Additional info & updates

Graduated from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 06'. Took the LSAT in 06' Accepted at Thomas M. Cooley Law school. Matriculated in fall 06' spent 1 horrible year (of my life and money) there and dropped out. Worked as a industrial salesman. Started working as a paralegal. I always wanted to go back to law school and do it right. Not transfering, I'm starting from scratch.

150 on the June LSAT boooo that. I have a diagnosed LD and received extra time on the GRE, in undergrad, and during my brief stint in law school. Like a fool I did not even apply for accommodations for the LSAT. I think I am going to shoot for that and try one last time.

I changed myself to nontraditional. Technically the time that I have been out of school puts me into the "non trad" braket in terms of application age. Add into that the fact that I have A.) Already attended law school once, dropped out, and now have to decided to go back and B.) have a diagnosed learning disability I think I can consider myself nontraditional.

Trust me, there are fewer of them than you think. Also just because a person has political leanings one way or another does not affect their ability to fairly practice, to judge impartially from the bench, perhaps yes, but to simply practice, no.

just wondering?

Was it the school (Cooley) or the LD that hindered your performance/experience?
