Re: Iowa 2012
Agreed on the scholarship stipulation. Hopefully I'm not kicking myself at this time next year for not taking the identical scholarship at Illinois stipulation free
I think the current students made a good point about it turning away potential students. If I did not have other reasons for attending Iowa that trumped the stipulation problems I would have attended Illinois, no question. Please oh please let them get it removed!

Dean Byrd said it was mandated by the faculty committee or something to that effect when I called and asked to have it removed.pomona wrote: Yeah I recall Dean Byrd saying at ASD that they give scholarships to people who they think will be able to keep the scholarships. This of course begs the question: why have the ridiculous requirement, then?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a current student said it is pass/fail, and that everyone passes.

Re: Iowa 2012
You get 1 credit for the intro course and the exam is graded but it's P/F (but you do get specific feedback about how your essay and MC responses fared compared to everyone else--i.e. 50th percentile, 25 percentile).mikeytwoshoes wrote:Does the exam count on our transcripts or is it just a preview?greentrees wrote:And the week concludes with an exam.

Yeah, I've heard rumors that someone occasionally "fails" it and has to take the test again until they pass, but that's not substantiated.isustudent wrote:mikeytwoshoes wrote:Does the exam count on our transcripts or is it just a preview?greentrees wrote:And the week concludes with an exam.

This kinda sounds like an enforced law preview except taught by our eventual professors.greentrees wrote:Yeah, I've heard rumors that someone occasionally "fails" it and has to take the test again until they pass, but that's not substantiated.isustudent wrote:mikeytwoshoes wrote:Does the exam count on our transcripts or is it just a preview?greentrees wrote: And the week concludes with an exam.

Haha no I toured on Friday with another girl who was great. That would have been weird...I think we would all know if we ever came in contact with another TLSer, we can smell our own.greentrees wrote:You weren't by chance touring the law school with Seehee Foss this afternoon, were you?Whitty wrote:I just got back from Iowa City!

Not gonna happen. In fact I don't think I'll feel better for at least..27 days, until I live there.

Re: Iowa 2012
+1 What is this nonsense? Sounds like straightedge bs to me.
At least that's the reputation of SE here in Reno, can't say for sure that it translates to IC.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
