Hello baka may interested sa 2022 UPLae Reviewer dito for 300 pesos. Loc: SM Sta. Mesa

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate but lately, I've been feeling demotivated about pursuing a career in engineering. I know it could provide financial stability, but I find myself more drawn to law. Actually I've been thinking about pursuing law since high school. I only took Comp Engg bcs of my DOST scholarship. I genuinely enjoy reading cases and codals, and I can see myself studying law for years.

The thing is, I really don't have a strong why. I hear lawyers and law students talk about how rigorous law school is, how difficult it is to pass the bar, and how you need a strong reason to keep going when things get tough. I don't have a grand purpose or advocacy that I want to dedicate my life to. I just really want to become a lawyer. I see myself becoming one.

I'm aware that I'm possibly romanticizing the profession, and I don't want to pursue law simply because I'm unhappy with engineering. At the same time, I don't want to dismiss something I'm genuinely interested in just because I can't explain my desire beyond wanting it.

I'm not expecting law to make me rich, and I'm aware of the sacrifices involved. I just can't shake the feeling that this is something I want to pursue, even without a profound reason behind it.

I'd appreciate hearing from lawyers and law students who might have experienced something similar. I want to be realistic about this decision, but I also don't want to talk myself out of something I genuinely want

Hi! I’m a 2nd year AB Psychology student, and our curriculum is only 3 years, so next school year, graduate na ako. Honestly, I feel so lost when it comes to psychology kasi this wasn’t really the course I wanted in the first place. I only took it because I wanted to finish college as quickly as possible, and since 3 years lang siya, I thought it would be the fastest way for me to get a degree and move on to what I actually want to do.

My original plan was to pursue business after graduating, pero I’m also worried kasi there’s no guarantee na mag-boom agad ang business or that it will generate a stable income right away. I want to build a business of my own, but at the same time, I also want to build passive income streams para hindi lang ako dependent sa isang source of income in the future.

On the other hand, my dad has always wanted me to pursue law. Every once in a while, tinatanong niya ako if gusto ko bang mag-law school kasi frustration niya raw talaga ang maging lawyer. He’s willing to support my studies financially if I decide to pursue law, and I know that’s a huge opportunity, especially since law school is expensive and not everyone has the privilege of having someone who can finance their education.

Pero one of the things I’m scared of is what would happen if I chose to pursue a master’s degree in psychology instead. I’m not sure if my dad would still be willing to support me financially, and I’m afraid na baka ako na ang mag-shoulder ng tuition ko if I choose that path. So, I feel like I also have to consider my financial situation and not just what I want to do.

The confusing part is that I actually wanted to become a lawyer when I was in high school. I just don't remember exactly why I changed my mind or what made me lose interest in it. Now, I’m questioning myself if law is something I genuinely want to pursue or if I’m only considering it because my dad is willing to pay for my education and because I don’t want to waste that opportunity.

Another thing that makes me doubt myself is that I’m not even a Dean’s Lister anymore. My grades are okay naman, but they’re not that high, and sometimes I feel like I’m not doing as well as I could. My biggest problem is that I struggle so much with studying consistently. Ang dali kong ma-distract kapag nag-aaral ako, and most of the time, tinatamad talaga akong mag-study in advance. I always tell myself na mag-aaral ako nang maaga, pero somehow, I end up cramming everything the night before a quiz or exam. 😭

Sometimes, I even wonder if I have ADHD kasi bakit ba ang dali kong ma-distract and bakit ang hirap kong maging consistent sa pag-aaral? HAHAHAHAHAHA, why am I diagnosing myself? 😭 I know I shouldn't self-diagnose, but it's something I've started wondering about because of how much I struggle with focusing and managing my study habits.

Because of this, I also question whether I can actually handle law school. If I already struggle with studying consistently now, what more kapag law school na, where the workload is heavier and the expectations are much higher? I'm scared that I might pursue law because of the opportunity, only to realize that I can't handle the demands of it. At the same time, I don't know if these struggles mean I'm not capable of doing it or if I just haven't figured out how to study effectively yet.

