Re: Rutgers Camden c/o 2016 Applicants
Don't see how my posts would lead you to believe I'm a troll...
I lived in south jersey for 10+ years, so I have a good sense of the area. And I think the merger would be beneficial.
And Woodcrest station is in Cherry Hill. It's the suburbs, so of course you will most likely need to drive a small distance in order to get to the train station. Still beats commuting to Camden and paying for parking.
Are you just mad at me for ripping on Collingswood because you grew up there?

Gotcha. Appreciate the info.
As a current student, do you see rankings going up after a merger?

Patco goes through Cherry Hill... Woodcrest, Ashland and Haddonfield stations all accommodate Cherry Hill residents.
Coolingswood isn't nice at all. I would stick with Cherry Hill or Voorhees.
Sure they 'accomodate' Cherry Hill residents in that they don't turn Cherry Hill people away, but they're not walkable really. I'd like the option of living within a five-ten minute walk to a PATCO station so I can still go out in Philly and not worry about driving or paying for cabs. Aside from that, from what I saw of Collingswood last weekend, it was pretty nice. Especially on Haddon Avenue and by the Cooper River. I don't know what part of Voorhees you're talking about... Voorhees is a shithole.

Re: Rutgers Camden c/o 2016 Applicants
Just as a heads up regarding a merger...this is an excerpt from a message sent to RU-N law students today:
"A combined Rutgers Law School, we believe, could enable us better to address the challenges, of which you are all well-aware, that are currently reshaping legal education and the legal profession nationwide. It is also our hope and expectation that the University will provide tangible support for Rutgers Law so that we can keep legal education accessible and affordable to all qualified students, consistent with the best traditions of public higher education.
Let me quickly, however, dispel any misconceptions about what “Rutgers Law” would entail. First and foremost, Rutgers Law will remain in Newark and Camden. There is absolutely no talk of moving the combined entity to New Brunswick or anywhere else. The public service missions of both schools are inextricably intertwined with their respective local communities, and neither faculty nor administration would countenance a diminution in that commitment."
Also, went on to say that the agreement has been made "in principle"...

Re: Rutgers Camden c/o 2016 Applicants
I just got a flyer saying that the application is free and to apply by March 1. Great timing. But was the application always free? I felt the reason that I didn't apply was because I had to dish out $60

Re: Rutgers Camden c/o 2016 Applicants
Anyone have an idea of how big/small the incoming class size will be?
I heard last year was a record low.

And the year before us was a record high. It's anyone's guess.

Re: Rutgers Camden c/o 2016 Applicants
I'd prefer a small class like 2015, but I'll understand if it returns to normalcy this year. Anybody going to the Dean's Law Day next month? I assume that question can be answered there.

Did everyone who applied hear back yet?
Also, how is RU-C with scholarships?

Are there really only nine people in the 1L evening division right now?
I mean small classes, great, but I think that's just too small...

Nothing the school can do about a lack of interest in the evening program from applicants.

Does anyone know how long it took for your application to go from "active" to "completed." I sent in my app via online and application fee via mail last thurs and it's still under "active." Wondering what is taking them so long to process my application to "completed."

At least a week for me, probably closer to two.

Small classes are great, you learn a lot more than large classes. However, it's much harder to earn an A, not as many dots on the modal curve, if you know anything about statistics.

There's a nice surprise waiting for you if you look up the RU-C Law rules about grading and class size.

Ok, I've gotten a lot of postcards from here, which I'm cool, but mildly annoyed with, but today I got 2 of the exact same postcards, encouraging me to apply before March 1...

I'd like to hear about it. In my small section class (30 students) it was nearly impossible to earn an A, in fact 0 were given and the highest grades were A-s, and you got an A only if you got an A- AND a bump up, which there were only 3. However, in my larger classes since there were more students, there were many more B-s and C+s to allow 14 As in a class of 90. Hence why I prefer larger class sizes.
14/90 is better than 0/30. If you want a B or B+ smaller classes are the way to go as nearly every student gets one. However, I'm an A student not a B+ one, at least in larger classes

(b) The mean grade point average in courses with 10 to 30 students shall be between a 3.10 and 3.40. This shall include adjustments for class participation.
...
(f) Courses with fewer than 10 students, clinics, and courses in which intensive writing credit or skills credit is mandatory are exempt from this rule.

To all of the admitted students: when did you receive your scholarship info? Also, how much did they offer?
