Don't even bother, Soph, he just wants to get people upset because he's a complete loser, and since he's miserable, everyone else should be miserable, too.

Has anyone here gotten in off the waitlist or heard of any waitlist news recently?

[nyknyygiants]

Does anyone know what kind of cable package we get in Feil Hall and if it is possible to upgrade.

Im starting to get nervous now--its almost july. and...after july comes august scary stuff.

[ASC Grad]

I'm over in 27 Monroe... like a previous post, I did the housing thing late so I can't complain! I'm excited/nervous, can't wait to start but still apprehensive. Argh, I wish they would send out section/class/casebook info already!

Hey guys...I'm FT too.

Just read the news: http://www.law.com/jsp/nlj/PubArticleNL ... hbxlogin=1#

I find it slightly unnerving that in a *prepared* statement they likened Wexler's new position to CEO. Good for you, have a president, run the place more like a uni--but don't make it feel like a corporation... They need new PR people.

Dude be careful of Brooklyn. They are a diploma mill and so many graduates in the middle of their class have doc review jobs

I'd also be curious where you found that info about the "200+ pages," loklin. I'm not concerned about the reading as much as wondering why I don't know this already.

Goosey, buy a macbook pro at the Apple Store and get your books at the Brooklyn Law bookstore across the street from campus. Simple--it'll take three hours tops. Enjoy your time out of the country!

i got the info from bobbi bullock, her name was listed on blsconnect. i'm in china now so i was wondering if the orientation package got lost or something, but it turned out that they haven't mailed it as of july 11.

[goosey]

i think our schedules will be uploaded onto bls connect soon---i have been monitoring the "Classes" page (a la waiting for lsat scores) and its been changing...it now has a fall 2010 link up but no classes posted once u click it..im assuming theyll be up soon enough

[mcsean18]

[loklinspirit126]

[mcsean18]

I feel behind with all the stuff I don't know...

[nyknyygiants]

I feel behind with all the stuff I don't know...

At this point I don't think there is anything we are suppose to know. I keep checking the BLS Connect website and they haven't really put up any information. I am hoping we get our packets with schedules and sections soon, then atleast we would have some information to go off of.

IMMUNIZATIONS

Incoming students are required to submit proof of immunization. Your immunization information must be filed with Nancy Balzano in the Registrar’s Office by fax at (718) 780-7548 or by mail at Brooklyn Law School, Registrar’s Office, 250 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11201 no later than Aug. 1 in order to attend classes that following fall.

Were we already suppose to hand in our immunization form or is this something that will be sent to us in the upcoming weeks with our class schedule?

[goosey]
