blackpride (2022-2023)

black pride?? man you racist! lol jk. Our strategies are very similar CAST A WIDE NET. I see you dont like the south though whats up with that?? Also dont forget the HBCU's those are your safety schools. No matter what you know you gonna get in somewhere. Nice to see another black man on here. Peace

I want to live in the south so I'm focusing there. Real estate is cheap, weather is beautiful all year, money goes further and the hunnies look better too. All my applications besides two have been sent. SEND YOUR NOW..you need to be at the head of the line so they can show you mercy!!! Don't wait!

thanks for the advice but i have taken lsat 3 times already, i figure i'd get a little help from my urm status and just need to get in one of the schools

to you too! I really want to get into UPenn as well!

...the negative comments. everyone's situation IS different and there are schools that don't just look at the hard numbers. i have a friend that got into Georgia State Law with a 2.71 GPA and a 142 LSAT score. all things are possible! good luck! :)

I mean, what kind of black woman would I be if I didn't support our black men?? Go get 'em! :)

Nowhere. Applying all over again.

thanks, good luck with your cycle too

How goes the cycle thus far? I see that the waiting is killiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing you...lol. I felt the same way waiting for my score. I guess I don't feel so anxious about waiting for the acceptance/rejections because I just submitted my applications last night and this morning, but to be honest...I've already checked the status of them like 5 times today...lol. I didn't expect anything to change, but still...lol. You might want to put Florida Coastal School of Law on your list and apply there. I have a friend that got in with a 142.

I did "so so". 156. The "intend to apply" schools aren't really strong contenders. I guess I should still apply to them. The wider the net, the more likely someone will bite, huh? Sitting here researching more schools as we speak. I'm eliminating schools that only offer dual programs. I already have a Masters degree and don't really want another.

U penn is your top choice? I am not trying to negative and I truly wish you the best, but That's not gonna happen. I live in penn and I attended Penn state and my alma mater wont even accept ME in there Law School ( but accepted me for them masters program). I know you're trying to get in on affirmative action, but AA simply doesn't work that way. Again ,am not trying to be negative because we both have low lsat scores. But you have to be realistic with your self. And using the " I was poor" theme is not gonna work with the admissions staff. You have to build a narrative about how you overcame you're struggles, not about how you're struggles kept you back. Again, I am not trying to be negative, Im just trying to give some advice

Thanks !! are u taking it over ?

+ 1 to Cooljack I wish you the best of luck man, but I'd retake.

i would disagree, being an attorney has become a right nowdays, with so many non-accredited and provisionally accredited and tier 4 schools unfortunately, don't hate

hide with like an anonymous bish btw, i bet u ain't even going to any law school

"bish?" "I bet you ain't even" Is this profile a joke? Please tell me you are not real. Really? That's your best comeback? I will have you know that I am into 3 law schools that rank among the top thirty in the nation. You should learn how to spell before you go to law school. Wait, don't bother. You're not going to get in anywhere worth going to.

Just popping by to see how you're doing? Hanging in there, I hope. Don't let ignorant dummy's get you down or get to you. I hope you delete their comments ASAP! Anyhow, I'm pulling for you and can't wait to see your acceptances come rolling in! :)

i like how ppl get so angry over spelling and such over the internet, probably those who fail at real life

Yes. They are OBVIUOSLY a failure. I mean, they're not even man or woman enough to post under their username. Anonymous? Lol. Really? Which is why I deleted their useless comment immediately. There are losers everywhere...including LSN. We've got bigger fish to fry, blackpride. Dismiss the idiot and lets keep moving.

Oh. I remedied those "anonymous" idiot comments. I disabled the ability for anyone that's not registered member to leave a comment on my profile. You should do the same. It, yes, I said it (lol), can go burn brain cells elsewhere!

yeah don't worry bethbeth, that's probably some "anonymous" fat loser sitting behind his computer, lol, i do enjoy these entertainment those losers provide now and then

I understand. I just don't entertain children. Therefore, it had to go...whatever it was. But you know when people have nothing going for themselves, they have to find someone else to try and drag down. How pitiful must your life be if you're sitting at a computer trying to put others down in order to make themselves feel good. *shurg* Thank goodness we're NOT that small. Lol.

