For now I'm assuming I have jack shit and will be pleasantly surprised to learn otherwise lol. Somewhere should hopefully give me a full ride otherwise it's LRAP time

OOOOOOO Okay I remember you talking about that. Did you ever reach out to the gold star family organization to get set up for it? You or your mom can log into the VA website and just apply. It is a 2-4 week turn around

TurboSplitter

13:44

Yeah I've done research on it. Talked to local VA office but they had no idea what they were talking about lol. My mom has a bunch of weird login stuff she has to sort out with her VA account so I'm kind of in limbo until that gets figured out

BruceSutter

13:44

too many web portals. Big problem that doesn't get talked about

ClassyPleasantHeron

@BruceSutter: So true.

Most VA workers have no idea what they are doing which is why I suggested the Gold Star family member organization. They can be your advocate or guide at least to figure it out. Just have her use/set up a login.gov and that'll work across all VA website/apps. If you are a beneficiary you can set one up yourself as well.

does anyone know if Davis sends out decisions all at the same time?

HopefullyInLawSchool

13:47

Davis is making me tweak as well

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

13:47

like my portal says it updated....but I am still "evaluation in progress"

HopefullyInLawSchool

13:48

me too at 9:51?

TurboSplitter

13:48

Will probably call the education hotline after Thanksgiving. The login.gov stuff is what she needs to get sorted out, mine still needs to verify my ID. I'll talk to the Gold Star org and see if they can help

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

13:49

@HopefullyInLawSchool: yep exact same time

GodsPlanUltimately

13:50

Will it look bad if you only did 1 out of the two optional essays?

HopefullyInLawSchool

13:50

Im thinking they sent a wave then

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

13:50

Definitely should, getting your certificate of eligibility is the easiest part. Shit gets worse once you actually try to use it so you would need to plan a good cushion of time.

@GodsPlanUltimately: I did 1 optional for each school I wasn't in love with and did all optional essays on the ones I loved. I would say the more you like the school the more you should engage with them and put into the application.

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

13:52

@HopefullyInLawSchool: I hope it's an all green wave

Skydog1969

I think the UC Davis portal time/date changes if they make any decision or the regular 6:00 change

GodsPlanUltimately

13:53

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: I agree with you it's just that the other optional essay has to deal with diversity and the professionalism oath one takes going into law school. I just don't think I can answer their question based upon my life. Your answer is accurate though so I will think about it.

HopefullyInLawSchool

13:53

@WorthlessAttractiveZombie: well it means we aint gettin a decision

Skydog1969

13:53

it doesn't necessarily mean it changed for you but could for others

yo when is UKentucky gonna release bro...

@GodsPlanUltimately: If you can't add value to your application with the essay then don't do it. No need to make the adcom read to just read

GodsPlanUltimately

13:54

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Very true! Thank you.

HopefullyInLawSchool

13:54

@ThoughtlessTacitBadger: after they go through the YM applications

13:55

i only did optional essays if i thought they would add something to my app i wouldn't have otherwise

jackfrost11770

13:55

so eg i didn't do a separate DS for most schools because i talk about my identity and life experiences and shit in my personal statement so it would've been redundant

jackfrost11770

13:56

for schools that have specific prompts like duke i did them

GodsPlanUltimately

13:57

Yeah because I mean I could talk about my religious background but I feel like it may just fall flat since I've done two options on personal experience and I dont' have any other work experience that relates to it. I just don't want it to harm me that I didn't tell them as much about my self as I could with all the statements but I'm just not sure it'll sound authentic -- even if I am passionate about my faith. So I'm heavily leaning to skip it.

jackfrost11770

13:58

i think if you only briefly mention it in your personal statement and you really talk about things like how it influences your woldview for example or how it shapes your future plans and why you want to go into law (if that's not something you talk about in your PS) that's a very solid DS
