but I didn't know that he posted that it was in ONE blog it wasn't on the UCLA website

Ijustwannagetinman

22:41

I didn't list him in my second LOCi he's just literally one of my favorite authors so I wrote about him is this devastating that I listed him??

wishmelucc

22:49

i think ur okay i dont think they would expect u to know let alone know themselves

jb2028

22:51

This is a risk of talking about specific professors (and my school's careers in law folks advised me against doing so in Why ___ essays for that reason) but I doubt they're going to gauge your entire interest in the school based on this

jb2028

22:52

Ironically, you'll probably benefit if your reader is a bit cynical and assumes the "one of my favorite authors" bit is laying it on thick, but this person leaving is not actually a dealbreaker

(Which it does not sound like it is)

during my cycle (2020-21) I mentioned professors in many of my apps

rayraywa

22:58

I outperformed my numbers so I don't think its that bad of a tactic

rayraywa

22:58

I think you just need to sound credible

Ijustwannagetinman

23:15

I didn’t say he was one of my favorite authors I just cited UCLA’s first amendment center and said “led by professor volohk”

Ijustwannagetinman

23:15

But he’s leaving soon

Ijustwannagetinman

23:15

He happens to be one of my favorite authors, but I didn’t say that in the essay

Ijustwannagetinman

23:16

I just wanna go to UCLA so bad it makes my heart ache

how do transfers adjust socially typically

zonk

0:43

i know undergrad typically doesnt matter, but is there an exception for if your undergrad is also the law school?

zonk

0:43

i ask as a current community college student hoping to transfer to ucla undergrad, then ucla law

anyone else get an error email from TAMU

Go to the school that will pay for you to go. To do otherwise is a life altering error in judgment.

what about full tuition vs full tuition + stipend if the full tuition without stipend school serves your goals better?

ZCava

8:36

Money should not be your only decision. You have to weigh career goals with immediate cost and pick whatever school gives you the best of both worlds or will be best for you overall.
