Rebecca Stellato had no idea what to expect when she showed up at Georgetown University Law Center last fall. Her self-described “hippy-dippy” upbringing in Northern California, her undergraduate degree in public policy and a year of international health work hadn’t prepared her for the “shark tank” that is law school.
“It was kind of overwhelming, and I just felt really out of my element,” said Stellato, now a 2L. “There were a lot of Type-A personalities, and they make it so much more stressful than it needs to be. It’s not healthy for anyone.”
