Thanks to Haas Bloggisms for this. Brightened my whole afternoon!
And yes, Haas, the list of schools on the right is the list of schools I’m applying to. I have to be in one of those cities, depending on where my husband gets into grad school. I think I have a fair shot at some of them, although some of the more notorious famous names are definitely “reach” schools.
LSAC has received my undergraduate transcript, but it has not processed it. This is unnerving and annoying.
LSAT study continues to go well. Which gives me ever-fewer excuses to not work on my personal statement.
Also, many people around my office know I am planning to apply to law school. My boss does not. In fact, he might be about the only person who doesn’t. (OK, that’s not true. The people that know are in positions lateral to mine. No one above us really knows.) I would kind of like an LOR from my boss, since he continually tells me how impressed he is by my work, and I’m pretty sure that his English Ph.D means it wouldn’t be incoherent. But I haven’t told him I am applying to law school.
What is the best way to approach this? I’ve only been here six or so months, after all—and I’d be telling him I’m planning to leave in less than a year. I’m not sure how he’ll take it or whether it will affect the rest of my time here.
Update: BTW, I’m not concerned about being fired, for various reasons. I just don’t want to cause animosity.
