This was a really short breakdown just giving you guys my stats and some background info. Do y'all have questions or want me to go more in-depth on anything here?
Hi Tex, thank you for making this video! As a future law school applicant, things I would love to know more about are how many tries did you take to get to 167 and what schools did ur 3.76/167 got you into, and ofc these are all under the premise that u feel comfortable to share!
Glad you enjoyed it! No problem at all! Might work to put together a longer video with all that info but at the very least I’ll make a post on the channel with it!
Considering going into law school, I came across your channel, I appreciate all the good insight you are giving us! I graduate next year from ASU with my undergraduate degree. What are your recommendations for studying for the LSAT and when to apply for law school? How did you study for the LSAT, and how long did it take you? What resources and texts did you use? Thank you for your help bro!
I studied for and took the LSAT the summer before my senior year of undergrad (This summer for you). I'll do a full video on LSAT prep, but the basic advice is: take a practice LSAT to see where you're at, then evaluate based on your own study habits. I'm self directed so I basically just used the PowerScore Bibles, but a lot of people find actual classes beneficial. You'll want to apply during the Fall of your senior year unless you plan on working before entering law school. This means taking the LSAT at the end of this summer or very early Fall at the latest. Hope this helped! Best of luck!!!
I'm a former college dropout and just last year I decided to re-enroll and complete my undergrad. I've had law school on my mind for a couple of years now, so i'm definitely thinking about going and starting to plan for it. I'm currently 26 and majoring in criminal justice. If all goes well, I'm thinking I'll probably be about 29 or so when I begin law school. What kind of financial recommendations do you have as far as being able to cover just the basic living expenses throughout one's time at law school? Also, what other general advice would you be willing to share? Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
First of all, congrats on going back to school! It's a hard choice and most people never make it back once they leave the first time. When it comes to financials, unfortunately, loans are going to be your main option. Generally, law schools don't allow first-year students to work at all, so you'll have no way of earning an income. Some schools will let you work on the down-low, but doing so is difficult given the amount of time it takes to adjust to law school. My best recommendation is to heavily consider schools that give you good scholarship money as this will substantially lighten the burden. Even if you get a full-ride, you will end up having to pay living expenses. The only ways to deal with this are loans, working enough before law school to cover these expenses, or working enough the summer after 1L to cover your costs. Most people end up taking out loans, but I have friends who worked full careers and saved prior to starting law school. I also have a friend who worked in construction for 60 hours a week the summer after 1L and made enough to cover his expenses. Ultimately, there is no easy answer, but there are a few routes you can take. As for other advice, feel free to reach out with specific questions! I also have other videos on the channel with info about specific parts of law school which you may find interesting. Best of luck with the rest of undergrad and with applying to law school in the future!
My travel plans were a little late this year so I didn’t have time to make one before the semester started! Current plan is to wait and do a big one with all of my grades from my 2L year after this semester!!
Then prove it. Tons of people say that but never actually take the LSAT or take the time to follow through. If you want to get in then go out there and get it done
