  • @KMairynD - some of the best advice that I've received regarding leaving a city that you love: it will be there waiting for you when you're ready to return! I'm sure that if you leave your current job on good terms and there's an opening in the fut…
  • Thanks, @"Dr. Yamata" ! Besides location, I'm curious to learn more about how you're going to go about with your process of elimination? Have you heard much about scholarships/funding for part-time students? Also, I read somewhere that the ABA does…
  • Congratulations! Enjoy your awesomeness!
  • @KMairynD, I feel your full-time job/study pain. I work seven days a week, manage staff while I'm off-site from pretty much 6a to 10p, so I very much feel your pain. It's hard to get in the study-zone after cranking out a 10-hour day at work or rece…
  • Thanks for the info @alexandergreene93. This is going to be quite the adventure figuring this all out!
  • @alexandergreene93 - thanks for the pep talk! I'm unsure if my undergrad does A+ grades. @Pacifico - does being a ginger count as URM? We're an endangered species, you know...oh well. Back to studying.
  • So, now I have to wonder if I can be a bit more confident about my "flipped" numbers. My undergrad GPA was 3.867 (are all of those decimal places really necessary!?!). I've yet to take the LSAT in October for the second time (first time in Dec 201…
  • Thanks, @alexandergreene93! It sure is a lot to think about, to say the least. He has an interview tomorrow for an MIT position, and so he says that I can go to Harvard (to which I roll my eyes and say "yeah, once I get a 180 on the LSAT...")!
  • There was a lot of eating, drinking, and stretching going on in the hallway. I'm wondering if next time I should do a yoga headstand to get more bloodflow to my shriveled brain. :P
  • Thanks, all! I mentioned at dinner last night that I need a study schedule, and he agreed. I think that finding balance is especially challenging, especially since the warmer months are here, which means that the days are longer and all of the "norm…
  • Thanks, Dillon! If the lesson is longer than 5 minutes or so and doesn't have a transcript, then that's where I'm struggling. There are a number of lessons that fall into this category. I'm a much more efficient learner if there are transcripts, esp…
  • @ddakjiking Yes, NU has been mentioned to me a few times. I'm a licensed practitioner and manager in allied health, which is why I'm interested in pursuing a cert/program in health law. I have a solid undergrad & grad GPA, but I'm just shaking i…
  • Thanks, @blah170blah & @nicole.hopkins. Your stories are exactly what I was hoping to hear about. I think that I would be much more confident this second time around if I were a little more freshly out of under/grad and my brain were used to stu…
  • Thanks, guys. Do you feel it's absolutely necessary to have your personal statement/s written before you ask for a LOR? In other words, what kind of guidance did you provide your recommender for the writing process?
  • @emli1000 said: I was in a the same situation last year when I asked my boss for a LOR she was more than happy to write one for me and she has actually been very supportive along the way. Thanks for your response! How did you approach the subject …
  • @nicole.hopkins said: I understand the anxiety surrounding asking a great boss for a letter since it might seem to jeopardize the relationship/continued employment. However, for a 31-year-old, going back to school or changing career is par for the …
  • @shine.on.me said: One of my LORs is from my current boss, he was more than willing to do it. Thanks for your input! I'm curious to know how you approached it with your boss. To add some more context, I'm in healthcare, and I probably see my boss …
