Hi everyone, I just wanted to state that I have been accepted to law school in Florida. Without going into too many specifics, I was accepted what is considered the highest ranked school in the state per US News.
I graduated from UMPI last year with a 3.95 GPA. I was able to do alternative credit with Sophia and 75 credits at UMPI (I did a minor as well) in less than a year while being on the deans list for 3 semesters. While law school was always a dream, I was not able to attend college prior to finding Cliff Stumme's youtube channel (I'm not naming it in case its against the rules). I graduated from UMPI with 3k in student loans.
I did the LSAT twice and my highest score was 160, while my lowest was 156. I believe I could have scored higher the second time but I was ill when I retook the exam and could not concentrate (thyroid issues). My LSAC GPA was weighted at over 4.10. I applied to 3 schools in Florida and two in my state, and was waitlisted at one Florida school and accepted at my reach school just last week.
I was recently married and we have children and while this move is challenging we're excited to move because it has been my dream for over 20 years. I have already accepted and started the process of moving including putting our house on the market and finding a home in FL. Financially it might be a bit tight but we do have some savings, equity and family to assist. I did not get a scholarship as I was slightly below the schools medians in terms of LSAT score but law school will cost me about 90K in total with all factors considered (changing to instate next year etc).
I can submit proof to moderators if need and if anyone has any questions I can answer when I can.
I had to create a new account to post this because the password reset option did not work.
