Thanks guys. I'm trying to expand my horizons. I do not have anything keeping me in a particular market. I am a NC resident, howevever, for what it is worth.
I am a
non-trad with approx. 12 years of professional marketing and corporate training experience. I'm a published writer with a few academic and professional writing awards.
There is a huge gap between my first two years in college and my latter two. It looks like I'll make it out of an HBCU with a
3.5-3.6 with a major in English and minor in Philosophy. I have two LORs finished thanks to a former employer and a prof. I am working on a third.
I think I bring a clarity of purpose and a diversity of perspective and culture. I also like to think my Statement will be solid.
My interest is in employment and labor law. Ideally I would like to attend a ls with ties to a strong research institution that provides a PhD program in labor/international/political philosophy or the like. I would like to combine my outreach experience with formal legal training and academic research for, maybe, something in policy or government? I'm open to the end result. Got to leave some room for fate.
My
LSAT is 156 and I'ma ride or die with it because I'm only taking it once.
Currently on my radar:
UIUC
University of Arkansas - Fay
UNC
NCCU
Seattle U
TulaneI am hoping for any and all reccomendations of other schools I should research. I am open to location but would love the pacific northwest or the east coast.
Ultimately, my number one concern after do I stand a chance of acceptance is
MONEY!!!! Cost of living, liberal scholarships, etc.
Thanks.
