On April 4, 2025, I received an official acceptance letter to UIC Law. I paid my deposit, celebrated with my loved ones, and began preparing for my law school journey in Chicago. Days later, I was told the acceptance was sent in error due to a previous withdrawal email—one I’ve since clarified was a mistake. I was offered no conversation, no empathy, and not even a formal apology—just a cold rejection and a refund. The emotional toll this took on me, as a first-generation college student who worked tirelessly to reach this point, was immense. This review is not out of spite, but to bring awareness to how poorly this administration handled a life-changing moment. I will not be reapplying to UIC Law, but I will become a lawyer, and I will keep sharing my story—because students deserve transparency, accountability, and respect.

This “school” is such a mess. The IT department alone is the worst, the director is an incompetent DEI hire. The HR is filled to the brim with unqualified DEI hires, the HR director unfortunately is under the impression he’s qualified and only hires certain women. No men, pure discrimination.

Loved it. Not in Law School, but allowed to access the libraries on 6th, 9th and 10th floors. Great views of the loop.

John Marshall Law School is an excellent choice for a law career. Right now, the school is run by John Corkery, the finest quality teacher you could ever find. I graduated the night division in January 1991, and this school has tremendously prepared me for a great legal career. You will find that this school is not only the largest school in the country, but it is located in the heart of the Chicago downtown loop which provides conveniences beyond belief. You would be wise to select this school as your choice. Best Regards, Julio Pimentel, Attorney/CPA

I attended the John Marshal School of Law in 2008 until 2011, and it was by far one of the most riveting experiences I have ever had academically. I learned a tremendous amount, but most specifically, I had an opportunity to do so in an environment which is conducive of actual practice. The school has one of the top writing programs, and the majority of the professors are practicing attorneys. Additionally, the program is more about actual practice as opposed to legal theory and the idealism surrounding the law. If you are interested in learning a ton, attending school in the epicenter of the Chicago scene, and developing a lasting set of memories, then by all means attend the John Marshall Law School. The Dean of the school, John Corkery is one of the most genuine and insightful individuals you will ever hope to meet, and someone who will ensure that your needs and educational goals are assisted by the staff!
