is it normal to be having cold feet about a law school decision? like "day before wedding" kind of jitters? For all intensive purposes I am marrying this debt for longer than most people's marriages these days

I don't know if it's normal, but I can tell you that you're not alone.

It's looking like I'll never be able to make up my mind.

I can relate. And I'd think you'd have to be abnormal to not stress out about it on occasion.

Of course. You're certainly not alone. This kind of debt is totally terrifying...

So far my finals studying this weekend has consisted of purchasing an energy drink for the morning, TLSing, and planning to show up for the exam. Beyond that is asking a little much...

This semester has existed so far in the background compared to my cycle that I don't even care anymore.

0 papers
2 in class exams- all multiple choice & t/f
2 online exams- same as in class

Last semester finals=a joke

I'm behind on my thesis. I wrote the vast majority of it in 5 days, but haven't written anything in 3-4 days. So what do I do? Call up a TLSer and tell them to come party with me.

Just need to graduate first

Ha at actually having last semester finals! Both of mine are optional

But, I have 2 lab reports, 1 oral presentation on an experiment I did, 2 exams, 1 major paper left to go. 6 things to do, 4 days.

Thankfully not me. I'm milking the hell out of that grad school grade inflation this semester.

Is it real necessary for people to call out typos? You know what they meant, there's no need to be pedantic, especially when it only detracts from a somewhat serious discussion.

As for the actual question, second thoughts are perfectly natural. Two years ago I withdrew and decided to work a bit before starting and I'm glad I did. That was the best choice in my situation, every individual needs to do their own arithmetic.

Yay! I've actually had free time to add people to the OP in a timely manner and no one is making decisions

Haha don't worry, waitlists can be a good thing! Obviously it sucks that you don't have things set at this very moment, but things will all work out and I'm sure you'll be happy with where you decide to go

Also, good luck with the waitlists obviously

Exactly.

Deposited doesn't necessarily = picked
