Law School Admissions / can you defer at two schools? Plus, watch as I have a nervous breakdown
« on: December 05, 2006, 10:04:28 PM »
Ive searched this board and I cannot seem to find a decisive answer to this question. Can you defer at two schools?
I currently have been accepted to
A) La Verne
B) Thomas Jefferson
Pending Apps:
A) Whittier
B) Chapman
La Verne has been very understanding about possibly defering. TJ, on the other hand, they seem more annoyed by it.
They still say I can do it, and claim, I may or may not get the fin aid scholarship they have awarded if I defer.
La Verne claims I will not lose the scholarship and I am free to choose full time or part time program for fall.
I feel like I am being rushed to make a decision. TJ wants a decision by monday, and La Verne wants one by the 20th.Spring term begins in a month and I do not think I am mentally prepared for the rigorous and intense experience of law school just yet.Getting to law school has been quite a journey for me and I just want to catch my breath before I start an even bigger challenge. I want to dedicate myself completly to it. I am even thinking about working full time this spring, summer, saving as much as I can, and then quitting my job. Then, I will begin law school full time, and focus all my time and effort onto that. Does that sound better than Working and going to school part time?
*Sigh* I haven't even gotten an answer from 2 schools yet. Sorry, for the rant. I am soo soo stressed. I thought the stress would end when I got accepted. Boy was I wrong.
In conclusion, Is it possible to defer to both TJ and La verne?
