I don't know what ppl are talking about but it seems to me that if you have a legitimate reason for dropping out (make one up) you can pull this off.iShotFirst wrote:My grades have been poor (havent received them all yet though) and my wife is having a very hard time settling in the area and getting a job. And so, I've thought a bit about dropping out.
My question is, if you drop out of law school, is it possible to apply to another one and get in there?
Are schools not going to take me after they see my answer to "Have you attended any other law school?"
What if I dropped out right now, and applied to other schools in order to start in August of THIS year? Is this just not acceptable? Would an addendum with my reasons (focus on family reasons) help?
If a school asked for my law school transcript from my current school, they would only see one (below median) grade as the rest of the classes are year-long.
I might get some flak for this but just trying to figure out all my options and I couldn't find a comparable thread.
I look forward to your future disbarment proceedings. They should be entertaining.UnTouChablE wrote:it seems to me that if you have a legitimate reason for dropping out (make one up)
lol, schools are in it for the money, its up to you to find your way in. The difference between 166 and 170 is a couple of questions and yet both students face drastically different prospects in terms of law schools, that is not fair either.vanwinkle wrote:I look forward to your future disbarment proceedings.

Clearly you don't apply the same philosophy to the English rules of grammar.UnTouChablE wrote:lol, schools are in it for the money, its up to you to find your way in.

Am just trying to help people get theirs and stop playing strictly by the rules law schools set-up to help themselves, not students (get the most money and the best students). Bend them to your advantage is my opinion; stretch, bend or contort, as long as you don't break any rules I think its fair game.
Its an internet forum, look around, "rules of grammar" are routinely broken around these parts. Sorry I don't have the time scrutinize my every post because unlike you, I dont think ppl will think am stupid cause I write funny. dumbassjdhonest wrote:Clearly you don't apply the same philosophy to the English rules of grammar.UnTouChablE wrote:lol, schools are in it for the money, its up to you to find your way in.

Well I think it's safe to say I've found my new least favorite poster.UnTouChablE wrote:Its an internet forum, look around, "rules of grammar" are routinely broken around these parts.

iShotFirst wrote:Thanks for the advice from everyone. My main reason is my family's difficulty in settling in the area I am in (my wife's family/parents are immigrants and I am in small Southern city). The grades are an additional concern. I'm sure its easy to imagine how if your family is having difficulty it is tougher to get the best grades (although no excuses, I could have worked harder and will if I end up staying). Also I don't have loans, just paid for first sem so far which is pretty low, and I could easily get work with my old company who just started a massive project (ending in May or June).
So there are a few concerns all coming together, although admittedly the grades brought all this into stark relief.
