Is your LSAT a 159? The median is not 159. This is below median. I believe there median was a 161 and a year before that it was a 162.

Didn't mean to offend you or anything. I was trying to convey the (good?) news that part-timers aren't considered any worse or better than full-timers. Good luck.mebo28 wrote: Well I asked this because as many know, the part-time program requires lower numbers overall to get into. No offense, but I just do not need to take guff from some high horsed person about not being up to his or her level. I have dealt enough with that in my life.
The social aspect comes from if I am able to transfer into the day division, I feel that I may not know anyone to study with while everyone already has their study click or whatever.
Yes, I know, I didn't mean to sound snappy at you. I was just curious how the student body there treated everyone. My feeling was, if I am going to be treated like I am the bottom of the pile I would not be interested.Heartford wrote:Didn't mean to offend you or anything.

It is not my understanding that this is a safe assumption. Why would you guess that PT students have worse employment prospects?dr allen pearl wrote:... but wouldn't it be safe to assume that one should be less optimistic about employment opportunities as a part-time student? (vs a full-time Uconn student)
It's possible, but rare that anyone stays in the PT day program beyond 1L. I think there's only one person in the PT day program who is not a 1L and plans on completing the day program as a PT student.Heartford wrote:Really? I'm not so sure this is true.ran12 wrote:
Also the PT program can be done during the day.
There's a lot of anecdotal info in these forums, and none of it indicates that this is the case. Like a previous poster said, some PT people are not at PT because they couldn't get into FT. Personally I just don't want to give up a great salary while I go to school, so I'm likely going PT even with numbers far above UConn's 75ths.dr allen pearl wrote:... but wouldn't it be safe to assume that one should be less optimistic about employment opportunities as a part-time student?

Yea going PT can be a smart financial move. In terms of yearly cost it'll cost less and overall for 4 yrs, a bit more than 3yrs but the income from a job kind of diffuses the difference. If anything, going PT will look the same or better b/c most likely you're working and employers like people who are able to juggle so much.ElvisAaron wrote:There's a lot of anecdotal info in these forums, and none of it indicates that this is the case.

This. Getting legal jobs starts the same way as getting other jobs- you must submit a resume. For some who jumped from undergrad to a full-time law school program, Cold Stone Creamery might be their most extensive work experience. They could be competing for interviews with part-time students who have the same GPAs and extensive (and ongoing) office experience.ran12 wrote: If anything, going PT will look the same or better b/c most likely you're working and employers like people who are able to juggle so much.
If you already sent in both deposits and committed there's no point in going unless you really want to. ASD is more for the school to sell themselves to people than for you to show interest.BrittaBot wrote:Regarding ASD: I've decided to attend UCONN and have sent both my deposits in already, but it would be very difficult for me to attend ASD. Last semester at out-of-state, out-of-region undergrad. Flying 700+ miles for one day with a plane ticket that would probably cost $300+ is not really feasible.
Should I email admissions and let them know I can't really go? I received a significant scholarship, so I sort of feel bad. I would really like to go, obviously, but it would just be too expensive. Would it be really important for me to try and attend, despite the cost? Not really sure what I should do/how I should go about this. I'd appreciate the advice.
