I think work experience helps in two different ways. One is showing maturity, and the other is doing something difficult/challenging.

Dean Z can only speak to her school and when she is in charge. Does not apply to other schools fully. Talked to a few deans of admissions and they say ignore all the social media deans because they can't speak for how other schools operate

babycat

So you get points for any professional work experience just for maturity reasons, and more consideration if that work is difficult

BruceSutter

13:01

and maybe another consideration for if the work aligns with what you intend to do in law

I hate when St. John's emails me with a subject line that's like a TikTok trend or something. pissing me off

I don't know Dean Z does have some helpful tidbits. I think in the KJD episode, she mentioned that she looked more for a why law for KJD's.

@BruceSutter: I think the maturity factor is the biggest one playing against KJDs. WE shows you have more life experience and maybe more maturity to help. The level of work matters.

@babycat: was that the one with the dean having a bratt girls summer? I thought it was troll/spam and I lost respect for the school.

I have a question (=^-ω-^=) If an application asks if your the first to attend graduate/professional school and you have a parent that went but did not graduate you would say no right?

babycat

13:11

I would say you're the first if they didn't graduate

babycat

13:11

tbh

snow

13:11

mmm i mean they attended

babycat

13:11

don't love the use of the word attend there

babycat

13:11

you could always ask the office for clarification

snow

13:11

yeah, i think it depends on the exact wordage

LawDeke

13:12

Sorry if this has come up but has anyone heard from Wake Forest

babycat

13:12

I think it depends on intent too. because you're not exactly advantaged if a family member went but didn't graduate

GodsPlanUltimately

My thoughts exactly!

yeah the first gen questions usually don't leave much room for nuance
