I didn't get in!!!

I am really upset today, I did not get accepted into Hofstra Law School.
I don't know why, I know I had the decent grades to get in, well maybe my
LSAT score wasn't so good (150) but I thought they looked at more than
that!!! I only applied to Hofstra and St. Johns, but I feel that if Hofstra did
not take me, then neither will St. Johns. I didn't really look up that many
schools while I was applying and I came across CUNY law school and
Touro Law, they seem like good schools and I still have time to apply to
both. Cuny's deadline is 3/14 and Touro is 5/1 to be considered priority.
I just wanted to know if anyone had graduated from any one of these two
schools, their experiences, how these schools rank compared to others
in the area. Overall, whether they think the schools are good. I know I am
asking for alot, but if anyone has any info, I would deeply appreciate it.
Thanks

Just wanted to say good luck. From what I've heard, law school and grad school applicants have been on the rise in the past few years, so maybe that had something to do with it. It will work out for you!!

For some reason I want to say that Rob-luvs-me graduated from Touro Law.

There was a thread a month or two ago on where people graduated and I know I saw that school.

Good luck!

I don't know, but hang in there!

Just want to give you hugs

Here is the thread I was talking aboutCollege Thread

These brides all went to Touro

Rob-luvs-me

I sent you FM.

New York Law is another law school to consider -

I just looked on their website -

www.nyls.edu

and it says this for deadline -

Applicants should submit application materials before April 1 to receive priority consideration. We cannot guarantee available space in the first-year law class beyond this date.

Oh I'm so sorry
I went to CUNY and so did another bride on here. I just sent you a FM

to you and the best of luck.

ps - cooky your avatar is great.

Sorry to hear that! Good Luck with whatever you decide

I'm sorry.

I didn't get into the the 'good' MBA programs- I go to CUNY - dont' feel bad- reputation will only get you so far- you have to have the smarts and you will go far!

Good Luck!!!!

i'm sorry i've heard law school admissions is ALL about the numbers. which is stupid b/c they say nothing about anything really, but oh well. good luck with everything. i'm sure it will all work out in the end.

Gaby, so sorry to hear that. Definitely check out CUNY - a colleague (and future partner of mine) here went there. It really doesn't matter what school you go to - it's not an indication of what kind of lawyer you'll be, and with the job market the way it is, the competition is fierce no matter from where you graduated. Plus, the added bonus of CUNY is that you pay far less and have far less debt than many of the other private schools.

St. John's may still very well accept you. It's also a good school and I know other successful attorneys who graduated from there. I almost wound up there, myself.

Bottom line - if you graduate law school and pass the bar, you're as much of a lawyer as the top graduate at Harvard.

Good luck!

Thank you everyone!!! I will apply to Touro and CUNY (and still have to
wait for St.Johns reply) and see what happens. I think that no matter what
school I go to, I will be the only one to make my experience a positive or
negative one!!!! what matters to me is maintaining good grades, being able
to learn, and most importantly, to be able to pass the Bar exam on the
first try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that it is important to go to a 'good school'
and that it would probably enable me to have better job opportunities, but
a JD is a JD and as long as I am able to practice law and make a difference
that is what is important to me. I also feel that some schools have their
hits and misses, for example I was looking at the Touro website and have
found that they have a pretty good Internationa and Publice Interest law
program, which are the two possiblities I am looking into. Hofstra didn't
really offer too many options in International Law, well, at least according to
what I researched. So I guess these things happen for a reason. Maybe
I will get a better experience at another school. Once again, thanks everyone
for your words of encouragment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
