real The Official December 2016 Waiters Group - Patience is a Virtue Forum

[Mikey]

sitting the cycle out but will be ITT either way. haven't withdrawn from december yet but will later. might take in February as my 3rd and final take seeing how things go, or i might wait until June.

for LR, i'm going to go through the 7sage CC again and drill the entire (or the majority) cambridge LR by type v2 book again (never finished it anyways and probs dont remember shit from it).

as for someone who is taking 1 year off from UG, I don't regret my decision but everyone in my peer group is either starting a career or continued in academia personally I just feel like I'm lagging behind.

but I don't regret it, a break from academia is sort of nice (then again I just work part time and exercise now other than study).

yeah, i really didn't want to sit this cycle out but it's for the best. i'd rather sit out and get a dope score than settle for low ranked school. not that there's anything wrong with going to a low ranked school, i just know that i have the potential and shit for a better score so fuck it

yeah just breathe, things are a lot different out of UG best to get that shock over with now than a K-JD would. then again I worked telesales over the summer which is 100000000000000 times worse than big law would ever be and I'm sure of it. so glad I quit that job lol.

Lmao. I'm thinking of going into sales or maybe try to get do some paralegal shit during my year off

paralegal is the way to go imo, I'm a personal trainer now because it pays the bills and gives me ample studying time. sales is the most soul Sucking deplorable job I have ever had, stay away Mikey, farrrrrr away. then again you might like biglaw after a sales stunt.

haha, word. i've worked with a judge before, twice and i really liked it even tho they had me doing a bunch of intern paperwork bullshit, but i didn't mind it. hopefully i don't hate being a paralegal.

I'm on a paralegal job hunt ATM, a lot of places want you to have a lot of experience its kinda shitty ATM.

yeah it sucks that the majority want exp. it makes no sense because how the hell is someone supposed to get exp if they can't actually get that exp lol

around my area at least there is a paralegal degree (irk) that a lot of firms want. it's dumb but I'll be sending out apps as well post December

Fortunately my area just wants you to have bachelor's degree. I don't think the paralegal degree (which I think is an associate's degree) is very popular in my area.

Question for all of you out there:

My professor told me I should not apply until I get my December LSAT score, but I spoke with the Dean of SLS (they had an informational event here with the Dean of Duke Law) and she told me I should submit all my application materials before the December LSAT score is released to get a bump on adcomm review.

What are you all doing? I have my personal statement and diversity statement ready to go, I just need someone to read it and am hoping my recommenders will give me some input on both.

I was planning on seeing how I do on test day. If I feel confidant that I did well, then I was thinking I would submit all my materials. Then again, you never really know until you see that score.

What are you all doing and what do you suggest I do?

I'm waiting til my scores come in. I'm just not comfortable submitting anything prior to getting my score, especially with the goose egg I have right now. If your prof recommends it though, you should take it into consideration. I certainly don't know the intricacies and advantages of it, I Just want my packages to be submitted all at once, no piecemeal action.

same, January 4th or whenever scores come out, my finger will be hovering over the submit button. I want everything in a nice tidy file ready, PS, LOR, Why X, etc.

You guys are right, it's better safe than sorry I guess. I will follow suit and wait for the score release.

What do you mean by goose egg? I haven't been on the forums lately because I've been in hard core study mode lol.

Pass/Fail doesn't affect your GPA, right? I would do that if thats the case.

Yeah pass fail only impacts your GPA I think if it's a fail. But a pass doesn't do shit.

Goose egg is a term that generally refers to a zero score and I'm using it in an exaggerated reference to my severely underwhelming LSAT score from September.
