Soooo.... if people have disdain for Howard on this thread.... and are tired of waiting.... can y'all withdraw? (I know some of y'all have) ... or when you finally get your decision ... if it's a rejection, will you use it to justify your bashing? or if it's an admittance, will you act like you didnt bash them and accept their offer and still go? I'm seriously curious about this dynamic with HUSL.

addition:

y'all. i honestly get the frustration of the whole situation and waiting. what i dont understand is the smiling in the face to turn around and bash or the tinge of confusion of why it's taking so long when this is on par???

I had no idea she was going around on burners🤣🤣🤣🤣 the lack of professionalism is fmu🤣. I need more tea yall

Howard is so ridiculous you have to just laugh atp. Applied 6 months ago and I’ve gotten emails about book tours, office hours, family deaths, and reading lists and not one about a decision. I’m at the point where I see an email from them and just sigh.

i registered for the office hours for yesterday but it slipped my mind and i missed it! did anyone attend, and if so did she say anything about decisions timelines/ where they are in terms of applicants? or anything helpful mentioned at all?

This application cycle has been one for the books! Law school has been getting way more competitive. Schools are taking a while to get decisions and scholarship offers are not the best.

During this time it’s most important that you enjoy the free time you have. You don’t need to constantly check your email, LawHub will email you for a status change. Also stop comparing your timeline to other people, everyone hears back at different times.

Please take this time to get in shape (lol yes you get the freshman 15 in law school), get your mental health together, and spend time with your friends and family before you leave for school. Read something for fun too, you won’t have much time for that soon.

You’re going to be constantly on go while in law school, please enjoy this time even if you’re waiting on decisions. You can’t force one but you can take care of yourself and focus on getting prepared. Go to school events, look for apartments just in case, figure out cost of living, roommates, and start budgeting now because loans hit different. Set up things like new doctors and a pharmacy. 1L is called 1Hell for a reason.

Also be kind on here, you’re building your reputation now. People can put two and two together and you won’t want that reputation. At the end of the day we’re all trying to become lawyers. Go outside and TOUCH GRASS.

I saw someone ask this about a different school and thought I’d do the same!!

But these update emails make me jump and my stomach drop every time I see one. But I’m yet hanging on😮‍💨

Waitlisted April 16th. Applied January 28th. Stats: LSAT:152 GPA:3.2 10 years experience in local government/ public service. SHRM-CP certified. Masters degree.

hi i’m looking for a tutor that can help me boost from my score from a 148 to a 165+, i’m aiming to take the August and September LSAT and want to reapply for this upcoming cycle. please dm me with your page, rates, reviews, etc.

Hey all, I’m slightly leaning towards R and R. I hope to do impact litigation one day and unfortunately it seems fairly gate-kept which really sucks. I’m so grateful for my acceptances so far and the school I deposited at has interesting clinics, and gave me a very good scholarship. But it was a safety tbh and I’m afraid it won’t take me where I need to go which is gate kept by clerkships and is dominated by t14s.

I also don’t feel super proud about this whole process I’ve felt super stressed between loan changes, job searching, family issues, work problems etc. it’s been a tough year and I applied locally which set me back a lot.

My only problem is I would need to find a new job. My current job is working night shift as court staff and it’s been a very stressful environment with low pay and bad supervisors. I can’t even transfer units because you need informal permission to do so and management will definitely try to sabotage transferring.

I have one LSAT attempt left, my best score is a 167. I would need a 170 plus.

Does job hopping look bad to law school admissions ?

I applied to TSU / FAMU /NCCU WITH A 143 LSAT , 3.55 GPA. I am being positive but still haven’t heard back. has anyone with similar stats heard back?

just checked out the housing options and where are yall going to live? lol

I am beyond blessed to have received another A and lucky enough to have received a $ 90k scholarship. As excited I am for this opportunity, but I am understandingly nervous about it being a conditional scholarship and the still high cost left due to leftover tuition + COA.

I am aspiring to work in-house in sports/entertainment or with a talent agency, with a potential salary cap, and I am pulled in by their prime location in Brooklyn, hopefully allowing me to be closer to opportunities while still in school. New York is a place I would be okay with practicing, but I also have Texas Tech as an option, which is my home state. Somewhere else I’d be happy to practice, which is only $ 25k a year to attend, but they lack a sports law-focused program like how my other options do. I have my seat deposit down currently into Marquette ($39k a year ) as well, which is known for their sports program that is amazing, but I hated the city when I visited and have zero desire to practice there or in the Midwest.

I’m riding the waitlist at my dream school (UMiami ) and still pending post-interview at ASU, which is also a goal school of mine.

I’m needing to narrow down schools and don’t have any lawyers or current law students in my life, so I appreciate anyone who read this long post and could offer some advice on what they’d do or schools they’d cross off.
