Student at UB Law, you just had a bad visit, or you heard something from someone?OGR3 wrote:I would strongly advise everyone to visit the school before coming to a decision.
I went to their admitted students day last year. Let's just say it was underwhelming. Buffalo went from #2 or #3 on my list to "there's no way I'm going here" over the span of the morning. I left at lunch to get hot wings at the original Duff's and then skipped town.legal_eagle wrote:Student at UB Law, you just had a bad visit, or you heard something from someone?OGR3 wrote:I would strongly advise everyone to visit the school before coming to a decision.
to be honest when i visited there about 2 months ago i got that exact same feeling. I couldnt exactly explain why i felt underwhelmed so i thought it was just nerves. What did you think was underwhelming?OGR3 wrote:I went to their admitted students day last year. Let's just say it was underwhelming.

The law school's ASD was the same day as the UG's ASD, so I got to compete for parking with a bunch of high schoolers. The city feels like a giant strip mall and the law school building wasn't much better. Their alumni panel was a joke and they didn't even spell my name right on my name tag. Also, they made every prospective student stand up and introduce themselves at the beginning of the day, wasting a good 30-45 minutes.legal_eagle wrote:to be honest when i visited there about 2 months ago i got that exact same feeling.

This was your mistake. Duff's wings are gross and Anchor Bar is overrated. Bob & John's all the way!OGR3 wrote:I went to their admitted students day last year. Let's just say it was underwhelming.

What the HELL are you talking about Duff's wings are gross they are incredible!! I do agree with your assessment of Anchor Bar though.maggiejeter wrote:This was your mistake.

Just found my status checker information e-mail in my spam folder. That is always a good place for it I guess. UR as of 1/13. Hopefully decision will be rendered soon.northwood wrote:I just checked my status, and it says decision renderded. IT came in the postal mail.
Once you are accepted, they will start emailing and sending things in the postal mail
how long did it take you to go from complete to in review.Iceman389 wrote:Decision Rendered Today! I wish they would just tell me now. Ugh. Any idea on when I could expect the letter?
I'm not sure when I went from complete into review because for some reason my status checker email went to my spam folder and by the time I checked my status finally I was already UR 1/13. Decesion made 1/23.legal_eagle wrote:how long did it take you to go from complete to in review.Iceman389 wrote:Decision Rendered Today! I wish they would just tell me now. Ugh.

Also , how long did ti take from review to decision rendered?
Buffalo is definitely more suited for Western NY (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse) and while Albany isn't exactly known for anything other than NY State Government jobs, it is literally right next to vermont so that could help. I would imagine though that Albany grads would have a hard time beating out University of Vermont and UNH grads for jobs in those two states.taxnstuff wrote:In at Buffalo, 159 3.01, white. im guessing the cpa & 2 years xp helped. still waiting on villanova/albany and the hail mary pass to uconn. Anyone have any idea of the reputations throughout new england between buffalo and albany? Ideally I want to live in vermont/new hampshire eventually but I couldnt find a decent school up there for tax attorneys that fit my numbers, so will probably settle for the in state tuition if albany low balls me.
