I'm still waiting on UofH, but its good to know that I will be starting somewhere come fall!

Congrats! I've been accepted to SMU but I am also waiting on U of H. My status checker has changed to "In Review" once again, this time with yesterday's date. I'm hoping to hear soon. Good Luck!

Congrats to you to. My file is just listed as "file complete" so it hasn't entered the review process yet. Good luck w/ getting into UofH

My best friend transferred from STCL to Georgetown after his first year. It may not be the end of the line for you even if you start there!

There are already enough damn lawyers in the world today.

Congrats. Does not really matter where you go as long as you do well. It's all about getting clients if you really want to make the money.

hey i remember getting my acceptance letter to law school. may as well have come with a gram of cocaine in it! enjoy.

Congrats. Best decision I ever made was leaving after the first semster. Law school was not for me.

I have heard that from multiple people, I am pretty sure that wont happen to me (although I wont know until I start) but this is what I've wanted to do since high school. And I know what it involves, my mom went thru law school when I was in jr. high so I remember how hard she had to work.

And yes I know there are too many lawyers...but I don't plan on becoming the next Jim Adler or anything like that, I want to get into sport law (doesn't everyone though?)

congrats and good luck bud...i'm at UH right now...hoping this pays off

STCL accepts anyone these days. I remember one dude in my section graduated from the University of Phoenix, no lie. Dude didn't make it through the first semester but he got in. Do well your first year so you grade on to law review and have access to their outline bank or just befriend a law review member. Makes the remaining years cake. And just remember your legal career and reputation begin the first day of law school.

Thanks. That sounds like what my mom has been saying for the past couple years. She went to STCL, so I hear everyday about how hard the school will be.

I'm at 3L at STCL. Graduating in May. I don't agree with Revival. There's not much notoriety with the South Texas law review. Unless you know you want to hang your own shingle or have something lined up already, best advice is to make great grades your first year and start working with some judges. While being able to write well is important, good grades and experience carries much more weight.

I'm going to work for a firm downtown and passed on the law review offer. Best decision I made in law school.

Plus, with 40Nations.com, the law review outline bank is a thing of the past.

Just my two cents from a graduating 3L. GL.

If you grade on to law review, you need to do it. If not, try to write on. Some firms will not even interview you if you are not/were not in law review. Grades are very important too.

Congrats!

My buddy wants to go there. He always winds up in a conversation with some law student or recent law grad at the bars. He says every single one tells him not to go to law school...

bootstrap bill...i told him that last night

tularosa05...?

T.W.? Must be

nope not TW...used to live with him though

L.D.?

...I'm stumped.

Ya, pretty much every single lawyer or law student I have talked to just tells me its not too late to back out or don't do or something along those lines.

turner...yea LD...what's up? you been hittin the slopes over there?

Been skiing quite a bit. Haven't been in a couple of weeks, but I have two more big trips before I get back to Texas.

I graduated from the South Texas College of LAWL

I graduated from the South Hampton Institute of Technology.

You know what that spells?

Be absolutely certain that this is what you want to do. There are very, very few jobs available b/c the market is so saturated. Many new lawyers have to throw out their shingle because there is nothing else out there. The majority of lawyers I know are unhappy people. It's a miserable profession.

We have a similar resource site at UH, but the Law Review outline bank is far superior.

Looking back, I wouldn't advise financing a large chunk of your legal education unless you were going to UH or better given how awful the market is.

Im not worried about the financing part. I have that taken care of.
