thanks! On a 4.0 scale.

Truthfully, I cant afford to study in the US. I was hoping for Mcgill's lower tution or UT's financial aid.

I was basically rushed into uni by my parents who pushed me in a program I did not care for at an age I wasn't ready to study.

I'm smart and I know how to go after something I want, I just did not care for school back then. I wasn't ready and my environment was not good. I did not make friends in school and my grades were abysmal. I fell into a major hole and my parents refused to take me back home, telling me to finish regardless. The realiziation that I was way in over my head with debt at the age of 19 or 20 crushed me completely. The stress manifested in a physical condition that was completely debilitating until I resolved it all recently. It was difficult and doctors couldn't help. I failed a couple of courses and did not seek any academic recourse throught uni, I just wanted out of school.

I held a bunch of short term sales jobs after uni. I worked lots of random short term office contracts. No opportunities. I did a masters. Been fired 3 or 4 times. My work history is all over the place and I cant get a reference and apply as a mature student.no extra curriculars, I read books and exercise.

Pretty sad, I was hoping law school would help me straighten out my life with friends and career, but it looks pretty grim. Might as well call it quits and do something else. Given the time and money invested, I dont want to study at a subpar school... Law isnt like medicine; I'd rather find another path.
