also, if you did not do so already, I strongly suggest applying for an LSAC fee waiver. all you need is last years tax return and to send them an email. that will get you auto waive app fee and 6 cas reports (or more)
soapy
22:41
ah damn. I wish I had known about that earlier rip
soapy
22:43
I was under the impression you’d needed a Pell Grant to be eligible
Dkk
22:43
Yeah, I had no idea about the fee waiver last year. Would have saved a lot of money. This whole process really takes a year to learn.
22:43
scroll down, green box, 2 prep tests in exam mode, then a course,
soapy
22:45
oh baller
22:46
* I did have a pell grant, however LSAC reworked their website re fee waiver, it seems it depends on income alone
22:50
@Dkk: I never knew if this guy, but ig he memed a little too hard: https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-137/united-states-v-mackey/

22:53
I had a Pell grant and they denied my request and I got too scared to appeal bc of their weird language about how they can come after you
22:54
@soapy: see how the cycle goes, it is impossible to give advice bc: 1. I am no expert, 2. i do not know your situation, 3. i have no idea what your goals are. BUT I think bunny is right- apply to HSY if you want this year (ideally after getting a fee waiver from LSAC), take the Jan lsat, and see what choices you have, if u like them, and go from there
[] baddestbunny
22:54
You can get a fee waiver from Berkeley by showing proof you were a Pell grant recipient if this helps anyone in chat

22:55
my undergrad EFC was zero lol
22:55
@baddestbunny: the nerve: picture this: poor student asks for a discount, big company says no, poor student sheepishly asks to reconsider, big company: sues. lol fuck this timeline
[] baddestbunny
22:56
I’m picturing it!
soapy
22:58
That’s a good plan. Based on my technically dependent status and the fact that my parents have enough money to not be eligible for that, I would def get denied. But I’ll just see what happens with the schools I did applied to. I got an interview w/Gtown and Cornell, so maybbbeee it won’t be a total bust, and honestly would be happy going to a match school. We’ll see what happens!

shoutout to monopolies within higher ed making the whole thing hard to access and unaffordable 🫡
23:01
"just do JD next bro"
23:03
it seems so simple; how hard could they make it to spend $300k for a piece of paper. Law schools be like: hold my beer bro!
soapy
23:05
“hello! I am willing to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt for a piece of paper! please let me do so!”
soapy
23:06
“Pay me $125 bucks first. Not good enough. Next.”
23:07
ok step right up, it will take 1 year + a few thousand $$ to begin the 3 year process to teach you to say; 'it depends" THEN you can spend 6 months studying for the test to maybe get a job.
soapy
23:08
Don’t forget, you’ll need to shell out $5000 in prep materials and a few thousand for the test itself. Then you have a shot at a job, good luck!
23:08
but on the plus side- we are headed towards hyper inflation so in 5 years $300k may be so little amount of money the whole process may be a great deal, maybe.
soapy
23:10
Ah, but we’re also experiencing the death of on campus interviews. So if you aren’t already close to a Biglaw partner, good luck getting enough money to pay back the debt thanks to the bimodal salary.
23:11
@soapy: also true
23:15
on the bright side: 1. avg age of a lawyer is 46 yrs old, many JDs do not stay in the profession, turnover is high and you get a chance to spend 3 years figuring out the rules of life so you may be in a position to be a weapon in business. overall, possibly worth it?
soapy
23:17
certainly worthwhile. The job I want requires a law degree, and I really can’t see myself doing anything other than law long term.
