im having a legitimate crisis over UT and whether im making the wrong decision omfg
eggbagel
16:22
i considered taking another year off to work but im also scared that giving up a full scholarship would be a really stupid decision
pug
16:22
but no this is fine. ppl who are actually familiar with UT are telling me im not making a bad decision
HorseyMed
16:22
If ur goal is biglaw u should def RR
eggbagel

i think my issue is more fear of being region locked because i dont mind not getting bl since i wont have to be forced into it to pay off loans
eggbagel
16:23
but i just dont want to be stuck in the midwest forever
pug
16:23
Yea the region thing is also my fear egg

Mmm egg if you got a 175 you would be competitive for any law school in the country
eggbagel
16:24
i am unfortuantely quite terrible at standardized testing
eggbagel
16:25
also i only have 1 more attempt left for the 5 year maximum
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
16:25
Mmm, can you work on it or is it kinda just doomed
chag
16:25
again, my belief is that as long as you're at a T20 and you make sure you do well in school, you could probably find work in most if not all of the major legal markets in the country
chag
16:25
emphasis on the making sure you do well and build your resume, though
eggbagel
16:25
logic games was also my best section so prob doomed :/
pug
16:25

pug
16:26

i mean im only saying my personal beliefs. im not an analyst, but the vast majority of the T20 places across the country. while *yes* UT has the most clout inside of its home state, it can be used as an avenue to many jobs in NYC, DC, LA, and more. not only can it be used that way, it *is* used that way by dozens of students every year.
Pongleton

and UT is an excellent school to get a degree from
