i got accepted like three weeks ago and still haven't gotten anything tangible in the mail. is this overly long? anyone else have to wait this length of time? is there anything in whatever packet i will (hopefully) receive that I can't find on the Admitted students website? anyone can shed any light on any of this, it'd be much appreciated. thx.
they are pretty slow with mailing stuff...

...nothing you can not find on the ASW, dont worry

or go the safer rought and throw a pair of pants on?
wear jeans, dress shoes and a button down shirt (untucked). Best of both worlds.
i think TITCR but I might throw the slacks on anyway. I guess it kind of depends on if i make it home after work on fri nite/before I go to the ASD Saturday morning....
i'm not sure what i'm gonna do yet, but fwiw, the consensus overall for ASDs seems to be that decent jeans are fine...i spoke to someone who'd gone to one of the previous fordham ASDs and they mentioned that jeans were pretty much par for the course

Ohai. I am glad to know there IS a thread after all.

Soo.. there's a slim chance Emory might be able to buy me off, but I'm 95% sure I'm going to Fordham. Hello, possible/likely classmates. How informative is that binder? Allegedly mine was mailed a week ago, but I haven't received it yet.

Quite informative. I would try to obtain a copy, even if it means bugging the admissions office further.

I have been accepted for like 6 weeks and still don't have the binder.

Also, I live in Manhattan lol

Is there actually anything in it that I can't find on the website?

I live in Manhattan and my status checker reflects this yet they still send all my mailings (including the binder) to my permanent address in Boston. Go figure.

I'm in the exact same boat. The binder and acceptance letter were supposedly mailed on the 30th, but I don't have either yet, and I live in Brooklyn.

Ironically, I did receive the financial aid booklet...

The financial aid packet got delivered yesterday, and I received the binder and official letter today; chances are if you have received the one the other is probably on its way.

Hey, if you don't mind, where are you located and when did your status checker say that they were sent?

Very excited - I just submitted an application to their Stein Scholars Program for public interest yesterday. Today, I found out that the head of that program, the very individual to whom I submitted my application, is going to be on a panel here at my place of employment next Monday night! Can't beat that opportunity with a stick - you bet I'm going to show up and set the charm on stun.

Do you think applying to this program is a good idea even if I'm not 100% committed to working in public interest after law school?

It doesn't cost anything to apply, and it's not some huge, terrible application (five questions about why do you want to do this, basically), so I wouldn't say it's a bad idea. If you're interested in legal ethics, you might find the coursework interesting. That said, the main thrust of it is to get you into summer externships in public interest organizations; if you want to go into a law firm after graduation, you'd doubtlessly be better off trying to get a summer associate gig instead.

I mailed my first deposit last week. I'm waiting on decisions for a couple of wait lists; if they don't work out in my favor, I'll be at Fordham come August.

I think I will be there too. Wish they had offered me some merit aid.

Pretty sure I'll be attending Fordham in August. In any case, it is the only place I'm putting a seat deposit down.

Now where I'll be living in August, that is another issue all together....

Yeah I love my building. Its young and good-looking. Its not that cheap though. But I hear Astoria (in Queens) is great for younger people looking to pay a little less.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
