Dropped Out Twice

Post by john1990 » Thu Dec 10, 2015 4:50 pm

I have attended and dropped out of 2 law schools without receiving any grades. Will this hurt my admissions chances? Will I stand a better chance of being readmitted to one of the two schools I dropped from?

I think the reasons for dropping out will make all the difference. If you had legit reasons (eg., reoccurring health concerns) then I don't see it having a negative impact on admission chances.

Writing an addendum to address the drop outs is probably advisable.

I dropped out once to take a job and another time because I was accepted at another school as an incoming 1L. However, I missed the beginning of classes due to a hospital stay

You should try and get in contact with a professional admissions coach. Your situation sounds very complicated, and you will likely need more than just some junior associates and 3L(OL)s' educated guesses.

Do you think that taking a couple years off might help improve my admissions chances
