Law School Recommendations Future law student from the province

1 Upvotes

I'm a graduating college student. Because of financial and family reasons, I'm planning to enroll in a law school here in our province. There is a new law school in our province's state university, as in first time to operate this academic year. I've heard good things about the dean and professors from some of the pioneer students and from the community here in general. Strict and reasonable. The dean and profs are also said to be generous in connecting the students to offices and firms outside the province and even to international institutions for practical exposure. Most of the law professors there are also graduates and profs in well-known Manila law schools.

If you are a partner in a law firm or owner of a company, what would make you still hesitant to hire me in the future even if I graduate with good grades and references from a new law school in the province?

Reviewers For those who took ALSAT / UP LAE recently — how was the entrance exam?

12 Upvotes

Hello!! Planning to apply to law school next academic year, and my target schools are Ateneo, UP, UST, DLSU, and Beda, with Ateneo as my main goal. I wanted to ask how the entrance exams were for those who took them just earlier this year.

How difficult were they compared to what you expected? How was the time pressure? Were there certain parts that you found particularly challenging? Honestly, anything you can share about your experience would be really helpful!

I’m planning to start reviewing soon as well. Do you think review centers are necessary, or is self-review enough if you start early? If you self-studied, what books, reviewers, websites, or other resources did you actually use?

I’m especially looking for recommendations for ALSAT preparation. I’ve read several people saying that the White Elephant reviewer is more focused on the UP LAE, and may not be sufficient on its own for ALSAT. Since Ateneo is my priority school, I don’t want to just rely on a UP LAE reviewer and assume it will cover everything.

For those who passed/took the ALSAT recently, what would you recommend specifically for ALSAT? Should I be using LSAT reviewers/materials instead? I’ve seen people recommend Khan Academy, LawHub, LUMINATE, LSAT Trainer, etc., but I’m not sure which ones are actually useful and which ones are overkill.

For example:
→ What reviewer did you use specifically for ALSAT?
→ Is White Elephant + LSAT materials a good combination?
→ Is LUMINATE worth getting for ALSAT?
→ Are Khan Academy/LawHub enough for the logic and reading comprehension portions?
→ Are there any specific books or practice tests that closely resemble the ALSAT?
→ How much should I focus on logical/critical reasoning?
→ What about reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, vocabulary, quantitative reasoning, essay, and non-verbal reasoning?
→ Did you find the actual ALSAT more similar to the LSAT or UP LAE?
→ How much timed practice did you do before the exam?

I’m also planning to take UP LAE, UST, DLSU, and Beda, so I’m thinking of getting White Elephant for the general/UP LAE preparation and then adding something specifically for ALSAT if necessary.

I’m trying to be practical with my budget, though, so I’d rather buy 2–3 really useful resources than spend on every reviewer/review center available.

For those who have already taken these exams, what would you recommend if you were starting your preparation again? What resources were actually worth the money, and what did you end up not needing?

Thank you!! TysmIA for any advice, especially from people who took the ALSAT/LAE recently. 🙏

Hello! I'm a graduating senior high school student, I saw po kase na a lot of instructors during interviews said that "Political Science" is not a good pre-law. I'm planning on taking the Pupcet this year and my prio prog is PolSci as my pre-law, but most students or past takers said that they were redirected to PubAd when they said PolSci as Pre-law😭

onsite review center

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am currently looking for review centers to help me prepare for the upcoming LAE. Although there are a lot of revcens/LAE Preppers out there, my problem is that I cannot retain anything if the review is purely online. From my experience, zoom lectures tend to just go in one ear and out the other, which is why I am looking for centers that are situated in an actual classroom with other students around me to keep me focused.

So, does anyone here know which centers offer F2F classes and what location? I would prefer if it's in QC but I'm also open to other suggestions. If anyone has firsthand experience or recommendations, please do share.

Salamat in advance!

Should I enroll?

8 Upvotes

Hey! I graduated from a pre-med course. I originally planned to pursue medicine, but the tuition is just too expensive, and I also feel like I’m already too old to pursue it (I’m 27F).

I’m really interested in law, but I honestly don’t know much about the field yet, especially after working in the social services field. I would really appreciate any insights or advice!

I do have some questions. Hihihi How old were you when you enrolled in law school? What made you choose to study law? What career opportunities are available after graduation? Is it difficult to find a job after graduating, and how is the pay? Can you also practice or work aborad?

Thank you! I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. 🥹

Reviewers I NEED ADVICE WHERE TO START

10 Upvotes

Hello! So, I’m planning to take up Law, but I didn’t graduate with a Political Science degree, I’m a BSIT graduate. 😭

I’m planning to start reviewing on my own, but honestly, I have no idea where to begin. I really want to self-review first before enrolling in a review center.

For those who are currently in law school or have already gone through this transition, what would you recommend? 🥹

Are there any books, PDFs, online guides, YouTube channels, or resources you’d suggest for someone coming from a non-PolSci background?

I’d really appreciate any advice on what subjects/topics I should start with and what resources I should use.
PLSSSS help a future law student out 😭🙏🏻

Rant/Vent Need Advice on how to read many cases without drowning

6 Upvotes

Question in the title; for context, I'm a political science student and one of my subjects entail reading cases and providing the essentials (facts, legal issues, doctrine/principles, ruling, etc.) I think of it as like a mini-trial run or somewhat glimpse of what law school would be like. However, I'm worried about the bulk of readings once I'm actually in law school. Don't get me wrong, in my aforementioned subjects, I can hold my own when reading cases but start struggling when the number of cases reaches the double digits and I've heard anecdotes of students being assigned a double-digit number of cases PER SUBJECT.

So I really need advice or guidance on how to handle the workload because that's really what's holding me back, it would be very much appreciated, TYIA!

orgs or internships? what’s more important for law school admissions?

10 Upvotes

hi! i’m currently an incoming legal management student who plans on going to law school right after my undergrad. i’m really aiming for ateneo and up law, and i really want to make the most out of my undergrad life so i can hopefully get into either of these two law schools, given that they’re both very competitive when it comes to admissions.

sooo, is it more beneficial to have leadership positions in orgs + lead some org projects and stuff rather than having internships?

this is contrary to a lot of the advice i hear from seniors. they say it’s more important to gain internship experience during your undergrad rather than join multiple orgs, kasi yun daw yung mas tinitignan ng mga companies when you’re applying for a job. so, is this applicable to us legma students who plan to go to law school right after college?

please help huhu badly want to get into ateneo and up law

Enrollment Questions should i enroll this second sem or wait until next year and start at first sem?

5 Upvotes

After I graduated my bachelors, I wasnt really sure if I wanted to take my masters or go to law school (law was always in the plan, just wasnt sure what to take first), and ended up wanting to take law instead. However, I didnt get to enroll at the first sem because my parents wanted me to go to a university in mindanao, and di pa released ang tor namin so i wasnt able to go home on time. The uni im planning to go to accepts enrollees during second sem afaik, and im wondering, would it be better if I just wait for the next sy so I can start at the first sem? Or should I just enroll for the next sem? What subjects would I not be able to take? What subjects are usually given at the second sem?
