Great epinion(s)... (Reply to this comment)
by smile7724
I haven't had to worry about the problem of getting re-admitted to law school because I'm still working on a Bachelor's degree and haven't even decided if I would be happy applying to law schools in the future. However, I'm storing tidbits of each of your law school articles in my memory bank for future perusal should I choose to eventually take that plunge.
Thanks once again for a great read! :-)

Epinions no longer tickets off-topic reviews, why should we take their word as to what is off-topic?
It seems to me, after reading the titles and descriptions of Should I go to Grad School and Applying to Law School, that this review belongs in the latter.
(I wanted to write this as a follow-up to one of my earlier comments on this review, but Epinions doesn't allow you to reply to your own comments. One could wish that they wouldn't allow users to comment on their own reviews except as a reply to other's comments, but I can see good reasons why that shouldn't be restricted.)

You're gonna make one heck of a lawyer (or mother--lol). You go girl! You're off to a great start judging from the way you handled those 'loafers'! Next time, they'll listen to you. Better believe it. :) Great review, Cate.

Well, Jim, if you had an email address on your profile page, I would have explained the essay placement through those means. However, because, you don't, I'll explain it to you in this forum:
All general grad school advice goes under the "Should I Go To Grad School?" subsection, with the exception of "Choosing a Law School" and "Applying to Law School" subcategories. This being characterized as general law school advice, the placement in the "Should I Go To Grad School?" category is appropriate. Peruse this section of the Education section and you will find the same.

Excellent review Cate (Reply to this comment)
by Suzer
I understand what you are saying and it sounds
very appropriate for the situation. A friend of
mine was a teacher, went to paralegal school, had a grade average in paralegal school of "B", proceeded on to law school. He fell below the requirements. He was devastated but later decided to become a therapist. He went ahead and got a Masters in Behavioral Therapy. Sometimes it is just a matter of finding your niche.

How to Apply to Law School rather than Should I Go to Grad School? If you move it (and I suggest moving some of your other reviews into the Law School categories), and E-mail me, I'll rerate.

Re: i've+heard+that... (Reply to this comment)
by nylawgirl
I've heard the same thing, in that the threshold for returning to a lower-tier school for the second year is higher - along the lines of having a 3.0 GPA in order to return, without benefit of a readmission hearing. Other schools will only give students the first semester to prove themselves and then show them the door. I heard all sorts of stories like that when I was applying, warning me away from certain safeties.
Because more selective schools are careful in who they admit, they are more willing to give the student the time to get their act together. I've tutored many first year students who had fallen below the minimum during their first semester, thus allowing them the time to find their rhythm and return for a second semester and, hopefully, a second year.

by soothsayer
while higher tier schools are selective when it comes to admission standards, "lower tier" law schools take the "admit 'em now, flunk 'em later" approach. is this generally true?
