Top Law Schools

Anyone else applying or already accepted?

I applied to the PT program.

cool, how long ago did you send your app in? Have you visited the campus?

I applied about a week ago. I visited the campus in 2009 when I was working in Baltimore.

I've applied.

What was it like? I heard they were under construction for a new building, kinda curious about the area and what not

UB is definitely a commuter school so it does not have a real campus feel. I really like the neighborhood (Mt. Vernon) where the school is located. It is kind of the arts/cultural neighborhood in Baltimore and has a pretty cool vibe.

They had just started construction so I didn't really get a good sense of what the building was going to be like.

Admitted a couple of days ago. The packet hasn't arrived so I don't know how much money I will be receiving or what the stipulations will be. Planning to fly out in January to visit.

Haven't received my packet yet either, also planning to visit at some point. I like the joint jd/llm in Tax

Got my packet today

.

Any way to check scholarship money online? I'm sure my packet is at my apartment at school, but I won't be able to get to it until after break.

How long did everyone have to wait to receive their acceptances?

I live and work in Baltimore and pass by the new law school building everyday on my commute. I can tell you this, I think it's going to be a pretty sweet facility that will be on par with UMD's relatively newer law school building.The exterior looks like it will be all glass, and the building is 6-8 stories tall. It's also directly across the street from Penn Station, making it an easy commute for out of town folks.

Peter Angelos wants this school to make it into the rankings and he keeps throwing quite a lot of money into UB. Given UB's reputation in the state of Maryland and its upward trend in admission statistics, I believe it will become a top 100 law school eventually.

It is very difficult to stare at the new building while driving past, and also navigate those sharp curves on I83

W/L'ed with numbers slightly below their median... guessing it's because I'm from out of state. Does anyone know what their w/l history is like? How many get in from it?

Fortunately for me I take the 3, 11, or 61 bus downtown, so I can stare all I want as we slowly crawl down St. Paul street. I just recently sold my car and my firm hooked me up with a zip car account for trips to Annapolis and the county circuit courts

Has anyone heard anything about scholarships yet?

Sent my app in yesterday

Sent my application in for the part-time program on 1/4/12. As of now, my status is still showing complete.

Sent in my app today. 3.2/160

Anybody know how stingy loose they are with scholarships? I know Maryland is pretty tight.

If his commitment to the law school is anything like his commitment to the Orioles, ya'll are in for some trouble.
