Thanks.

Feels like, what did I spend all those nights in the library for?

Take a break from TLS, go have a few beers, remember you have a 4/173 and that there are plenty of waves left from the schools you want to go to (and that UChi admits a lot of ppl from the WL).

Re: TLS c/o 2021 Applicants Thread
It's not like your GPA becomes irrelevant the second you step off campus - it's a key metric for jobs if you decide to take a few years off. Plus, if you do choose to delay (which, let's be clear, you have some solid outcomes already so I'm not advising to or not to do that), that GPA is only buttressed by strong work experience and softs. Stats can be a sufficient condition, not a guaranteedm1683 wrote: Y

Re: TLS c/o 2021 Applicants Thread
Thought I was getting ghosted by schools for the last 3 weeks. Checked my spam folder even though Ive never had one law school related item sent to that folder in the last 3 years. Find every status checker/application reciept email that I have been waiting for and freaking out about there. A feeling of stupidity washes over me. This cycle needs to be over like yesterday.

Any senior have less than 0 motivation this semester? Last fall it was pretty low, but I still tried because those grades could still have some effect on acceptances and scholarships, but for the spring I'd be perfectly content if I just passed all my classes.

Currently studying for a test tomorrow and I hate everything.Slippin' Jimmy wrote:Any senior have less than 0 motivation this semester?

I was convinced to pick up a second major in my second semester of senior year because I was only 2 classes away. So now I'm taking 5 classes, 3 for a grade. If it wasn't for the second major all I would've had was 2 classes for my minor and the Upper Level Writing Requirement, only one of which I would've needed to take for a grade.
I haven't decided yet if it's worth the effort to try to graduate Cum Laude. I'm leaning towards nah.
