law, Florida Coastal, Charlotte School of Law, Texas Southern, and University of Arkansas Bowen.

I know these arent excellent schools but what would you all recommend i do, which would you all chose? i would not be willing to retake the lsat just cuz if i have to sit out a year i would rather go teach abroad and i knwo myself i wouldnt come back to law. so of those choices what would you all do..... thanks guys, once again i know reading this posts are boring as hell. but i need the help. thanks fellas.

I like pickles. Arkansas, therefore, is the correct answer. For confirmation, you may want to start a poll.

Sounds like you should teach abroad. If you're still interested in pursuing law after a year or so, then have another go at the LSAT. Personally, I applied to law school, because I'm interested in law more than anything else. If I thought that I would be almost as happy doing something else that didn't involve the nightmare that is debt+bad employment prospects, I would have been on it in a heartbeat.

Arkansas, in my opinion, is clearly the best option if you have in-state tuition; if not, then work abroad & retake the LSAT to create better options for yourself.

as much as i would love to teach abroad, i see my future in the law profession. although my school choice might suffer due to my undergrad actions, in the current state i am in, i need to chose one of these schools and make the commitment to do all 3years. does anyone have any input? and please make it relating to law school :)

The best option would be to teach abroad and not come back to law.

If you must do law, go to Arkansas.

I called flame because the way the OP was written, not because s/he is planning to attend a TTTT.

If I were OP, I'd choose to teach abroad rather than graduate from TTTT with massive debt. The former actually sounds like it would quite be satisfying.

If this is true, then why do you want to be a lawyer. It makes no sense. If you can convince yourself to not go, you should do that
