    It is quite interesting to hear the paragraph structure debate. In law school you are taught in excess about brevity, how is that not applicable to LSAT writing? Do not give me five sentences if you can win it all in three. Giving more than is needed is a waste of precious minutes on LSAT writing. A WASTE. At this point y'all trust God because trying to please people will lead you astray.

    She's not a law school graduate Does not have a Juris Doctor OR an "equivalent" whatever that means. She is an imposter. Has never attended law school. It is obvious that she is a layperson, she is a secretary. She would do absolutely anything to get students. They don't care. There are essentially absolutely no requirements of admission. But the LLM program at St Thomas accepts many students with fake credentials. Just listen to her, she's a sociopath. She is such a scammer that she ended up getting access to the Pope based upon her "fake credentials". That is absolutely scary. Siegfried Weissner and Roza Pati have pulled a huge scam over the law students at STU as well large donors. A federal investigation is on-going and it will not be long before STU is exposed. They lose their ABA accreditation as well as Federal Student Funding. This clip is an excellent example of what a scammer she is. Just ask her for a copy of her JD diploma and for proof of her being an elected official in Albania. She is a liar. She's trying to say that from high school you can get a JD equivalent in a foreign country BUT she fails to state that in foreign countries they are licensed to practice law in courts. She's an absolute liar and anyone educated recognizes that. She studied English, nothing else, nothing real, nothing remarkable. When she discusses the admissions to the LLM she is talking about herself as a non-lawyer who applied to the LLM and then began her educational scam. Don't give people like her a platform to continue this PUBLIC FRAUD. She is extremely mentally ill and a FRAUDSTER.

But I'm optimistic about it. It seems better than paying someone thousands of dollars. This is connected to my university.

    I took the August LSAT…..I will leave that there. I am now preparing to take the writing section, and am a little nervous to JUST be learning that it’s different than the old version. Took a “top notch” test prep course from a prestigious university, and never once …..never once….. did they mention the writing section being different. First generation undergrad in my family from both sides and I’m feeling every barrier to the law school dream 😅 I’m a single mama, Pan-African American, and Formerly Incarcerated Lived Expert (FILE), wondering now if Law is for me.

    I wrote the LSAT the second to last semester of undergrad. After I got my results, I then looked at my finances I realized I couldn’t afford to go. 20 yrs later after graduation, and 20yrs working my way up in the same company, my desire to go to law school hasn’t left. Watching videos such as this give me the confidence to know that as a person over 40 that I am not too old to start.

    Hello Sydney, Wonderful channel and program for aspiring law students. Would you happen to have any advice for a non traditional student that has always had a dream to attend law school but life has been “life-ing” in alternate directions thus far. I also graduated in 1997 and I haven’t been back to school ever since for any graduate studies except taking a few classes in education to authenticate my compitence to teach special needs students in a “substitute” teacher capacity. How do I begin to activate this dream and manifest it into reality as I embark to navigate these law school terrains. My head is “spinning” 🤦🏽‍♀️

    Thank you for the video and what you shared. I would have liked to know more about what strategies to use to fun and afford child care when your family isn’t near, how to find good schools for your kids, how to balance things like meals and pickups with being involved in school activities (ex: law journal, events, BLSA or something of the like), and what it’s like transitioning to the career stage with children (especially little ones). I have help because my spouse works from home, but I would really like to know more about these things so we can better talk about support and plan. I would also like to know if there are certain things law schools can or should do to help students with families, or what would have been helpful if they offered it. I want to try and bring those things to the table as I’m in the decision-making phase of applying.

    I m a 42 husband and farther and I am seriously considering taking JD, as it is the essential path to a higher degree like JSD. I have always been interested in constitutional law of the US. My past exp were mainly focused on entrepreneurship. I got two degrees in Economics from QS50 universities. I build successful business in both China and the US, in finance and real estate. I was a founder, board member, and principal of an international school in China. This year, I decide to pursuit my life long objective and that is to get a phd in law. My past exp gave me a comment sense, judgement, and analytical skill that are critical to successfully complete a law degree. While my savings and passive incomes enable me to devote 100% in academia without worrying the expenditures before and after graduation. Plus, I do speak good English and Chinese. With a credible law degree, I may find a career in think tanks and political research institutions which focus on analyzing the Sino-US international relation, trade policies, and the dispute of intellectual property protections, etc. Anyway, I am going to law school, who cares what they say...
