Okay.... so I've been a little remiss in keeping this stupid blog up to date regarding the whole law school thing.
I visited Texas Wesleyan a couple a weekends ago, and was marginally impressed. I think the way the preview day was organized and the information that we were given is a really good indication of what life would be in that law school (i.e. expensive and perkless until graduation).
One of the really cool requirements for graduation from TWU is that every student must do 30 hours of pro bono work.
TWU is also all of 20 minutes away from my brother and his family. If I choose that law school hopefully that'll translate into more time with my nephew and my niece.
I was rejected at two of the seven schools I applied to, and I'm not really surprised. Furthermore I'm okay with that because fewer options = less stress. Decisions that are complex enough to require matrix analysis are NOT my strong point. You really should hear the office discussions regarding lunch every day.
I've been accepted at Loyala New Orleans. I've also been provisionally accepted at Quinnipiac (i.e. start part time and transfer to the full-time program at the end of the year).
So the N.O. school is appealing because I would be living in the city during the rebuilding efforts.
Quinnipiac is appealing because they have a program in healthcare law and a study abroad program in Ireland for the summers. There is also the possibility of interning in NYC (it may be a remote one, but I think that is the most likely school for that possibility in my case).