I don't want to get involved with trash talking or putting people down on the internet, but I think there really is something to be said about seriously considering whether or not you want to spend the money to apply to law schools, let alone attend the kind of school you would get into, with numbers this low in this economy. It's not an insult to say law school isn't for everyone, it's a reality.

For the obligations you'd have. Sorry that wasn't clear, but just in terms of the debt, the job prospects. If it's something you really want to fight for and you think you're capable of succeeding at, which you obviously do, that's awesome. Don't let anyone tell you you're not. I just wanted to point out that this isn't your only option and it's probably worth thinking about what else you might have better prospects with. Whatever happens for you, best of luck man.

its really taking long for those schools to get back to you huh? may I ask why you haven't applied to any Texas schools?

I hope you didn't tell them you sold drugs to help pay for tuition. No one is going to look kindly on that. It's one thing to tell a story of struggle and success, it's another to admit taking the easy way out and making excuses. Trust me, I have friends from even worse situations than you who never resorted to that level of despicable behavior.

WOW I don't understand why all of these haters are taking the time out of their day just to spread negativity on your page! You applying to law schools seems to bother them so much even though it involves them not. Anyway, keep your head up and let all of your haters be motivators! :)

not all criticism is being a "hater". that kind of logic is what prevents actual growth. Maybe, just maybe instead of taking every constructive criticism as being a "hater" if you all used that as a way to better yourself, you would be better for it. I'm just saying, I hate this newfound mentality that being a person entitles one to act as one is in fact above everyone else. This is a response to a10w/e. You have a lot of growing up to do man. Btw, to answer your question, I was just checking who else applied to UPenn

like i told A1w/e his name is, it was him I was referencing.

lats19 I replied to your unnecessary tangent on your page but I see you deleted my comment. It was probably too embarrassing to be put in your place by someone younger than you and that has "a lot of growing up to do."

you are mad because? lol yeah, thought so, hide

chances r small and risks r huge, but i make good money right now unless i get arrested, so, in or bust, yeah worry abt urself man, sound like a retard to me

yeah that's the plan, funny thing is selling drugs whatnot is not going to be stop me, if not caught, don't have to admit on C&F right?

"will have to DEAL will ALL the things you have done in your life eventually" , sound a little creepy, u ultra religious man? who says i only sell to black kids or ruin my community?? i can hook u up with some if u want kiddo

it's aight man, love you too, good luck with ur future endeavors p.s. don't run into me, cause that would be the same as if u dropped the soap in prison

Im not mad, I feel sorry for you. TSK TSK TSK

ok then, good for ya, u dun goofed and pepper dat angus

You are HILARIOUS! I love it! :) I totally had the pitiful idiot that needs to create fake profiles in order to post on people's profiles post on mine. It (yes, I call that so called person an IT) was promptly deleted. Lol. They're not even worth the time or energy!

are you one of those people who predict the world will end? the day will come.... LMAO get a hold of reality

Lol @ the haters ... Y do you guys even care???

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm SUPER excited for you! That is am AMAZING school! It's ranked in the 20s! OMG! You got me wanting to submit my app to see if they'd take me! So very proud of you and excited because I know all these idiots that live and die by the numbers are eating their hearts OUT! *Doing the carlton dance*

am = AN

I'm so excited for you I can't even spell. You know what the heck I mean though! Lol!

i think it's all luck, was pouring my heart out in personal statement, i guess they bought it, really wish you luck too

It doesn't matter! You're in. Doesn't matter why they let you in, the fact of the matter is that you're in! Did they offer any scholarship money or is that going to be issued later on?

na, no money, i doubt any school will offer me, not expecting any:)

You never expected to get into W&L, but you did! What's stopping them from offering you any money? Honey, you better stop that negative talk! I'm sure it'll be coming via email or mail in the near future! P.s. I told my friend about your acceptance and she said it made her day! Your acceptance will make a lotta people's day...especially those that are constantly being told to give up because they have a low LSAT/GPA. In the words of Martin Lawrence...YOU GO BOY!

