This year, our law school has had a large volume of equally qualified superior candidates. . . . impressed by your personal statement and achievements. . . . your outstanding background would make you an integral part of our Rutgers Law community".

It then goes on to discuss part time and evening programs. If read carefully, it seems to say they might be able to place me in one of these programs, but there is no guarantee. Thats all well and good for a college kid with no real responsibilities who can wait around another six to eight weeks for a definite answer and can afford to throw down multiple seat deposits. I don't have that option. I'm a little annoyed but trying to make the best of things.

I'm also glad I wasnt the only one extremely confused by it. After you emailed the appropriate people have you heard anything back from them? I called them and didnt give my name, and they basically said email the appropriate people if you're interested.

I e-mailed, didn't hear anything back. Called this morning, didn't get a straight answer. I don't want to annoy them with tons of calls and e-mails, but I'd like to know exactly whats going on.

Based on what? And how would that be any "consolation"?

Anyway, based on the schedule, they seem to accommodate parents/spouses

I wanted to bring my son because they have build-a-bear and ice cream treats, but I don't imagine he'd sit still through the mock law class I think its nice that you're bringing your dad. My parents didn't want to pay for the plane flight so I'll probably come alone.

My sister's excited about the Build-a-Bear and ice cream. She's 24 . My parents actually really wanted to go since they're alums from RU-C Law, but they're on vacation.

My packet didn't say anything about it, and I am wondering if I got everything. I got (1) a single letter saying congratulations and (2) a larger packet with my t-shirt and info on the ASD. Was i supposed to get something else?

Also, I'm not going to the ASD as my friend is getting married the same day. Do you think I should RSVP no, or just let it go?
