Asking for more money
I received a full ride from Hofstra and close to a full tuition from Rutgers-Camden. I would really like to go to Brooklyn because I want to practice in NY, but so far have just been offered admit. How would I go about inquiring about scholarship money? (do I write admissions or fin aid?) I also would like some thoughts on Hofstra v Rutgers C. with full tuition to both.

What sorts of jobs are you aiming for? None of these schools is going to give you much of a chance at very many decent jobs that actually require a JD.

It would be better to have a blank space on your resume than any of these schools

Re: Asking for more money
To answer your first question, email finaid with a short statement and attach your other offer letters.
I know several Rutgers law grads (both Camden and Newark) and none of them are working as lawyers. These are otherwise smart and likeable people, too. Just something to consider.

Re: Asking for more money
Was in a very very similar situation with Bklyn, they were offering me a small amount whereas I had a full ride elsewhere, contacted admissions regarding withdrawing, instead of being offered more money, they decided to point out their ranking. Long story short, not going to Bklyn.nylawprospect wrote:I received a full ride from Hofstra and close to a full tuition from Rutgers-Camden.

I didn't outright suggest that I would like more money, but I did suggest that the amount of money they were offering wasn't significant enough for me to choose them.