Thanks for thinking that I'm awesome! I try. Lol.

hold up...you got into Washington and Lee? Please tell us you're serious and not pranking us. If this is true...wow, talk about a MAJOR reach and a success. Congrats man. Absolutely crazy!! I'm stunned.

Congratulations, this is really inspiring. Now I want to complete my applications too. Beth519 is right, it sure made ma day :) Best wishes and pls ignore all the haters!!!

ok..After thoroughly insulting you for hours, I now bow down down to your greatness and I respectfully say, congratulations. You did what I thought was impossible and I HAVE been severely proven wrong.congrats again. Buuut, we will meet again on the battlegrounds and you shall be bested by me!

Hey Man, Congrats on W&L, that's awesome! I applied to some of the same schools you did, but still waiting to hear from a lot of them. How did Alabama notify you of their decision, because I cannot access the status checker for whatever reason? Good luck on the rest of your cycle.

that is funny that you should call in and complain about me, was it worth it? i like how some sad ppl fail to do something then blame others for actually making it, and yes, post anonymous, because u don't want others to complain to the schools u applied to right? u sir, are such a hypocrite phaggot. do explain how I have disregarded morality? i stated everything clearly in my ps to the schools, and i think that's why W&L took me, cry me a river loser

I really liked that you got in as the underdog but I think its ridiculous that you use that derogatory comment towards gay people. I wear my pink triangle proudly and would not go around using certain slang disgusting words directed at your people!!! Shame on you blackpride you are no pride at all.

Please tell me u are reall ????? Bc that's pretty much amazing ...... How did u do it? Do you think it was all ur personal statment ? Did you talk to someone in the office?? I think I'm about to apply to see what happens ... God is so good! Be great!

i do apologize for the perceived anti-gay comment, should have been more sensitive i suppose, but i am sure u know i was not using the word against the gay community

The amount of hate on this page is astonishing! blackpride I am really happy for you. This is proof that law schools look at things other than numbers. I have to admit that some of the positive criticism was warranted but your determination paid off in the end. I am happy that another black man is succeeding in life. To the people sending negative comments, your worries about his lsat score and gpa may have been warrented but your methods are shameful. There purpose of LSN is to help people not to bring them down. Concerning the drugs, I feel that you can't really judge him unless you have been in a similar situation. His activities may have been illegal but sometimes you have to take the whole story into consideration. He turned his life around, you should be commending him rather than dwelling in the past. Once again congrats blackpride. All I ask is that whenever you become a lawyer please reach out to the communities that you sold drugs to and help them out. Your story is one to be praised not scorned. You can be a shining example for other black males out there. Peace.

WELL SAID!! Best of luck blackpride.

there r still rational people around, thx for the support

i dono, that seems kinda extreme

yeah, i think this is really BS

You don't understand why it would make any American upset that you were and still is a drug dealer. And then you turn around and want to be a lawyer after you have participated in the downfall of the BLACK community? And you don't understand why I have a beef with you?

tulane let in a murderer... just saying... it's thanksgiving bro, cheer up, no need for da hate, i mean come on, there are these ppl here threatening to kill me, i assume that person is planning to go to law school too, yet he has the mentality of a murderer, what's up with that?

no hate, just truth.

people like you and the people who are defending you is why the black community is the way it is now. You know, 98% of violent crimes in NY is done by African Americans. Now that's not a stereotype, that is a known fact and statistic. The problem is that people like you are able to do this without any repercussions from those who work hard in the black community because they look away or make excuses( like people on your page defending you). How can you make an excuse for selling drugs? I have friends from war torn countries like Sudan and Somalia that come to America and go to school WITHOUT selling drugs. So why can't you??? People who sell drugs like you are a disgrace and there is a special place in hell for u

Confederate flag? asshole I'M from New York City. No one carries confederate flags. How can you have studied African American Studies and NOT KNOW THAT?? Confederate flags is a southern thing!! You don't even know your own history. Second of all, I am defending the black community from parasites LIKE YOU!! How dare you try to call me a racist! I am trying to tell you that you are destroying your OWN community and you are TOO DUMB to even notice that..

