Congratulations counselor

Thanks for the positive spin, I would say 90% of the videos out there are still from the old mindset. Nice to see people excited to learn and pursue a passion.

As a rising 1L, I appreciate your videos A LOT. I haven't been able to find people who were willing to share their experience, and this is very helpful. Very much looking forward to your future videos. Thanks again!

Wow she really did make me feel better about my decision to go to law school! I was thinking everyone is miserable there but to see that some people enjoy it, is great. Also made me excited for the potential classes i could take.

She’s such a lovely and positive person don’t you think? :)

great video! I think this will help lots of people who are considering law school.

I think if I went straight through, I would have been really burnt out. I did take over a decade off, but it really gave me time to ensure that the huge financial plunge is worth it! Thanks for the video and I can't wait to watch more.

What Anna said about combining logical reasoning from math, with the skills used in writing and analyzing texts is the same reason I'm thinking a lot about law even though I'm a junior studying computer science. I can't see myself developing software for much longer. Law may be the answer...

Loved this video!! It was super informative and helpful! I’ve been trying to decide if I should take a break after I graduate college or go straight to law school and learning more about law school definitely helped a lot. Thanks for sharing all that info!!

You know when I first started watching your channel, I couldn't really appreciate this video because I was far too early in the admissions process. But now I realize it is such a gem of a video haha. Incoming 1L at a T14 and everything you guys said strongly resonated with me, from the perspective working gives you on school, to the shock of transitioning from a very exploratory undergraduate program to a more analytical kind of law school education, etc. Amazing video

Aweee your friendship is so cute! I wish I had a close friend that wanted to go to law school and would support me and offer me advice!

This was such a great and helpful video for me! Starting law school this fall. Love your channel while prepping. keep them coming:)

when I was in college I did some legal internships (in governments and whatnot) and was like wtf the world is so dark this is not for me (especially when I got a 167 I was like this is not for me lol). fast forward after working for two years (during which I stumbled upon your channel), having taken my GRE and applied to MA programs, I suddenly thought hmm I miss the LSAT. so I studied and now have a 170+ and have turned down the MA offers and will be applying to law school next year! and now I'm watching your videos again with a totally different mindset, knowing that Duke is my dream school and putting myself in an incoming 1L's shoes.

Wow! Thank you a lot for making this. I am actually considering law school, and, I thought I was maybe just... crazy... But, hearing your friend say how taking a few years off after undergrad school (which I did! Which is what made me MORE nervous!) can actually be a GOOD thing? That made me feel a lot better, that it may be something to my advantage, rather than my hindrance. 🙏💙

i LOVE torts! also I went straight through, but still am finding law school a lot more enjoyable than undergrad

ahahah I actually loved torts! it was my highest mark in my first year!

I’m in high school, and at my high school we have academies. I’m in the academy of Law and Public Safety. In three years, I’ve learned basics of criminal, civil, family, & contract law. The point of me saying all this is that I have interest in law, however I’m still really confused :// how do you know if you’re fit for law? && what do you even major in undergrad. I really appreciate this video!! It’s really cool to see someone who was also unsure about law in high school

Stanford and Duke are T14 schools. Stanford is super hard to get into. I think the acceptance rate is in the teens.

You said in other videos that it is important to take our own notes- are there some tips for you to take good notes? Do you just write down everything? Also, are there some things you wish you had known (specifically a month lol ) before you started your first year? What is your daily routine like?

@FortheTimeBeingchannel

6 жыл бұрын

Hey Gabbie, I have videos on both of those topics :) check them out on my channel! For note-taking, I actually take most of my notes before class while reading the cases. Then during class I will add relevant notes from the professors or good points from other students

This video was really informative... so I’ve been considering going to law school. However, if I’ve already taken a gap year between high school and college (took a year off of school to work and figure life out basically) do you think it would be beneficial to take another year off between undergrad and law school? Thx :D

Great video but can’t hear name of the recommended class after 18 minute mark. Thanks.

Great video! Thank you for making all of these. My question is about the classes and the way they were structured. Were the classes basically the professor saying "read these cases" and "read this section of the book"? Or was there actual teaching?

@FortheTimeBeingchannel

5 жыл бұрын

In my classes, the professor will assign reading to be completed before the class (usually a series of cases). Then during the class, the professor will explain the cases (or all on students to explain why cases were decided the way they were) and draw connections between them, basically.

I need your help. I really want to apply for law school. I don't know where to start. It seems so complicated

I am currently in law school taking Constitution law. My school divides it up into Con I and II. Im in Con I dealing with the separation of powers etc. I am bored to death and does not help its the professors 1st time teaching the course. How do you suggest to stay engaged when you absolutely cannot get pumped up about the subject matter??

@FortheTimeBeingchannel

5 жыл бұрын

It’s definitely a struggle for me too sometimes! For Conlaw I think it can help to think about the ways in which these rules are operating and being challenged in our current state. For example, the power of the Supreme Court to decide issues that some people think should fall within the legislative realm only, or whether Trump can fire Mueller since Mueller is within the executive branch, all have implications within the separation of powers doctrine.

I am from San Diego, CA and I would like to get in touch with either of them to ask them some questions before applying for law school. I am currently working towards my GED but I am interested in being an attorney. It is important to me to ask these questions please contact me the soonest possible.

Get a bachelors degree with a good GPA (3.6 or higher). During your senior year of your undergrad, study for and take the LSAT. Visit and tour law schools. Get at least 3 letter of recommendations. Apply through LSAC.org. Wait for decisions. Get accepted. Make deposit on the school you choose. Attend!

@andersonportillo3730

The next step is getting a bachelor degree with a high gpa like 3.5 and above. Then, study for the LSAT exam and score high on the exam. I would say try different job experiences or obtaining a higher education before going to law school, because both of these students previously worked in a different field. I would not jump right ahead to law school, because you first have to find yourself.

WAIT, you don't get grades at Stanford?

There are many reasons. To expand your mental horizons and learn different ways of problem-solving, for one. Some lawyers, like patent specialists, also benefit from having a scientific or technical background. Finally, there are people who simply want to pursue other intellectual interests or are interested in trying out different careers and would like to have a few different skill sets and substantive expertise areas under their belt.
