..oh UPenn, how little lay prestige you have.
just started this thread on negotiating merit aid. it may be relevant to some of yousarahlawg wrote:Have they already sent out Levy invites to people? On the admitted students site it says they'll start the first round of merit-based aid offers in 2-3 weeks, so does that mean that's when they'll send out the invites, or that's when they'll send out offers on invites? I was looking through last year's LSN data and saw people were getting those invites this time last year.

I just got the faculty profiles thing in the mail this week (also got one from NYU). TBH I'm not entirely sure what to do with them other than read it and think "cool, they have professors doing cool things..."dulcatis wrote:Yeah they said they were, maybe they were just lying?
I don't get back to my law school mailing address til Friday. Will def post what I have then.
Check the pic thread for photos I took last week. BTW I still only have 2 viewbooks, 1 from Berkeley 1 from USC.

Don't law schools know that the ways to our hearts is through pretty pictures of buildings, smiling faces, and employment data?
Me too. What's up with that?r6_philly wrote:I only got a faculty book so far, I thought they were going to send a packet out by now?dulcatis wrote:Taggingggg

Oh I definitely appreciated the photos! I requested a bunch of viewbooks earlier this summer, and picked some up at a law fair at my school, so I have some nice pictures.r6_philly wrote:Check the pic thread for photos I took last week.

Which is all the more disappointing that I have not received any from UT (they sent a UG catalog...) and Penn (yet).The Stig wrote: I feel like there is a definite difference between getting a viewbook and an admitted student viewbook. It's as though the tables have turned in that before, you wanted them, and now they want you... makes me
did you not check the box for LSAC? I have a viewbook from like every law school in existence. they won't stop sending them!r6_philly wrote: Check the pic thread for photos I took last week. BTW I still only have 2 viewbooks, 1 from Berkeley 1 from USC. I can't believe it.
Yeah I went to one of the LSAC forums, so I picked up a book from every school I applied to then. I agree that they're a lot better once you're accepted though. There's no way I'm going to Cornell, but their big pretty binder almost put them back on my list. I'm excited for Penn's though. I hope it's a beautiful work of art!!!sarahlawg wrote:did you not check the box for LSAC?

All it does it make me feel vastly inferior...some of these folks have a zillion phds in hard sciences from ivies and oh btw a law degree from Yale.The Stig wrote:

I still think you should take 20 minutes and request viewbooks (some call them 'bulletins') from the websites...a few (Chicago and UVA off the top of my head) explicitly state not to ask for one and to save trees by looking at it online. The others have a simple address form to fill out and boom they're in your mailbox.r6_philly wrote:

You are totally right! I started reading through UPenn's and didn't even know what some of the degrees they had were...pereira6 wrote:All it does it make me feel vastly inferior...some of these folks have a zillion phds in hard sciences from ivies and oh btw a law degree from Yale.The Stig wrote:

Sooooo excited!!! Cornell's was awesome but I don't want to go there and I was a little underwhelmed by NYU's, so I'm hoping that Penn will be the best of both worlds!bdubs wrote:Binders are supposed to go out at the end of this week or beginning of next week.achilles wrote:i think penn said they'd be sending the portfolios in late January, so they should be mailing them soon!
All sticker I would choose Penn over CCN. Penn has just received a large grant to expand their Internet Law program, which is going to be my specialty. So it moved up several notches for me yesterday.bdubs wrote:So I just visited at Penn recently and all of the people they matched me up with talked about reasons for choosing Penn over Columbia and NYU. I was really glad to hear that there people at Penn who do choose to attend over CCN.
Just curious how many of the admits to Penn here on TLS would do the same?

I am trying to find out more about their program. I am definitely heading in this area since it's an extension of my professional career. I just want to know if Penn's offering is as competitive and comprehensive as Berkeley's. The grant is sure to generate some good options since it is to be spent on policy research. I am studying public policy/admin right now so this may be the perfect thing for me.silly101 wrote:i have heard that cyber law may be the next big thing, with penn's internet law program, yes?
Yeah, I really hope that new grant helps boost their technology law programs. If so, that totally moves Penn up my list too!silly101 wrote:i have heard that cyber law may be the next big thing, with penn's internet law program, yes?