98% of violent crimes in NY are done by black people? show me some proof, sound like typical racist comments pulled from ur ass. All ppl are ppl, white and black, all equals, no one is likely to commit more crimes than another

Not only or you a parasite to your community. But you have the audacity to use the word "faggot" on your profile, and you are complaining about discrimination? WOW, so its ok to call people a "FAGGOT". You are a full time LOSER

again i do apologize for the use of the discriminating word against the gay community, i suggest u do the same to us, the black community

So I should apologize for saying the majority of violent crime in New York is committed by African Americans? That is a fact, Why do you deserve an apology? That is the TRUTH!. If you got a problem with facts, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD DRUGS TO YOUR OWN COMMUNITY TO PIECE OF SHIT. You are a Bigot Loser. Don't apologize to the Gay community, you're a piece of shit

you are so intolerant and outright racist now, reagan would've been ashamed of you, again, black ppl don't necessarily commit more crimes, even in new york, a lot of arrests are very biased and numbers manipulated to give that impression, u don't need to apologize to me because i know u hate me, but to those who merely tried to be objective and posted supporting comments here and to those good ppl in NY you are labeling as criminals

Oh wow, so the reason that the majority of crime that is committed in NY is committed by African Americans, that means that they have been targeted more and framed? lol.. wow.. So when you sold drugs, its because the SYSTEM MADE YOU DO IT? YOU ARE LOSER. LOL

you are finally coming around, good for you, hitting the truth except the last part abt me, u seem to be the angry loser here

Nope, I just hate people who destroy their own community. You rape your own community and people like me (who do volunteer work) in those communities see people like you everyday on the corner with your pants hanging. So yeah, I am angry at people like you

which organization do u volunteer for? KKK? yeah of course u can say u do whatever on the internet, lmao

I'm here to show support, especially to every law school student and anyone hustling hard to make their dreams a reality. Congratulations on your acceptance. Keep up the hard work as working hard is the only answer to success. Best to you!

Thanks for your comment. I want to be in the New York metropolitan area without being far from home. My goal is to earn decent scholarship money, so we will see. I wish you the best with your law school endeavors.

Wait a min, THIS IS A FAKE PROFILE. This guy this supposedly a Drug Dealer from the "HOOD" and he uses the word "GOSH"? Please, you really are a full time loser.

lol at people thinking this dude is real. First off, he has a rejection from Brooklyn - they haven't made a single application decision yet. And he posted his application decision from W&L a day before they released that weeks batch of decisions. The dude is just trolling so stop freaking out people.

good job on the Yale admissions, i dono why u removed my comment on your page, but it's really quite an accomplishment, only wish i could've done the same

I'm hurt u ignored my comment but responded to the ignorant comments ... Makes me wonder..

thank you!!! :) congrats on w&l!

See! You thought they we're going to offer you any scholarship $. You already said you never expected to get into W&L, but I don't know what's stopping them from giving you $ if they admitted you. NOTHING! :) Glad to see you'll get some scholarship info next month!

Congrats on your acceptance. Forget the haters and gone get that degree

wow how did you get into washington and lee with your numbers? congrats.

Congrats on W&L! You know you can delete all the negative comments if you want to. :) I would love to read your personal statement because I'd bet it's very persuasive and I need to work on that type of writing.

Davis is my no. one because they're in the area I'd like to live in (close to Sacramento), they have a good reputation, they're a school I have a chance at getting in (unlike UW, where they value GPA over LSAT), they have GREAT living quarters on campus, and a few concentrations that I'm interested in. :)

That people are so negative. I do not even see the point of their comments. I wish you luck and that God place you in the field that you were meant for. If this is it then there isnt a score in the world that could stand in the way. Stay encouraged

I saw someone mention a URM bump, what is that exactly?

This guy is a troll.
