I have one more application to send in my quest to get into law school, yet I am hesitating. I am unsure if I want to send it in. If I should even bother. I have sent in four or five other law school applications this year and all have been rejected. The odds are not on my side for this last one. In fact, I think it is safe to say the odds are completely against me. So I hesitate and wonder, and in the meantime, contemplate my other options.
I am unsure if I want to give up on law school and instead focus on something else. Yet, that is what I seem to find myself doing. My problem though, is what to focus on. Yes, I have other areas of interest, journalism for one, but that is not what worries me. What worries me is if I can see pursuing one or two of those areas and doing that for the rest of my life. Or should I go to graduate school and get a degree in something else? But then I am confronted with the same problem: Can I see myself doing that one thing (the thing I spent two more years of education and money on) for the rest of my life? I am not sure.
The weird thing is, I am okay with giving up on law school. No, it is not great, but it is not the end of the world either. Yes, it was my dream for twelve years, but that does not mean I do not have other dreams, or that dreams cannot change. Of course they change, and they change because we change. Maybe, despite how long I have wanted to go to law school and be a lawyer, maybe I was never meant to be one. Maybe I was always meant to be something else.

SEND IT IN!!!!!!!!!! If you don't send it in, you will be left wondering, what if they sent it in and they said yes? This way, you will know. Send it in, if you want ill even walk you to the mailbox to mail it in.
You're right, and I know you are. I thought the same thing as well, but sending it in is expensive ($78 per application). But I'm thinking of doing it anyway. I mean, hey, what's one more?
Also, it's not done through the USPS, it's done through the LSAC website. You might want to take note of that and check it out, especially since you're planning on taking the LSAT and possibly going to law school.
Thanks, Dan. :-)