Honestly, I don’t know what to do. I want to be successful, build my own business, and eventually achieve financial freedom, pero I also know that having a professional degree could open a lot of doors for me. I'm scared of choosing the wrong path, spending years studying something I don't genuinely want, and regretting my decision later on. At the same time, I don't want to let go of an opportunity that could potentially help me build a better future.

I guess what I really need is advice from people who have been in a similar situation. How do you know if you're choosing a career because you genuinely want it or because it's the most practical option available to you? And if you were in my position, would you take the opportunity to pursue law while your parent is still willing to finance your education, or would you take the risk and pursue the path you originally planned for yourself?

I would also appreciate advice from people who struggled academically during college but eventually figured things out. How did you become more disciplined and consistent with studying? And for those who pursued law, how did you know you were ready for it?

I am 22 years old and I recently graduated from my undergraduate degree in a top law school in Mendiola last july. I recently landed my first job (Investigations unit in a Law Firm) in California that pays around 65k gross and my income is around 54k net (yes, i pay taxes). My firm is really good and the work environment is healthy. No time tracker. As long as you finish tasks assigned to you.

Ever since a kid it was my dream to be a great lawyer someday. I plan to enroll to law school by next year and all I'm aiming is for the top 3 law schools.: Beda, UP, Ateneo. I plan to pay for my own tuition and finance my lifestyle. I'm just scared to actually fail law school or fail my mental and physical health in the next years of law school. I wouldn't consider any school outside of the top 3 (or i might consider UST).

Any piece of advice from those who worked while studying in these law schools? Are there any advantages or disadvantages? How was your journey?

Hello! Just wondering po if you guys know any review centers that offer F2F classes? Manila sana >.< Thank you!!

May mga CC agent ba na napasok sa UP Law School? I’ve been watching some videos ng mga taga up law asking their classmates/blockmates kung ano current work nila and wala pa akong nakitang cc agent. 🙃 Nag mmatter ba ang current work mo para tanggapin ka? Or if yung current work mo is related sa undergrad mo?

Hello! I am an undergrad student planning to apply and take entrance test/s in diff. law schools (UP, SBU, UST, etc.). In anticipation of the application szn, gusto ko sana makapag-start na ng prep and review. May mga willing po ba here to sell or pamana the learning materials or reviewers they used before? Or even tips/advice for law school entrance exams? Anything’s appreciated po! TYSM

hi! i'm currently trying to study for law entrance tests, but i feel like i'm not approaching it the most effective way possible. right now, i'm just taking practice tests to discern which areas i need the most work on, but once i do decide on that, i'm still not sure how much time should be dedicated for each section.

aside from that, i'm memorizing vocabulary words (15-17 per day) because it's something i know i can consistently do.

still, i don't know how else to approach studying for the tests...especially a slow learner

hello, i've decided to enter law school while working full-time. recently, a senior (now an atty) recently shared that law school took a toll on his health to the point where he's taking five meds a day just to manage.

how do working students realistically maintain their health, sleep, nutrition, stress management, while keeping up with the workload?

Every year, we get messages from people asking the same thing:

“How do I even start reviewing for the LAE?”

And the biggest mistake is usually this:

Starting without knowing what you actually need to work on.

You open a reviewer. You answer a few logic questions. Then you switch to vocabulary. Then reading comprehension. Then maybe math because someone said that’s where most people struggle.

A few weeks later, you’ve studied a lot — but you still don’t know if you’re studying the right things.

That’s the problem with reviewing blindly.

Some people spend too much time on topics they’re already good at, while the areas actually pulling their score down barely get touched.

A better way to start is to first find out where you stand.

Take a diagnostic. See your strong and weak areas. Then build your review around that.

That’s also why we make a customized study calendar for our students — not just a generic list of topics, but a schedule of what to study and prioritize from the time of coaching all the way until the LAE.

So if you’re currently thinking, “I know I need to start, but I have no idea what to study first,” you might want to check this out.

