170 something on the LSAT?!? Omg teach me your ways
She has a great video.. & she got a 173 I believe
I think she’s very humble and didn’t want to say lol
I have read that they recommend applying to at least ten schools. That’s so many tho.
Congratulations!! That’s so exciting!
I did not want this video to end. Great job! My jack dropped, which does not happen often, when you said you picked Washington University. I cannot believe you turned down Berkeley or the Ivy's! Blew my mind. I wish you the best and congratulations!
I’m so proud of you!!
Thanks for this one as well. Great job. You'll be a great advocate for whatever cause is fortunate enough to have your help.
thank you!!
Hi there! Would you be open to discussing what steps you took to achieve your LSAT score? Thank you for sharing your journey!
yep! i actually just posted a video about how i studied!
How are your softs if you don't mind asking? Given your acceptance I'd assume it's pretty impressive!
You are so lucky congrats. I applied to 24 law school and all I got were rejections. :-(((
Congrats girl!
I also deferred my law school journey by a year and I am SO glad I did because of covid happening lol
The tier 14 law schools are hard to get into. For future applicants out there, if you can't get into a T14 school, then go to a regional law school. Employers like to recruit from regional law schools.
the kick is getting a good scholarship from these schools
All of the law schools you named are definitely law schools I would love to go to. I’m an incoming senior in highschool, so i’m looking at colleges. I was just wondering where you went for undergrad and what was your major?
i went to university of georgia, and i majored in international affairs, public relations, and economics!
That's really awesome!! I'm curious where did you go for undergrad?
university of georgia!
How will it affect you if you decide to go to law school in another state than the one you plan on practicing law in?
the school i'm going to has high placement rates across the country rather than just within their state, so it's really just a matter of taking the bar for wherever i decide i want to end up practicing (likely dc)!
In general, it's better to go to law school near where you plan to practice. Even in NC, I feel an aversion to people who went to non-North Carolina law schools and even having a Harvard degree isn't that impressive to the good ole boys.
washu is a cool place! one more year left of undergrad there for me then i'll prolly be applying to law schools as well :)
i'm definitely excited for it!
Did you apply immediately after undergrad or did you take time off before applying?
i took time off! i applied the fall after graduating, which would've originally given me a year of working before starting law school, but since i deferred, i will have taken two full years off by the time i start this fall.
How did you study for the LSAT?
mostly self-study! i wrote a whole blog post about it here: www.espressoandambition.com/2017/08/25/lsat-prep-tips/
What election were you working on when applying?
i was working for an organization doing ads across a bunch of races nationwide, so not one election specifically!
Just out of curiosity, is there any particular reason you didn't apply to Harvard Law School? Your stats pretty much put you right at both medians.
yes there is! none of the top three (harvard/yale/stanford) do merit-based scholarships, and graduating with minimal debt was something that i knew from the start was really important to me in choosing a school.
fellow UGA alumn! I will be attending NYU law this fall on a full ride. Also prioritized scholarships above all also so good on you for doing that. WashU is a fantastic school- great choice!
I’m applying for next fall. I’m only submitting for 5 schools bc it’s super expensive. Luckily I can take the GRE instead of the LSAT.
Travelwithash GRE?
Yes you can also take the gre for many law schools, but most people take the lsat bc it’s accepted at most schools.
What was your major in undegrad?
international affairs, public relations, and economics!
cam some one tell me how u can become a barrister lawyer in detail easy version please
Where did you go undergrad?
university of georgia!
If you have a normal LSAT 15+ apps
Imho, i think 8-10 is enough.
I would love to go to georgetown
I went there-- good school but pricey and no guarantee of a great job at graduation.
omg???? r u a genius or smth???
what kind of things did you have on your resume?
i had internships pretty regularly throughout college (mostly doing PR-type stuff for nonprofits), and was on the exec board for two different campus organizations! and, of course, the job i had at the time of application was on there as well. :)
I also remember seeing you on campus for what that’s worth.
Good luck at Washington U.!
Were any of those schools considered safety for you or were they all match/reach schools? I am just wondering because I am aiming/expecting to have similar stats and i'm planning on applying to a lot of these!
boston college would definitely qualify as a safety - the rest were mostly match schools, although i was much more confident in my chances for some of those (like wustl, vandy, and duke) than others!
@@tayy_kay thank you!
I kinda want to apply to all 20 of the law schools I chose....
also damn girl you got in a bunch
you are cool - smart
what was your major undergrad?
international affairs, public relations, and economics!
how did you gain access to so many PTs?
You can buy them fom lsac.org or Amazon
You seem uncomfortable talking about your successes. I think you don’t want to come off as gloating, but it’s obvious that you’ve earned all of this, so be confident! Congratulations and I appreciate your honesty on your channel.
Big dick energy on choosing the full ride @ WashU over NYU. Deferring into doing your 1L at Zoom U......maybe not so much ahahaha
lol i honestly feel like i might've lucked out this way - it's better than doing half of 1L and half of 2L online, at least
Taylor Kay solid point, I’m just worried about grades (1Ls last year at least had first semester grades, who knows how being online will impact them or if they will even have them). I’m starting at USC in the fall if this Stanford waitlist doesn’t hit. apparently they’re trying a hybrid system but who tf knows what that looks like. Really is a shit show all around.
Law school do interviews?
some of them do, yes!
This was the biggest let down.
She’s definitely lying... lol
lmao i don't know what i'd have to gain from lying to a bunch of strangers on the internet, but ok, believe what you want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
