If it's affecting your mental health and not what you signed up for GTFO. Lots of people leave TFA before their two years because it sucks in general and I doubt it will have any impact in admissions. If it does come up in an interview you can just explain why you left.

Seems like this TFA assignment is not a good match. Might be best to move on. Shouldn't affect law school admissions if you explain your dissatisfaction in a less accusatory manner & more as a poor fit.

Info on stats/where you want to go to law school?

PM'd your response.

regardless of your lsat score berk is probably not going to happen with that GPA, just so you don't get your hopes up.

Your mental health is worth more than that, so I would get out. I would also keep it on my resume, otherwise there's going to be a gap of over a year that may look odd to Ad Comms. I don't think you need to write an addendum. If you're asked about it, just explain in a professional way that it wasn't a good fit for you.

If I were you, I would start looking for another job (maybe still in a nonprofit/ed type field, if possible). It will give you more depth and you'll have something to talk about during your admissions interviews.

I don't see it being an issue at all. I know many TFAers (S/O included) and am familiar with the extreme emotional duress it places on its participants. Quit, score high on the LSAT and you'll be fine.

If your mental health is an issue, I'd hold off on attending law school until you're ready to deal with all the law school stress/bullshit.

Also, why do you think the administration is specifically shitty towards people of color as opposed to shitty in general? I'm not saying you're wrong or lying obviously, just curious.

It is my understanding that you are employed by the school itself right? Why even mention that you got hired through TFA?

hey OP,

it shouldn't harm you at all. I am also a 1st year CM right now. fortunately i realized at the beginning of the year that this was a shit program, and i was able to get my apps in this cycle (i took the LSAT during undergrad). i've had a nice cycle, nabbed good money in the T14 as well as CCN admission. in other words, I have performed about as well as my numbers predicted i would.

the only schools that asked about the TFA thing also admitted me. get out, move forward with no regrets/guilt.
