Rejected
So...got rejected from Ohio State today. I was expecting this one because of it being the highest ranked that I applied to, but it still sucked.
Currently I am debating whether or not to even go to law school next year. If the only schools I get into are Catholic (unsure), Univ. of Toledo (sure), and Seattle (unsure) there is some decision-making to do. Gabe won't commit to anything city-wise as it stands. The stigma of me going to #97 CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA doesn't really sit well in my mind (why couldn't they have called it something else like Notre Dame...oh wait, that's taken). And University of Toledo is ranked #85 and super cheap, but its TOLEDO--the last thing I want to do is go back there. The other school I have to hear back from is Case Western, and I'm not really sure if I'm going to be optimistic or pessimistic about that one. Case's median full-time LSAT last year was 159, and median GPA was 3.37, so with a 158 and 3.62 it looks alright but by no means a sure thing. Unfortunately I won't hear from them until after I have to pay UT.
If I don't go to law school, I can't start a job until the fall because of my super awesome amazing incredible trip I'm starting to plan to Spain for August, so I'd be on the back burner of decent college grad jobs. Not to mention having to start paying off fucking student loans that I can't afford to begin to think about. Also, having to fit taking the LSAT in again despite my swearing up one side and down the other that I'd never take it again no matter how badly I did because it sucks so bad--but obviously there' s no point in trying again with the same exact score so either take it again or don't go to a decent law school that I'd actually care to give my money to I guess. So like I said...decision making to do. Anybody want to make those decisions for me?!
It's amazing that GPA matters so little to law schools compared to grad schools. People get into these sweet grad/business schools who haven't done as well as me grade-wise, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I think the system is fucked up. Not to mention all the other fabulous loop holes--I by no means want to take advantage of them, I just want them not to exist. No gender/race/religion/ethnicity/etc. boxes so that way everyone has an even playing field.
Fuck this whole process--especially the Law School Admissions Counsel and the LSAT despite it being a piece of paper. Fuck GW--I hate caring about my grades for the last semester of college in sucky classes that are too much work for very little actual educational value and cost too much money to attend. Screw Gabe for being a turd about almost everything future-related.
I realize that in the long run everything will be "OK," but if I wanted "OK" I would've been doing things differently all along.
I CANNOT WAIT TO GO HOME THIS WEEKEND! RED ROBIN, JED'S, FAMILY, ZEEK & WYLE, BRANDI & KIM & LYNZ, BRIAN & LISH, CHEAP SHOPPING, EASTER CANDY, DRIVING, EASTER DINNER---ALL GOOD THINGS.
