W.E./Softs--HCCN

Post by PopcornSeason555 » Wed Dec 11, 2019 9:35 pm

Hello. I don't know if this should go under here, so please forgive me if this is the wrong place for me to post.
This is the problem I am facing right now, and it would mean a lot to me if you can please give any insight. I graduated a couple of months ago back in September 2019, and I am still trying to find some work to boost my resume/soft factors/work experience for law school. It's December now, and I'm slowly losing hope that I will get something. Anyways, with a 175 LSAT and a 3.87 GPA, what are my chances of HCCN if I just apply early this next application cycle, considering average at best softs and good LORs and personal statement?

Thanks!

If anything could stop a 175/3.87 from getting great T6 offers, it'd be 12 months of unemployment, but you might well be fine anyway.

Get literally any job - 2020 is a campaign year, unemployment is already at historic lows, this isn't hard to figure out.

I highly recommend you keep trying and maybe even look lower for jobs. It doesn't have to be as a paralegal at a large firm or as an aide/staffer for a major politician (although those jobs are great for this kind of interval), but really anything would be better than nothing. If it helps, I had three part-time jobs during my year between college and law school---one of them was at Starbucks, and it made me a more mature person. I don't recommend a whole year or more of only doing food service, but it doesn't have to be a very impressive (or even full-time) job to help your application.
