I studied for like 2 months on lsat I do think I could do better but I don’t want to take another year, is it realistic to think if I get top 10% of my class to get NYC comfortable wage

I just don’t want to be stuck in NJ for rest of life

I mean I'm not an oracle but the general vibe in this chat is that if you're not content with your admissions results, are willing to work on your LSAT, R&Ring is a reasonable decision

Though you should look at the alumni and employment outcomes for Seton Hall, they may place more people in NYC than you'd think

When Infinite Jest came out Walter Kirn said, “The competition has been obliterated. It's as though Paul Bunyan had joined the NFL, or Wittgenstein had gone on Jeopardy! The novel is that colossally disruptive. And that spectacularly good.”

@JupitersMoons: do not suggest rejected and REJECTED to people lmfao

@DigiFartHoe: true to form, I feel like that's an ice cold take? If someone doesn't want to live somewhere where they have a good offer, and their profile doesn't necessarily indicate that they have gotten into another school in that area they would want to live, retaking and reapplying is an extremely valid option to present to them

If someone decides halfway, or more than halfway into a cycle that they know where they want to live, they didn't apply there, and they don't think the schools they have applied to will get them there, considering if this cycle is for them is an option, no? I've had people tell me to R&R for the exact same wisdom and reasoning, as I am a late applicant who isn't 100% sure that the school they got into is their favorite choice. Knowing that you can R&R is just providing someone with more information so they can make an informed decision, imo

JupitersMoons

22:10

Also, quote where I say they should R&R. I actually went out of my way to look at the school and provide extra information and/or questions to ask that would encourage them not to R&R

smh I need to go home

@JupitersMoons: most it is just "wait a year to get more money" when if you do a financial analysis you are farrrrrr better off just going

@OrganicAcridWizard: ur welcome and as stated previously, not an oracle. Make the decision that you are comfortable with, and what is to happen is to happen. Law school is bound to be an extremely stressful time in your life, and no amount of money will change you being desperately unhappy because of where you geographically reside. If living in NYC will make you happier, I think that is a completely valid reason to R&R. If you're like me, however, and are just desperately afraid of the unknown, get more familiar with the school and the region and the stats and the people. Do research and make it feel less alien to you.

Digi is this forum's equivalent of a troll under the bridge: cranky, gross, and should be widely disregarded. If the pessimism wasn't deterrent enough, the sexism, slurs, and likely fake account should suffice.

but I think I could get to NYC for work from there and no tuition so hey

JupitersMoons

Literally damn close to same story with me. Huge scholarship, but 2,000 miles. Middle of nowhere school, population 7,000. Have no connections to the state, but hey, they place big law in DC and NY, and are giving me the most bang for my buck right now. I've gotten so much more comfortable with W&L by browsing the subreddit for testimonials, reaching out to current students on LinkedIn, and even making random connections with people in the state.

Full send it, unless hesitant, imo. Life goes so quick.

Else R&R but make a plan, determine what is important to you, determine your options, write them down, make a flow chart. U got it
