@eggbagel: i think it depends what type of person u r. like for me, i'm constantly acknowledging the benefits and drawbacks of certain decisions to the point where nothing ever feels PERFECT. not in a pessimistic way, but having doubts can be a reasonable way to feel

jmonnaayyy

17:16

but if ur someone who sometimes is like IM ALL INNNNN and then in this instance youre not, i'd say that's a diff story

eggbagel

17:17

i feel like i have a lot of regrets over my cycle and i feel like i could have done some things better re my apps but at the same time I’m scared that if I do turn this down I could end up worse off next year

I’m on my way to get my nails done rn and I really don’t wanna cry in the nail salon GULC

eggbagel

17:18

also i have been a little freaked over the employment outcomes since i 100% know I don’t want to stay in the Midwest

dont go to a regional school in a region you dont like lmao

jmonnaayyy

17:19

valid yeah i hopped in this convo knowing very little about your circumstances

@eggbagel: is your lsat score above medians?

eggbagel

17:19

4.low/169

@eggbagel: I would be wary of attending a school that places 3/4 of grads in the Midwest if you don't want to work there

eggbagel

17:20

a lot of it is self selection or that’s what they say because it’s easier to find jobs in the region but the numbers still worry me

[] ararara

17:20

Imo you should be studying rn for a retake

eggbagel

17:20

I took the test 4 times

[] ararara

17:20

There's still time for June even

eggbagel

17:21

idk if it’ll go up any further atp which is my dilemma

[] ararara

17:21

That doesn't matter if you can get the score plus you have nothing to lose except time

@jb2028: u right - my softs are like T2.5 and I'm not a URM (schools are chicago, UVA, Berkeley, georgetown, UCLA, vandy as WLs)

[] ararara

17:21

You might as well try June imo but you would be dedicating time and money

eggbagel

17:22

uggghh gonna go for a walk maybe that’ll clear my head

eggbagel

17:22

thank you all for the insight i appreciate it <3

[] ararara

17:22

It's nbd and calming your brain is more helpful than anything! If you got a 169 you already know what you're doing just need to stop making mistakes.

@jb2028: 3 years WE (2 at a unicorn PI and one at a legal aid clinic)

@trees1234567: Sounds like you have some impressive softs, it would be unusual for schools to waitlist you if you won't move either median up

DaBurgHamblerer

17:23

egg i wish i could give better or more advice, but i am definitely sending good vibes / thoughts your way. ugh!!

[] ararara

17:23

Personally I was stuck at 169 and kept pushing as hard as I could. I broke open the 170s once I stopped trying so hard.

jb2028

17:23

Might be a "We like this person... if we can lock in our medians"

@jb2028: that is what I have been thinking as well but needed to get some reassurance from the LSD GOAT
