Hi @all!

I've been accepted my severals law schools (YLS, HLS, Berkeley).

My problem: I have some pre-existing conditions/health problems. In my view they won't affect my suitability for the LLM year and there is no need for expensive ongoing treatments (no severe problems like asthma, diabetes etc).

Does someone have experiences with such a situation? Can I be rejected by the law school because of pre-existing conditions?

Thank you very much!

Also I do believe that most schools actually "like" people who have such conditions because it allows them to have a wider "diversity" of students. Also, in the United States (most likely in other English speaking countries like Canada and the UK), I think that most (all?) schools have a quota system - which is why they ask you in your application if you are a latino, a native American, etc.

So I really would not worry about this if I were you. I am sure the school administrations would be very happy to help you.

Wishing you guys the best

I don't think you will be rejected because of health conditions, but in the U.S. we are all required to have a health insurance. Some universities have Medical Schools and the insurance is from the university itself.

If I were you, I would ask about health insurance and how does it work in the law schools you are interested in, so you can have more information and talk about your preexisting condition, maybe the price for your insurance will be different or something like that.

Hope it helps!
