Oh man, it sounds like I missed some fun drama.

I haven't signed up to be a Student Advisor like JenDarby, but feel free to hit me up for help at any time during the school year!

Ajax, where are you going to law school?

ajax why don't u answer this question?

last i heard, our homie ajax was considering rutgers lol wanna talk about unorthodox, unethical behavior i retook my LSAT in june for a scholarship offer from fordham (very worthwhile needless to say) and based on my new score i received a formal mail package from rutgers with a FULL RIDE + STIPEND. i never even APPLIED.

I was talking to some construction workers the other day, they said early 2014 was very optimistic.

Ajax,

This is an admissions waiting thread; people want to discuss their acceptances, denials and waitlists without having someone shit on their school. If you want to engage in such dialogue, please do so in another thread.[/quote]

[Gemini]

Ajax sounds like that bitter 3L that posts here sometimes. I forget his name (clearly not important).

Also it sounds like ajax has been banned so I doubt we'll be seeing him here again anytime soon.

[Happy Endings]

Any waitlisters see any movement? I applied back in September (wait listed 12/1 and status change 7/2)...it's humbling to realize almost a year has gone by. Still thankful the opportunity/chance still exists (trying to ignore Ajax's earlier posts). To those still waiting....hang in there! To those already accepted...congrats!!

I am a student advisor, but student advisors are NOT paid.

My role is not to convince people to attend Fordham, and regardless I would never do that any way. If ADMITTED AND ATTENDING students need assistance through 1L, that's what I provide, out of the sheer goodness of my heart (and fine, one free burrito a semester).

Forget the burrito, I would take you out for an entire stone bowl of guacamole and chips at Rosa Mexicana if you helped me!

It's been a while since my last post, but since I accepted at Fordham, I received a full scholly from BLS and randomly from Rutgers which I did not apply to. The weak economy certainly is making it's effects felt on law schools.

I'm a part-timer and not planning on leaving my employer, I have a must-go work trib in September, how are the Professors with missing a lecture if it was coordinate ahead of time?

I have good news for the waitlisters still out there (terrible news for me, but, I'd rather not go into details here), another space is about to open up.

Due to a change of circumstances in my personal life (which is impacting my financial life) I cannot attend Fordham this semester... I've already dehydrated from the crying.

Last Monday, I sent in a request to defer for one year. If my request is not granted, I will have to withdraw. FINGERS CROSSED that will not be the case. Either way, a space will be opening up this fall for someone in the evening division.

Best of Luck to all of you still waiting!

[DTDT]

Sorry to hear that 30. Where you receiving a merit scholarship?

[30-Something]

Thanks DT. Sorry folks, no money going back in the pool.

I am sorry to hear that 30. Hopefully we will see you the following fall.

Oh, technically, I rented it from B&N for 8 bucks.

Professors don't mind if you missed a class or two. I did that once or twice in my first semester and never emailed the profs to let them know. My friend DID email. Either way, it did not impact my grades. I got notes from a classmate.

As for recording a lecture, most professors wont let you do that, even if you're not there for a legitimate reason. They only record on holidays when school is in session (like Jewish holidays). Just make sure to get notes from someone dependable.

None of my professors cared a bit about you missing class (unless you missed EVERY one, of course).

THAT being said, as an evening student I do not think BLS or Rutgers are poor choices if you plan on staying part time. I believe BLS's part time program even surpassed Fordham's this past year. the only reason I know much about BLS's part time program is because someone who worked at my firm is up there in his class there. He has received great OCI interviews and if that doesn't pan out he also has a spot at my firm (which he may take regardless).

Do your scholarships have stipulations? Did you get any money at Fordham? Sticker at Fordham (or anywhere) is a HUGE investment, so I do think this is something you should REALLY deeply consider before making a final decision.

[DTDT]

I did not get a merit scholarship from Fordham but my employer is contributing $15k per year. It certainly is a tough decision, but a good problem to have. If Fordham contributed something via merit scholy it would be a layup. Stips are 80%, pretty standard.

More good news for the w/l perhaps

15k/yr from your employer is pretty quality, congrats on that. Are they willing to give this to you if you go to BLS or Rutgets for COL? Are they are a solid future employer? Feel free to PM if you want to go into particulars about anything.

I got the nod on the Stein Scholars Program today.
