/self??

What did you decide?

Decided to retake. And reapply next year. Didnt realize how much law schools give scholarships when you apply super early with decent or better numbers. Taking the LSAT in Oct and started studying like crazy. Retaking Testmasters course last time I took it was when I was in college 2 years ago, dont remember anything + I took the one month course and rushed everything and didnt take the actual LSAT until 2 years later.

I hope the schedule will force me to study harder, I am very determined and hope it all works out way better this time. Thanks guys for all the advice, i was very conflicted. But you are all right, not worth it.

Cant be that bad, just not for me, so much more to gain with retaking and trying again for next year, versus, going to a school that I feel would be a waste for me. Just try to do very well, stay focused and you should be ok, I hope!

Good Luck anyway!!!

This is like a first!

Aim for GSU. I'm sure that you can bump up your score enough to get in there if you study like you intend to. It's a good school, and it's in Atlanta like you want. Good luck!

I don't know where your house is, but hell, UGA would be great if you can snag it.

As I was reading through these posts this I thought it was the OP talking and my heart literally sank. I felt so bad for his family.... You read a few posts and you start to like the OP, you know how it goes.

Anyway, I was very happy when I figured out that the OP had actually decided not to go to Mercer, and to retake and reapply. You made the right choice OP!

As for sc24ever... best of luck to you....

Credited. I was thinking in terms of close to the actual city and a bit easier to achieve, LSAT wise. But UGA is definitely a step up if you can swing it.

Thank You

I would apply to GSU and if I can get in, sure. But I attended GSU for undergrad and really dont like it there, UGA is soo like my dream school right now! lol

I dont know if you are familiar with the Atlanta area, but I live in Lawrenceville. I would prefer commuting to UGA because eventhough its a lil farther, I would be driving against traffic, so would be much easier than commuting downtown. Because I was waitlisted at UGA, I do feel like there might be a chance for me to get accepted if I do a lil better on the LSAT and apply early enough

Awww, thanks. I really did feel like everyone was genuinely being honest and giving the best advice that they would give to someone they knew. I can honestly tell you that if I hadnt posted on here, I WOULD HAVE GONE TO JOHN MARSHALL FOR SURE! So thanks TLS.

[jennylynn]

I'm from Lawrenceville area. That drive to Athens wouldn't be bad at all. About an hour, but traffic shouldn't be bad at all so that stressor wouldn't be present.

Yup!!

[divinelygolden]

Just curious, Did you make into either Law School?

JMLS isn't bad, a lot of the hate here isn't justified cause all those posters go to t-14 with money, but they are a tiny % overall, good luck there

If JMLS isn't bad, then there isn't a bad law school in the country. Both of the JMLS schools are festering, steaming, disgusting, sticky, drippy, infested piles of shit. Awful life decision to go there. Your "rah rah, toilet law schools aren't so bad" nonsense is getting old, seriously. Also, most of the people who posted ITT don't go to T14s. HTH

I would be interested in hearing an update from OP though, if he comes back.

Good choice. With job prospects like they are I wouldnt consider going to either a good investment. Keep the study up and good luck!

WUSTL with money is close enough, JMLS is like an average law school, nothing bad about it, if u describe it as so terrible, then u'd run out of words of describing truly bad schools

[romothesavior]

No, WUSTL is an above average law school. Hell, most of my friends are unemployed. How do you think it is at JMLS? Anything outside T50 is generally awful for job prospects. JMLS is awful. Truly awful. Once you go thru a year or two of lawl school and see the true market, you'll understand just how bad these toilets are.

You're wasting your 1s and 0s on that troll, Romo. Look at his 'tar, I'm pretty sure it's of a troll. Also:

whittier has a five star review on yelp though, its students seem to be content

hastings, which is considered almost as good as Boalt

ABA accredited these schools, thus proving they can indeed provide quality education, nothing wrong with those schools

there are no bad law schools really, even tier 4 and unaccredited law school students can have fulfilling experiences and a satisfactory job afterwards, it's all about your own perception

Ron Paul

And to show that he truly knows nothing about law schools:

there r always hot girls in law school in your class, get one of those instead

[Honeysuckle]

Jah'rakal actually is the name of a troll warlord from Warcraft III...but anyway, although his trolling is blatant to you and I, there's a chance that some clueless 0L might take his inane statements seriously, so Romo is doing a favor by calling him out on it. Unfortunately the general public thinks JD=golden ticket.
