Law School Decisions Reactions 2021, Cycle Recap + Where I'm Going to Law School!!

[@ethanbittner2795]

Why didn’t u apply to umich? I thought it was T14

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

I did! I think I forgot to mention it! I was waitlisted lol

[@Leo-rb9sp]

Thanks for doing this! There is so much of these reaction vid for undergrad but barely for any law school.

[@MellyXNY]

congratulations! 2 T14 acceptances is absolutely AMAZING! Go Big Red!

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

thank you!!

[@esayasaraya874]

deciphered-----lsat score was a 171

[@leemcmullan]

I heard this was the toughest admissions ever in history so don't feel bad. In the end, THEIR LOSS!! Not yours! I love Cornell (reminds me of Andy Bernard from "the office") Congratulations!!

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

Awww thank you! I am truly so happy at Cornell now so it's good proof that things work out for the best

[@randomvideos_658]

What's the secrecy around sharing an LSAT score? That's why we watch, to gauge where people got accepted and with what gpa to see what our chances are with our stats. Congrats on the acceptances .

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

I think it's just a personal preference. I sometimes feel like people judge you based on LSAT score (whether it's too high or too low) in a way that is different than GPA, and I'd like to avoid that :)

[@randomvideos_658]

@@GabrielleNoelle2 Ah ok, makes sense. Congrats again 😀

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

@@randomvideos_658 Thank you!

[@bbears1072]

she said it's above median at nyu, so probably 171-2. Saying your Lsat score is not that big of a deal.

[@ceryndipity9478]

@@GabrielleNoelle2 it kind of doesn’t matter practically for other applicants what your experience was if you don’t share your stats- it’s just a list of schools and a face that has no context at all. I guess it’s fine to have a little video journal for posterity, but it’s not very helpful for anyone else

[@roshandeshmukh3749]

Well, I know how it feels like. I went through all this hassle too! after a lot of rejections, waitlists, and acceptance I have decided to go to the University of Texas for my MS in CS this fall! :)

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

Congratulations! Yup definitely a similar feeling haha

[@megandrynan6080]

Congratulations! That's a really amazing accomplishment.

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

Thank you so much!

[@jakemoseley1811]

I have a suggestion. I had a girlfriend who clerked at the supremes. At her law school she had the highest grades ever recorded. She told me that on exams she just regurgitated what professors said in class, never tilting to impose her own opinions. One advantage was that she taught herself shorthand in high school. So she could take verbatim notes. Writing down your notes rather than simply recording lectures helps stick it in your brain, I think. She also found shorthand useful when she worked as a lawyer. It doesn’t take that long to learn shorthand.

congrats i’m literally in the process now

Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing!

[@traetl1177]

Where did you go for undergrad? Also, does perceived rigor of an undergraduate school compensate for a lower GPA?

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

I went to Emory for undergrad. Schools say that undergraduate doesn't matter, but I do think that they often do compensate for lower GPA. However, GPA is still important to them regardless of where you went or what you studied!

[@traetl1177]

@@GabrielleNoelle2 oh that’s so cool! I actually go to Georgia Tech and considered going to Emory. I have a 3.84 GPA as a junior but realistically the highest I can graduate with is 3.8. Best of luck at Cornell!

@@GabrielleNoelle2 I'm applying ED to Emory Law this week! Did you like your time there?

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

@@valeriejanepallos2535 Definitely! I went for undergrad, not law school but I had such a good time and really enjoyed Atlanta

[@yesiknow381]

How long did you wait after graduating college to apply to law school. In your opinion, do you think law schools prefer potential students to have applied right after college or to have applied after some work experience in your field.

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

I took a year off to work, they definitely prefer students who have worked and firms certainly do too

[@yesiknow381]

@@GabrielleNoelle2 thank you and good luck at law school.

[@lammichael767]

From the UK here and also deciding between duke and Cornell for my LLM😅 I have never been so torn in my life so can you share more about your thought process behind picking Cornell? I would love to chat about this

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

I'm not super aware of the differences between the LLM and JD programs at each school so take my advice with a grain of salt. However, I can speak to my experience that I just was more excited about Cornell than Duke! I felt I could relate to students better and also that the outcomes and school culture were more similar to what I wanted.

[@JO-sg5kd]

Thanks for this video! When did you submit your apps? Appreciate your help :)

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

I submitted in late october through early december! Cornell was the last app I submitted around December 5th I think?

[@JO-sg5kd]

@@GabrielleNoelle2 Thanks so much! And I wanted to know how your lsat study timeline was and what advice you'd give to those who are really struggling

[@GabrielleNoelle2]

@@JO-sg5kd I have a whole video on my LSAT journey if you want to look at that with all of my advice! Let me know if you have any questions :)