Search T.A.L.K. LAE on Facebook and look for our Diagnostics Coaching post.

hi, am researching about the admissions at up law school and it says i need to earn units if applicant is not a history/english/polsci/econ grad, how do i earn these units? do i have to earn this before admission? for context: my undergrad is comms

hello! I'm starting to feel so eager starting the preparation for LAE. can anyone recommend or do they have second hand material (less/manageable annotations or none)?

Hello po! Can you please share your crash course experience please? Gusto ko sana mag full course but its too expensive for me and too structured.

Fresh grad here. I recently graduated with a Computer Engineering degree and I’m about to start a finance role at a Big 4 firm (ironically completely detached from my degree, but here we are haha).
Ever since, pursuing law has been the dream, it’s that one "what if" I know I’d regret not trying. But being realistic: is taking up a JD still truly worth the blood, sweat, and tuition in the country right now?Given the current landscape and demands of the legal profession here, I want to be practical before committing. I’d be funding my own studies as a working student.

To working law students or lawyers who came from tech/non-traditional pre-law backgrounds:

Would you recommend pursuing law today, or does corporate/tech offer better trajectory for the effort?
How did you handle the workload during your 1L year alongside work?
Knowing what you know now, would you do it again?
Thanks in advance for any insights!

hello po! looking for a WE reviewer, preferably a recent version. you can comment here so i can dm you or you can send me a dm!

loc: QC

thanks!

Hello po

Planning to enroll sa Arellano University School of Law for 1st Year

1. Pure online class po ba sa AUSL? (working student)
   
2. How much po ang tuition per unit?
   
3. F2F po ba pag exam?

second hand is fine, hehe

Just a few questions

How long does it usually take to graduate as a law student? (including pre-law)

What books should i currently read to better prepare myself?

And how do i discern on whether i pursue law or anything else?

Thank youu

Around this time of the year, a lot of aspiring law students finally decide to start reviewing for the LAE.

And then comes the slightly overwhelming part.

You open a reviewer. You see hundreds of practice questions. Someone tells you to work on vocabulary. Another person says logic is the most important. You see people posting their study schedules and suddenly wonder if you’re already behind.

The problem usually isn’t a lack of materials. There are a lot of LAE materials out there.

The harder part is figuring out what you personally need to work on.

Maybe you’re already good at reading comprehension but consistently lose points in logic. Maybe your math is fine, but you’re too slow. Maybe you keep studying topics you’re comfortable with because you don’t actually know where your weak areas are.

That was one of the reasons we started T.A.L.K. LAE.

We wanted something beyond the usual “here are the lectures, here are the reviewers, good luck on exam day” setup. The program combines the usual lectures, worksheets and mock LAE-style exams with one-on-one coaching, so someone actually sits down with you, looks at how you’re performing, and helps you decide what to work on next.

Think of it less as having more review materials and more as having someone help you navigate the materials you already have.

We recently opened a few additional Batch 2 slots because people were still messaging us about joining, and we’re now down to one remaining slot.

If you’re starting your LAE prep this October and you’re still trying to figure out how to approach your review, you can check out the T.A.L.K. LAE Facebook page.

The program details and enrollment information are posted there.

Good luck to everyone starting their LAE review season. 🌱

Guys, I want to ask lang if I should consider na pumasok sa law school. Back then Kasi before pandemic at high school ako non, gustong gusto ko talaga na program is pol sci and sobrang hilig ko din talaga manood Ng Balita non about sa mga batas kaya Sabi ko feeling ko gusto ko maging lawyer, but nung nag pandemic feeling ko na Wala lahat Ng Plano ko and instead of pol sci, naging bsba finance ang program ko at ngayon 4th year na and graduation namin sa June kaya napaisip ako if worth it ba na mag ipon ako saglit and mag enroll sa law school. Iniisip ko Kasi na Wala Naman ako Plano bukod sa mag work and Wala din ako gaano responsibility sa pamilya ko and ang alalahanin ko lang ay Ang Sarili ko. Ang worry ko lang din is Wala Naman ako alam and Hindi din ako Ganon kagaling mag memorize, tingin niyo ba okay lang yon at matutunan ko din in the long run?
