I wanted to but couldn't get off work. I will be going to one later in the cycle though.

When I toured the school they seemed to be adamant that the PT program is not necessarily a way to get in with sub par numbers... They look for a demonstrated "fit factor". Having WE and a graduate degree def helps! My UGPA sucks but a demonstrated ability to complete a masters while working full time probably really helped with their "fit factor" assessment.
But, the earlier you apply the better... Last year they accepted a total of 128 people to the PT program and about 60 matriculated.

I'm applying to the PT program because I have a non-profit job that I'm working at now and committed two years to. I plan on transferring to the FT program after the first year when I leave that job.

-really good impression from the faculty/staff. They seem to truly care and were approachable and genuine.
-class size was smaller than I expected for Rutgers (sat in on a Con Law class)
-good looking facilities- the building seems fairly new and the campus was safer than I expected as well
-heard from current students about journals, LR, moot court, etc.
The open house helped seal the deal for me at RU. So far, it seems like a great place to get a legal education, carries a LOT of weight in NJ, and the overall "vibe" of the school was extremely pleasant and I could definitely see myself there. If you have any specific questions, I could try and answer them. Hope this helps neeko
