  • The LSAT, Three Times

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    I would like to explain why I took the LSAT three times. To explain my low LSAT scores, I would first have to explain why and how I was diagnosed with a learning disability at Florida State University. In 2001, my academic advisor advised and referred to Florida State’s Adult and Learning Evaluation Center, because I was failing most of the college level mathematic courses. I completed a psycho-education evaluation and assessment test and was diagnosed with a learning disability that contributed from academic problems, associated with college level mathematics. After my assessment, I received extended test time and alternative testing accommodation for all my mathematic courses. Because I did not have the proper the resources available to me, all my college level mathematics “F” grades on my transcripts were removed and replaced with “WDs”. After receiving test accommodations at FSU, my mathematics grades improved significantly and I over came my learning disability block with the help of Florida State’s resource center.

    The most important hurdle to overcome in the course was mainly myself and my old writing habits. Adjusting to the course is a goal that one needs to overcome post-haste, the more time it takes one to adjust, the worse your grade will be. A critical aspect of adjusting is the ability to change the writing requirements based on what class one is in. By figuring out the appropriate text to use in each class, it would help one adjust to the course faster. In my history class, writing is mainly facts piled on other facts with no set of techniques, while writing class involves a lot more critical thinking.

  • Getting into College and Taking the ACT

    799 Words  | 2 Pages

    Until this past spring I hadn't thought much about what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go for college. One day in the spring the junior class had a meeting in the auditorium about taking our ACT test and college plans. After that meeting I realized I needed a change, getting into college wasn't going to be a breeze, kind of how I had treated high school. Although I always considered myself to be fairly smart, I never had put much effort into school, but after seeing the facts and requirements to get into schools, and especially after hearing Ms. Rice saying "In today's world, the way to a successful future, is choosing college as your future", I knew I had to make an adjustment for the better so that college could be my future.

Some seem to regard that in order to reach that level of success they must attend an elite school, a school that is usually private, and only admits fewer than ten percent of applicants. The Ivy league receives much attention among the elite schools. “Only 0.4 percent of undergraduates attend one of the Ivy League schools... too much attention is paid to these eight institutions” (O'Shaughnessy).

    There are so many people in the world pursuing similar goals that it is difficult to determine beyond surface level qualifications what makes one person different from the next. To me, the best way to distinguish people is to place them in stressful situations and examine their behavior. The people that emerge from these situations as great leaders take responsibility for their actions, have a long range view, and are genuinely interested in the development of others. Unfortunately, while under stress, many people display actions that are self-serving, and as a result, the overall community, whether academic or professional is impaired. Georgia Law can admit the best and brightest minds to form its incoming class. However, it is not the skills and experiences of the incoming class that will ultimately determine the greatness of the program. The strength of the program will be established by how each member chooses to use their strengths.
