@APBookninja whew, that is rough! Honestly, going to school full-time was something that deterred me before I knew I had a part-time option because I knew it would not be realistic. Miami seems so far away, would you have better luck crossing over to GA (if there is anything close up your way). I am grateful that overall CT is very small so if I have to dry north an hour to stay "local" that is okay, but thankfully since I am closer to NY the train in also isnt that bad. When I did my undergrad there were times I would just drive into Fordham, but granted I was zooming from work to class and that program was also part-time.
I know this is just the beginning and basics, but thank you for the breakdown of the information in such layman terms, super helpful with processing and retaining the information!
@jayprev97 I am using a notebook and highlighters. For school I swear by Goodnotes, everything needed from Canvas is in there and then my notes and what not. But, for the sake of my brain, pen and paper (physically) help me better process and retain information than my ipad. Maybe I will change it up in the future, but I like it best this way for now.
@SophiaBailey mine did not initially show, I just clicked the middle of the video to start it.
@JaredKebbell Hey ! So from my understanding on the LSAC website, is that they will request all your transcripts, so I assume that includes your masters. I am also finishing up my program, I have a capstone in February, but I am also hoping they add it because undergrad was a wild time in my life (personal life struggles).
@Call Me Eric @APBookninja hey y'all, I am 34 and honestly I have debated this question too as I know for sure I will not have the option to do a full-time program because of life and responsibilities. But as I am finishing my masters up, online, I do think that I would want my law school experience to be in person. I am not sure where you are located, but I am in CT and there are some programs in both CT/NY that have part-time "night" classes. Not sure if this is something you looked into, but it is worth giving it a try.
Also Eric, thank you for your words! I had this convo with a classmate earlier this week regarding doubting myself. I have done many things and have been fortunate enough to not only have an educational but lived and work experience, but I still doubted finally taking this step. She said the same thing, don't take yourself out of the game and instead fight to find your seat. I am a firm believer that it will work out as it should and I am also winging it (with my trust and faith) that I will be in law school soon.
@anzozayda Hey !! Your background sounds a little like mine. I did my undergrad at Fordham University, it was an interdisciplinary of human development which focused on sociology and psychology. I started the MSW at Boston University, but left after a year. My current masters is in Social Justice and Human rights. I have worked in housing, dv, mental and behavioral health, education, with cancer patience, at 988, with the Affordable Care Act when it first was introduced, and I am currently working with unaccompanied minors entering the country. I was part of a the development team for a wraparound gender affirming program here is Connecticut. I always wanted to go to law school, but the financial aspect of it always deterred me. There are a few schools on the T14 list that I am interested in, but I do want to do a program that has an immigration clinic. My interests are on the policy end also! I am open to study buddies, I work from home currently and I am on EST time.
@Kevin Lin *takes knowledge also*
@SZavala I feel you because when I just trust myself and not overthink I have the answers, but the moment I think for a second too long I change it to "be safe" and it is wrong. And I am breaking down the statements, but I am just mentally disconnected today.
