I hate that I have to bring up something "negative" but realistic. I have been thinking more and more about the impact of getting into debt during a potential recession and gaining employment after law school. Would anyone happen to have any insight in regards to the impact of a recession on the legal field?
Thanks,
Joseph
A similar thing happened to me. I started out at a community college and transferred to a four year. Before transferring, I had to do an academic renewal. Unfortunately LSAC does not honor those so all my Fs were going to be weighted (punitive). I spoke with the schools I applied to and they all suggested I write an addendum explaining my situation. It helps that there was an uptrend in my GPA. Don't be discouraged with the cumulative (of all your transcripts) gpa LSAC states, mine showed a 2.9, but my gpa at my four year was a 3.4. Hope this helps
Thanks I appreciate a "cup half full" perspective. My thoughts were similar to most of the points you mentioned, I guess I just needed some validation as to whether I was the only one thinking like that.
