Hey guys, this is my first post!

So I have disabilities. My life path has made me pretty determined to go to law school. I am in pre-law undergrad now and if I got accepted to a law school "on time" I would be starting in fall 2028. I have done all of my undergrad online because there aren't really any accommodations for me (sometimes I have time extensions). The question I have is if it is worth it to go to law school in person vs continuing to do it online. I am PASSIONATE about the law, and would love to be surrounded by fellow law lovers and get to have the university experience. I have missed out on a lot of life milestones and experiences already.

I have Dysautonomia (like POTS) and spinal injuries so I get frequent migraines, extreme fatigue, heart issues, fainting, all kinds of really hard to manage symptoms. I am genuinely asking if people with these kinds of disabilities or limitations/symptoms went to Law school (or any demanding graduate school medical, engineering etc) and felt that it was physically overwhelming and would maybe be better to stay online for my health vs go in person for the social aspect?

I know this is a very personal choice and I am not looking to be convinced either way, just other peoples honest experiences. The thing is sometimes I can barely even go to the grocery store without coming home and having to recover for a day or so. My hope would be that my passion and drive would be enough for me to overcome it all and just go to school. Thanks for anyone who responds!

As a current 1L who had an Amazon wish list of things I asked my family and friends to buy as I was departing for law school. . . I am here to tell you that you don’t need majority of it. I use my laptop, white board, highlighters, pens, one binder for all class notes, a folder for extra documents, and a wine glass that says “Future Lawyer”. I would highly suggest starting off with just the basics until you know what you need and how you study. I have sooooo many notecards and sticky notes, legal pads, and notebooks that I don’t use. I barely sit at my desk anymore lol I’m either at the library, Barnes and Noble, on my couch, or in my bed. My book stand is only useful for my Civ Pro book because I use the online versions for my other classes. I’m not saying that you won’t use all of the things you’ll add to your wish list, I’m saying ask for gift cards/money instead and buy what you need as you need! Good luck on your journey ✨

i’m a sophomore majoring in advertising and minoring in political science. while I know you can major in anything and be pre-law I’m still concerned i potentially made a bad choice major-wise and if i should switch them around (minor in adv, major in poli sci) there is some advantage to being an advertising major, at least for me, one being GPA protection and the other being i wouldn’t mind going into the field if I ended up not wanting to pursue law for some reason. but I’m still worried i’m doing myself a potential disservice.

I'm currently a junior undergrad college student and I'm beginning to study for the LSAT and I can't seem to get past a 140- 165 is my goal to have a chance at the middle tier law schools in Downtown LA. I know a law school in my area that does not require the LSAT but that makes me feel like I'm giving up. I haven't really locked in with the LSAT- I just can't seem to understand LR and RC yet. Any advice? What would you do if you were in my position? Does going to a Name Brand Law School like UCLA or USC really make a difference in post grad success? I just need my JD degree.

Hello! I'm looking for someone who is willing to read my personal statement for law school and, preferably, critique it. I can't afford to pay a consultant on top of LSAT and application fees, and I also don't have any pre-law advisors at my university. I will be happy to return the favour if you like (my credentials are just that I'm an English Lit student and a former copy editor). If you have any general advice, that would also be very helpful, thank you!

I'm submitting some apps on Nov 1st, so I know the deadline is tight, but I've just gotten around to writing it with everything else going on. Thanks in advance!

Im in a tremendous amount of debt just from undergrad because I decided to go to one of the most expensive schools in my region just for prestige. Please don’t lecture me on it…I’m a double transfer and not about to transfer again. It is what it is…

But I need to go to law school to make it all worth it but don’t want to add onto my debt so I really need the best law school I can get into with the most amount of money.

I run my own business as a doula (a lot of client relations experience), have a decent GPA, going to get professional tutoring for LSAT, and started a cultural non-profit for diaspora children of the country my mother is from. I’m overwhelmed by everything and still scared it won’t be enough.

I’m talking full ride scholarship from a T-14. What else can I do? What may I be forgetting?
