this is the rest of your life you're talking about, but it's your life and not mine

I would take the risk if it was just me but the family backlash is just too much

hcarralero2005

I take it as my fault, should've scored higher the first time I took the LSAT

hcarralero2005

or pushed my graduation

a full ride to FSU is amazing and I should probably just take it

You can make something great out of it! Sometimes life locks you in for a minute...I have a 3.18 LSAC GPA lol. NYU was my dream school, but life just kinda shut that door for me. Sometimes you gotta take what you can now, then pivot when you can later. There can be multiple paths to NYC for you, especially if you don't have debt from the fullride at FSU!

if you got a 168 on your first lsat, you could realistically get into the low 170s with an extra year and multiple attempts. nothing wrong with fsu but it seems like you're young and some work experience first could be super helpful not just for your application but for getting perspective as well!

My parents are weirdly completely opposed to me getting work experience, they believe the moment that paycheck touches my bank account I will give up my studies lol

hcarralero2005

19:29

It's kinda stupid but what can you do

BrainierJet19

19:29

i'd do my own thing but that's just me

HappyLilOutlier

Are you first gen?

hcarralero2005

19:30

First gen law but my dad has a masters, not in the US though

HappyLilOutlier

19:31

Idk where I was going with that question, but parents are weird lol. I'm sure they want what's best for you, but it's ultimately your life and you have to deal with the consequences of your own choices

HappyLilOutlier

19:32

I'm sure they'd get over it if you decided to take another year, too

hcarralero2005

At the same time, better bird in hand that 100 birds flying

hcarralero2005

19:38

Roughly translated lol

hcarralero2005

And maybe I can transfer and being debt free is a blessing, especially now that America is being made great again by causing the second great depression

hcarralero2005

19:40

I'm really tired of winning Mr. President

HappyLilOutlier

19:46

I'm gonna try to transfer lol, even though I have a near fullride right now

HappyLilOutlier

19:46

Or maybe you'll fall in love with Miami!

hcarralero2005

19:48

FSU is Tallahassee, I meant working in Miami eventually since it's the big city of Florida

hcarralero2005

19:48

It's not too bad of an idea, and doesn't seem like a bad lifepath

HappyLilOutlier

19:52

Ahhh yeah okay I'd personally hate Tallahassee BUT I stand by what I've said lol

@hcarralero2005: I thought law school transfers aren't eligible for scholarships at their new schools?

The consensus is not to expect a scholly, but they are possible circumstances dependent. For reference, I encourage you to check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/LawSchoolTransfer/search/?q=scholarship&cId=a09e81d4-20c7-4f14-bb49-b638a2ffa5fc&iId=ee1f716a-b5ab-4271-919e-4fc7093cd1dd and do some research NOW if you are planning on transferring. YMMV
