Today, I got two doses of reality. I was trying to get into a study and I was turned down. It appears that my liver enzymes are too high, my thyroid levels are too low, and my tricyclides are out of whack. Everything is out of whack, really. I need to have an liver ultrasound to see if anything is wrong. I will wait and see what my GP says. damn.
I got rejected today from Santa Clara. It hurts and throws me for a loop. I am uncertain about any school accepting me. For the last few months, I have had only crickets. Nothing is encouraging. I have researched the numbers and it doesn't look good for me. I am considering giving up completely but I really want to go to law school. However, I have learned that a lot of people want to go to law school. Even though I work in the field, I never realized that the process was so competitive. It is unbelievable that some schools actually only take the people who score 85% or above on the test. Right now I am kicking myself for not studying more for the LSAT and concentrating more during college. When I went to college, I just wanted to get the degree, it never occured to me that the grades would follow me like a ghost.
What to do?

It's been a while since I posted. Lost in a maze, trying to decide what to do. The unexpected low LSAT score threw me for a loop. I never expected to score so low. It has been humbling and eye opening. I still want a change so I am crossing my finger and waiting for an acceptance. Miracles do happen.
In Feb., I applied to 7 schools
3- Completely Out of Reach
Santa Clara
Pepperdine
San Diego
2 maybe
South Texas
University of Houston
Cleveland State
2 it could happen
Texas Wesleyan
California Western
I have talked with two admissions consultants and gotten some advice. Both were not too optimistic but still encouraged me to apply to some of the lower schools. I am even considering one of the conditional admissions program, i.e., Florida Coastal, NY LEO, or Thomas Jefferson.
I didn't expect this process to be so stressful or long. I haven't heard back from one school. I expected the immediate rejections within a month. Santa Clara, San Diego and Pepperdine should just stop laughing and send the reject letters so I can get on with other plans. I can understand the other schools thinking about my application but I don't get these 3 taking forever to make a negative decision.
My hubby, I call him Red, is getting anxious too. He wants to move to a bigger city and start over. Unfortunately, he's counting on me to make the move and change our lives. I am ashamed to tell him that his plans may be changing soon.
