Thank you for this, never knew about the aba 509 and for being so dam real about cost. 🫶🏾
How much did the university of Houston offer
Omg this is God because I am trying to figure the best option for me.
Starting to think about Law school and I appreciate this video so much thank you!!❤
Absolutely love how rational your decision making process was. Not enough people take cost into account, despite what a huge impact it can have on your life post law school. I’m sure you will do great things!
Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing , I was just asking myself how ima afford my apartment . Where is this money going to come from , will loans always cover the rent ? I’m hoping to be enrolled in the next school year
I’m looking to be in DC area and a one bedroom is 2k ! Lmboooo wheeeeh
I am applying to law school and Georgia state is my top choice. Do you have any new student advice geared towards Georgia State??
Not necessarily, I would say the general pieces of advice for succeeding in 1L all apply. I would just recommend admin stuff like verifications, financial aid, immunizations, etc. being completed as soon as possible as most of those documents are processed by the actual GSU offices
Hey girl! I've been accepted to GSU and would love some insight on your experience there
Congrats on getting accepted! Feel free to DM me on Instagram @blackwomenforlaw !
thank you so much this was very informative
How long did you wait to retake the LSAT?
I took the LSAT in July 2020 and August 2021
I needed to see this video, thank youu!
Hi!! Thank you for your video!!
Hello. Great video. I was wondering when during the application cycle did you submit your applications?
I submitted all of my applications first week of December 2021 and received majority of decisions by March 2022
This video helped me so much!
I’m applying for fall 2023 cycle as well, good luck to us all!
Hi, once you are in your 1L can you share your curriculum and your schedule and books you are reading, and how much you study, how you manage “me” time? ❤❤❤❤
Yes! I plan on posting a video at the end of this semester 💕
Congratulations❤and thank you for the advice! I'm currently studying for the LSAT and plan to attend law school in the Fall of 2023. Good luck to you on your law school journey.
a&m is like 3 hours from dallas vs like 1 from houston/austin. more that metro area
Thank you for the advice I can currently studying for the LSAT and applying this cycle 2023
That’s so exciting, congratulations girl! I’m currently studying for the LSAT and I’m hoping to enter law school Fall 2023. I just followed your IG. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am also really pressed about taking an extra year, and knowing you had a similar experience is very encouraging!
Awww this is so inspiring! thank you for sharing !
Sissss!! I am currently in ATL wanting to go to GSU Law school! Please how can we connect more if you are okay with that?
Feel free to send me a DM on Instagram @blackwomenforlaw
Probably the best video I’ve watched on TH-cam regarding law school applications. I’m a first generation, completely overwhelmed with this whole process. Your video was extremely helpful and it makes me feel like I’m not alone! Thank you so much for making this informative video and being so transparent with your journey!!
Ms. Chelli aka Little Brown Sister... 1. Never Be Afraid to Bet On Yourself at ALL-Times(You Made It This Far)! 2. Never Let Cost Get In The Way Of Financing Your Dreams or Goals(Student Loans are Down Payments On Your Dreams). BTW, How do you EAT a Whale? One Bit At A Time!!! 3. Dream's and Goal's are accomplished 1 Day at a Time, so YOU shouldn't worry about your next steps, just put faith in your steps and the plan WILL COME. I heard you praising GOD, so test your Faith and never turn YOURSELF DOWN, let THEM(Whom Ever that Maybe In Your Life at this time) turn you down and watch YOU Go! Good Luck and Make it Happen Little Brown Sister aka L1 Chelli!
You are going to a future District Court, Appellate Circuit Court or Supreme Court Law Clerk? Big Dreams! 😊
My GPA for my bachelor degree was 2.95 🤬 pissed because I probably can't get into a good law school
LSAC GPA is the one to factor. Its a little stricter. But yeah good law schools are usually around 3.6+.
If you can study very hard on the LSAT and be above your schools median…I think that you can be admitted because of that and despite your GPA. Don’t be discouraged.
Can you share what percentage of scholarship you got from your chosen school?
Congratulations! I grew up around Atlanta and am an attorney in NC now. Great that you were concerned about the costs of attending, since having a ton of debt is pretty oppressive. Good luck!
Thank you!
Congratulations! Whether you decide to or not, you should consider the transfer path! You will need to perform really well your first year, however depending on the jump in ranking it is worth the cost. I was a transfer student and I wish someone told me how to do well 1L much sooner. In my case, I transferred from a school much lower rank than GSU to Emory. I also had a significantly lower LSAT and GPA than you did. You can totally do it if you wanted.
I’ll keep that in mind, thank you!
Your story is awesome and one of the more relatable on TH-cam as a black man. Glad you were able to overcome the odds and become part of the 4%. I’m just starting the process of law school admissions so your story is very helpful.
If you don't mind me asking what was your LSAT and GPA score?
August 2021 LSAT: 159 GPA: 3.64
Congratulations!!!! Thank you for sharing your testimony! So excited !!
Current Gsu law student here going into third year - see you on campus this fall!
See you!
Congrats ! How much did you get from University of Miami ? I want to go law school in Florida !
Thank you, I received a close to half tuition scholarship. Take into account their COA and that they may have more to work with for funding scholarships as a private institution
@@GiovannaChelli thank you so much !!
My lsat prep course experience was bad. I used test masters , it just wasn’t for me. I’m at the process where I’m trying to find what works for me as well. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thank you for being transparent , and congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for posting this video, it was really helpful!
What an informative video !! Heyy...I was wondering If you could tell me wether the LSAT is given to African students. I am in Ethiopia and I want to be sure that it is available before I get prepared...u know. So please Reply for me....It means alot and I have to start using my time for preparation.Thanks
The LSAT is given to African students. LSAC.org should have more information related to testing
Congrats!!

Congratulations counselor great job
Your channel has been so informative! So happy for you and hope you keep making these great videos!
I love how you are so honest and open about everything! Really refreshing <3
Is there a limit to how much you can take out overall or only within a year ? It would be essential to know if you can’t take out any more loans the following year because you have too many loans.
So it’s a little complicated. There’s a set limit for the total amount of federal subsidized & unsubsidized loans you can borrow in a lifetime, I believe it’s around $138,000. So this does include any loan debt from undergrad. If you hit that max once you reach grad school (in this case law school), you can borrow federal GRAD Plus Loans up to the amount of cost of attendance minus any other aid such as scholarships. However, GRAD Plus loans require a credit check w/ higher interests.
Unsubsidized loans are applied first per year (max $20,500). Any additional costs remaining can be covered by a grad plus loan (max COA minus scholarships).
Have you ever heard of anyone that didn't finish law school because they couldn't afford it? Wow, this kind of changed my views on what school to attend. How much do you think we need a year as a law student? 🤣 it is expensive everywhere 😩
@@chelled8773 Law school is very expensive unfortunately, however I view it as an investment. Don’t allow costs to deter you from still applying & attending. It’s common for most students to resort to loans to fund their higher education if they have no other means (isn’t great but it gets it done). Aiming for institutional and outside scholarships first is always best. Also consider the type of law you’ll like to practice, salary, etc. if your concerned about loan repayment. Do your research, consider factors important to you, & go from there!
You are so inspiring!!! I know exactly how you feel and I’m so proud of you!!! New subscriber 😊🎉❤️!!!
Thank you Simi! ❤️
