楼主， 冒昧一下，

第一，最好不要和美国人说生育小孩的事了，因为在这种情形下人人会看不起你的，就是文化差异吧

第二，你所提出的那些学校都挺烂的，我建议你再考一次。

第三，在美国，一年9万美金收入没多少钱。付不上法学院的学费

祝你好运

what is mail order bride? i dont get other people either. i'm 24 yrs old female and i'm going to get married this year. i want to plan out when to give birth to babies, whether before or after law school. and if i have to retake the lsat as most suggests on this board, i might as well just have a child this year rather than after law school, when i would be 29 yrs old. it's just this simple i dun understand why people are having issue with this? is it because those who reply are all men? or that Chinese and American have different ideas about when is the best time to give birth to babies? in China people want to give birth to babies before 30 yrs old.

Sounds like your husband has a good job, enough to support both of you. Why dont you just have a child and start your family first and go to law school later? You may decide you dont even want to do it. Sounds like you are newly married and thinking of starting a family, why instantly destroy your savings by going to law school? That will take all of your husbands money and you wont be able to save for the future if he has to pay for you to go to law school.

I would say have a baby, or wait a bit, but just have him pay for you to go to community college and get a useful, practical degree for a lot less stress and a LOT LOT less money.

哎呀我就是不了解情况所以想多问问，越问越糊涂。我明白你的意思了。其实不想再考的一个重要因素是男朋友不想和我分开太久。我目前在上海工作，再考一年也意味着继续长距离恋爱的马拉松。我如果单身，我肯定就再考一年了。另外，我一直以为9万够的，因为学费也就5，6万嘛，实在不是很明白。

mail order bride = 邮寄新娘。

你看，你不听我的，人人都在嘲笑你啦

上bbs就是来被拍砖的阿，被嘲笑有什么好怕的。我没有别的信息渠道，就是来听听别人的意见。不过你的意思我懂，有些事情和他们扯不清是吧。呵呵：）

远距恋爱当然很难受，但他爱你的话，应该能等着你吧。

法学院学费差不多15万美金，一共

还有另一个卖点：lsat成绩越高，奖学金也越多

笑。哎。。那又是一年啊，都老了。纠结。

24岁，老了屁

上海女生要26岁才成熟了吧

你好像是个家里有钱得人，不过你应该认真了解一下美国的法律市场，然后再做这个法学院决定。如果家里愿意给你提供经济保障，让你圆这个法学院梦的话，你可以选择一个很差的法学院去上，花二十万美元，拿一个美国文凭但是你必须清楚，美国现在的法律市场非常差劲，律师需求率远远低于供应率。所以如果你想出来有个好工作的话，必须上排名前20名左右的学校以上，就这样也不一定。你好像很不了解法学和法律市场的行情，不是只要有文凭就荣华富贵的，必须上很好的大学才有希望。LSAT167分以上再看，不要荒废你男友的血汗钱买一个一文不值的破烂文凭。

恩我大概知道市场不好，但是看学校数据就业率又似乎还行。不过你说的都很中肯我会仔细考虑的。谢谢

千万别去NYLS.去JDUNDERGROUND.COM 看看NYLS/HOFSTTTRA 毕业生做什么样的工作.我劝你先读别的专业.我有一个朋友现在在NYU读教育学.他和我说NYU教育学不需要GRE.你看看别的学校在加州那边有没有同样的规则.

wow my chinese is getting really bad. sigh i guess that s what happens when you are an ABC.

这个东西不是很好明白的，我已经研究法学院快两年了，法学院本身网站上找信息的一个很大问题是他们都是为盈利而招生的，所以网站上只会说好话，就业率高不代表他们的学生全部都当大律师去了。可能百分之九十九就业率代表他们所有学生中回复他们调查的人只有百分之十，但是这些回复者们99％有工作，也可能是99％的人都“就业”了，但是都在麦当劳卖汉堡，那也是就业。

请听我衷心的教诲：你所列出的几个法学院依一个151基本上是没有保证可以进的，而且进了，基本上没有可能在毕业后得到高等律师工作。我不是在吓唬你，真的是不值啊。我进了好几个前十名的大学现在还在担心就业前景，还可能不上。

希望你能够认真考虑，细细研究，这个决定是影响一生的，不是随便就可以做的。你如果真想当律师，大律师，必须上一等大学，而且得保证分数高。

祝你好运。

1) Don't say that having babies is a good thing, because Americans will look down on you due to cultural differences.
2) All the schools on your list suck. You should retake.
3) $90k is a shitty salary that won't cover your tuition.

Reply:
I don't want to retake, because it would prolong our LDR and I want to be together. And I thought $90k was a really high salary that would easily pay for tuition. What am I missing here?

Reply:
LDR is tough but he should be able to wait for you. Tuition is $150k. A higher LSAT would get you scholarships.

Reply:
A year is still a year. I'm getting old.

I know the cultural difference, but regardless having a baby and going to school sucks. Also, getting your first career type job and having a baby isn't easy either.... Working long hours or having school full time does not leave much time to take care of your child well enough or spend enough time with the child.

Just think of it this way, for Chinese people, children are a given, everything else happens with the perfect understanding that children WILL be had, and had as soon as possible. Exclude this from consideration, it's not about yourself, it's about the children.

adopt a haitian, didnt you people populate the world enough already. (by you people i mean lawyers)

Just think... Chinese LAWYERS. (I'm Chinese, so I can say this)

Um... I am well aware of cultural differences. I grew up abroad actually and English is sort of my second language. Anyway.. If it is about the children, I think OP will realize that having a young child during law school is a very bad idea. If anyone else thinks that having a newborn during law school or at the start of a big firm career is a good idea, they are nuts! I know this happens all the time, but it isn't the best scenario to have for the parent and for the child.
