I'll bite your passive-aggressive nugget. Who's shadow are we talking about here? Newark? PA schools? The 1-75 higher rated?Snuffie wrote:I'd rather not live under someone else's shadow. Anyway I've digressed. Congratulations and best of luck!

Not at all. I am just honestly looking for some reconciliation between that cliffhanger and our own thoughts.Snuffie wrote: If you took me as a troll, please know my message was submitted in earnest.

Perfectly understandable, but you have to know that with the limitations of written communication the poignancy of your message will be mis-attributed. Best of luck in your own pursuits.Snuffie wrote: Fair enough. When I wrote that first message, my intent wasn't to leave people guessing, though I should certainly have expected that. I was preoccupied with the idea of coasting on someone else's legacy, and I have to admit, as a prospective law school student, it has weighed upon me heavily.
The "shadow" I'm referring to is a family member who was a member of the Camden faculty.
Congratulations!!! If you don't mind me asking, what were your numbers?dp73816 wrote:In today ($5000 scholarship) with a very long email. Not gonna lie, I was pretty surprised by the scholarship - I had a very low LSAT score, but apparently some rock-solid EC's that they liked. Ive gotten less money from T-4 school's....but whatever, Im not gonna question their genius. Unless UNC-CH or Notre Dame comes through, it looks like Ill have to stock up on the hair gel...
(but I'm keeping my hat and 2 shirts!)Where are you going Burger?Burger in a can wrote:Withdrew today. I hope my spot and $$$ go to one of you guys!
I'm still torn between UConn and RU-Newark. I withdrew from all of my other acceptances today because it was starting to feel like I was hoarding them while other people were waiting patiently for their decisions.Onion wrote:Where are you going Burger?Burger in a can wrote:Withdrew today.

Well congrats on your cycle... I went to Newark last week and it was really nice. Have not seen UConn since I looked for undergrad but I remember liking the school in general. Good luck to you!Burger in a can wrote:I'm still torn between UConn and RU-Newark.

Visited UConn recently, was blown away by the campus and surrounding area. I'll be visiting Newark next week.
Thanks! Good luck to you too! I think Camden is an awesome school and I'm sure you will love it there!Onion wrote: Well congrats on your cycle... I went to Newark last week and it was really nice.

152, 3.48 LSDAS non-URM...theres some deep satisfaction in proving lawschoolpredictor.com wrong...
Yeah, I applied late here too, thinking of it as a safety for Philly (over, say, PSU). They turned the whole thing around with a scholly decision in about 2 weeks.Bearcat wrote:Just received acceptance letter via email yesterday from Camden! I applied extremely late and with my subpar gpa of 2.43, I thought that I wouldn't have a shot but studying for the LSAT seems to have paid off. In with $5k a year pending a 3.3 GPA or higher. This was my first acceptance and I was surprised at how fast the response was because I went complete at the end of February. Who else is going to visit on Dean's Law Day? Hope to see you guys there.
He may answer this eventually but my guess is that his decision is based on post-grad job opportunities (or possibly scholly)...dshirs32 wrote:I received my acceptance as well last week with a 5k per year scholarship, very excited. Question for Burger...why choose Newark over Camden? Both are in pretty crappy areas but Camden is the higher ranked school

RU-C = Philly or NJ jobs
RU-N = NJ or NYC
in general...
T2 are all pretty similar in the way that they mostly place grads regionally... Employers do not check USN Rankings when deciding who to interview/hire... they interview/hire from schools they are familiar with... so it follows that "local" schools that have already supplied associates to the firm will be higher choices then those who the firm is not familiar with.... In short, rankings are mostly for ego stroking... Decide where you want to practice and see where their associates went to school... Much better than relying on USN...

I called both financial aid and admissions about travel stipends. They stated that other than the group rates they've booked through local hotels they don't offer any other assistance.I think I'll be attending the Dean's Day as well - Heard anything about travel stipends? (apologies, I posted in another thread as well)
