Wait, when people say they got “$150,000” in scholis. Does that mean over three years. The CoA calculator goes on per year

You guys, I am devastated. I got into Drake Law School in Iowa, and after finals I was academically dismissed because my GPA fell 0.23 points below the requiremed minimum (keep in mind I was sick at the time and I have a cognitive disability). I can appeal the dismissal, but I am not sure what to focus on the most in terms of "proving that the issue," impacting me at the time of finals, "has been addressed."

Right now I am taking paralegal courses, and I'm taking the same classes I would have taken my first semester (slightly easier since its a paralegal program). What else should I do? I was dealing with a lot at the time as well. Do I got to therapy?

MrThickRopes

21:13

Get them grades up playa

Cellarwhen

I was already academically dismissed. W

Cellarwhen

21:14

This means I was essentially kicked out because I was 0.23 points below the required GPA

Blumenkraft

22:10

i have no idea Cellarwhen, perhaps talk to services on campus?

You can appeal an academic dismissal with your school. If this does not work or if you do not currently feel ready to return to law school I would highly recommend taking some time to work and study for the LSAT in order to retake it. You’re going to want to put distance between you and your academic dismissal and you can do this by showing you will be professionally and academically able to perform in law school.

Look at pages 45-46 of this document, which outline the steps you can take to appeal academic dismissal at Drake

The issues you had at the time were that you were sick and you have a cognitive disability. Sounds like you should be arguing that you need better accommodations for your cognitive disability so this doesn’t happen again

Should only happen once before you learn though. Fix your life over the next 8 years and you will be better off for it.

Just wondering on people's perspectives here... I am currently employed full-time as a 911 dispatcher. I started out this cycle applying to a few part-time online programs that I would *theoretically* be able to retain my job for at least as long as it remains feasible for me with that workload. However, I eventually applied to in-person full-time programs as well. So my question is; if you were in my position and received offers from both, which direction would you lean? Or, more importantly, what factors would tend to influence your decision? I have received a few now but have not made up my mind.

Also, if you're curious about 911 dispatch, AMA. I love the job.

KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel

9:46

If you love the job, probably part time.

DesertedSparklingFox

10:07

The asterisk there is that the plan revolves around keeping that job; if the academic needs of the program become too much to handle, I can't just go part-time. So I see a possible situation where I commit to a part-time online program, then end up having to leave my job anyway, when I could have attended an in-person school at a higher sticker price but substantially higher salary stats.

I may just be talking myself into it anyway. Lol
