Why are you no longer in law school?? Asking for someone who just applied and nervous

Hi, you just made me feel so much better! I recently quit my job to study and have been feeling like a loser, so it’s nice to see someone on the other side of that.

I FULLY feel you on the embarrassment part! Law school was always apart of the plan since I was a kid. During my sophomore and junior year of undergrad I didn't feel it in my heart anymore. I always love politics and decide to go that route until the internship I was betting on didn't fall through. Being embarrassed and confused with not having a goal or a job lined up after graduation scared me because I always had a plan. Yet during my last semester my professor kept putting the idea of law back on the table. I decided to go to law school and being studying for the lsat since August. Thank you for being honest with your story because this journey isn't for the weak and is hard.

being on reddit almost made me have a panic attack and turn my college life upside down because they said criminal justice majors are useless and tacky and I thought I was going to like a fool applying to college even though I was put on the dean's list, invited to an honor's society, and have lead organizations

So unbelievably glad I found this video, I’m a fellow screenwriting undergrad major pursuing entertainment law! About to take the LSAT for the second time on Monday and apply to schools later this month. We have super similar stats so this was really, really, REALLY inspiring as I prepare to be done with this stupid test and send my applications in 😭 Thanks so much for sharing your journey!!! ❤

What book do you recommend for learning? And what book to test? And what part do you think I should start with?

[alanis]

the way your eyes brightened up when you said you got accepted 🎉 Congrats!

So what was your dream law school? You never said the name of it 😘

[Bunny.burnout]

I love this! Could you make a video on self studying tips for the LSAT?

Hi, Patty. Finding your account on TikTok, following you and now learning your past made me feel like this is a call from God, just like you, we are similar. I had a difficult past, and had to sit for an exam which doesn't allow me to get myself into a Law School. My second option was Scriptwriting, and now, I'm doing Media Production, which as what you've mentioned, our route alikely different. Despite doing Scriptwriting, my heart yearns and felt heavy everytime anyone mentions Law or anything related to Law School and at one point, I was depressed. Your video, this video gave me hope, that one day, with this Degree I'm doing, I would be able to get into Law School. It would take longer than I expected, but still I can get in. Being older than the majority, is not wrong or something to be embarrased about, thank you for the reminders. Thank you for making me feel better, or at least lifting this burden in my heavy heart for at least once after almost five years. Sending you so much love! xx

Did you get full ride scholarship or you had to apply for loan?

[jay-argonzales]

As a teen boy, i see my self in you😭 i dont wanna waste time.

The country I'm in has a different standardised law test (not the LSAT) but it's still highly competitive, and i attempted it once last year but didn't get in :( funnily what you said in the video were the exact things i was told too ("law is a long career, a gap year or two won't really matter, you just have to believe in yourself") and it's comforting to know that despite our regional and social differences, we can relate on this one thing :D i'm taking a gap year rn and my test will be held in december, and what you said about believing that is has to happen, there's no way it won't, you just gotta put in the effort- it really comforted me. all the best for law school, i hope i get into my dream university like you! <33

Omg so glad i found this channel as i enter my law school journey!

[crosswhitney]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Encouraging for us who don’t follow the exact “traditional” path and have the most stellar LSAT scores. Getting ready to test in June and so so nervous! Would love to know more about what law school is like!

[BeagleFeatures]

I didn’t know you had a YouTube channel, Patty. Although I’m still sticking to the creative side of the entertainment industry, it’s great to see that you found something you love and are passionate about

[rodoshihasan]

I don't usually comment on videos but I could not stop on this one. I felt every single word you said about being a first gen and being afraid. As a first-generation, dreaming of big goals feels impossible. I would love to know more about the process and what helped you during your Lsat prep. What resources did you use and how you were able to score higher over time. Thank you for your vulnerability!

[nicholasleon]

your story and mine have some similarities! I also took the LSAT and got a score that was lower than I knew I could achieve and used it to apply to schools and got accepted to one I wasn't actually jazzed about. For me, at my job there was a near-death experience and that really made me investigate if i was gonna settle, so i redid the LSAT, got a 99th percentile score, and I am about to reapply, apps literally open tomorrow

As someone who did the arts it's so nice to see someone who transitioned from the arts as well.
