* 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/

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

You can get a fee waiver from Berkeley by showing proof you were a Pell grant recipient if this helps anyone in chat

my undergrad EFC was zero lol

@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

I’m picturing it!
soapy

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 🫡

"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.
23:17
wat u wanna do soap
soapy
23:19
The long-term pipe dream would be to be a labor arbitrator. That’s far in the future, however, and I would like to do labor/employment law cases as an attorney
