VersedEnchantedCrab

the weekends feel empty now i never thought id be excited for Mondays

12:39

what does it mean for an app to be "under review"? i just submitted one yesterday and it already says that in my portal

MarsBars

12:41

@notavalleygirl: consider it to be as the next step after "received". basically they have a complete application and it is/will be reviewed. Can take awhile or be fast depending onthe school

@notavalleygirl: basically it's in a reviewer's pile of applications.

i never thought i would do it but i signed up to take the LSAT again

14:44

id rather get hit by a truck than sign up/take lsat again

TheURMLawyer

14:44

getting WL at an ED school kinda humbling, idk maybe it'll help who knows, but that test man, its rough

-------

14:45

@TheURMLawyer: if it makes you feel any better, I got an R from my ED

TheURMLawyer

14:46

ouchie

14:46

WL is always a chance :) just keep up with the LOCI

SelectiveNervousCoyote

14:46

@TheURMLawyer: I thought about it…but then started a PT and was like nope I’m done

TheURMLawyer

14:46

i think if i had had a better lsat i would have gotten in. bc i got waitlisted and ppl with like 10 points on top of me for Rs, so maybe I'm just built diff idk!

TheURMLawyer

14:46

thats what im telling myself at least to keep the spirits high

SelectiveNervousCoyote

@TheURMLawyer: sometimes that’s just what you have to do 🤷‍♀️🤣

Quick App Question - I originally put that my current/permanent address would only be good until February 2024. My family has since decided to renew our lease - so we'll be there even longer. Should I email the schools I applied to of this change?

SelectiveNervousCoyote

Yes

I’m thinking about giving my two weeks at the law firm I’m working at right now as a clerk. They have me working on Motions for summary judgement and complaints and other complex stuff without any training. I’m about to get yelled at on Monday for taking time off to go hunt with my dad which I do every year. Am I being nuts?

SelectiveNervousCoyote

15:23

🤷‍♀️only you can make that determination

ExcitedDuck

15:24

you should apply to other jobs and leave when you have an offer in hand

ExcitedDuck

15:24

when your paychecks stop coming in and you have no job lined up, you'll regret leaving (speaking from experience)
