Cardozo Law C/O 2019 Applicants Forum

Has anyone started to negotiate scholarships? Trying to get them to match my tuition for Brooklyn and just sent an email today. When I toured my tour guide said they are really good with working to raise scholarship offers.

No but I am planning on doing that soon. going to ask for a living stipend (and I feel really greedy, but we'll see!)

DOA just emailed me back and said that they typically do reconsiderations throughout March. Probably waiting to see how many people begin to put down seat deposits or give up their seats.

Does anybody know why Cardozo has fallen in the rankings over the last few years? And any educated guesses for if it will keep going down or bounce back?

I know you said via PM but for some reason it wouldn't send the message.
How do you like Cardozo so far? How are the professors, students, and environment?

By far the best student experience I've had at any school I've been in. Each sections has its gunners/annoying people, but for the most part, there's nothing to complain about in terms of the environment.

Professors, like at all schools, are hit and miss. So far, there's only been one professor that I don't really care for, but it's just due to the way that professor teaches the class itself. Beyond that, it's what u generally get in terms of professors.

Agreed. Although there's nothing wrong with taking a full scholly in certain situations, she should have applied to Fordham, NYU and definitely Cornell with those numbers.

I never said I was going, just that I got accepted?? I thought that was what the thread was for, but if it is for only people who were accepted and then planning to attend, sorry, I misunderstood!

Been on the WL for about 2 weeks far, and was asked if I was interested in the May-entry. Are there any downsides (other than obviously starting earlier and being removed from Fall WL) to apply for the May-entry? As far as I know it's not binding, so just wanted some input. I also have no idea if there is a prospect of $$$ if accepted via May.

Hey guys! I was waitlisted at Cardozo this past week. I have average GPA/LSAT statistics (3.15, 158) and am a non-URM applicant (I included a legitimate GPA Addendum). I do, however, have an interesting background and was able to write a strong personal statement. Any tips to get off the waitlist? I've already sent in a Letter of Continued Interest; does this help? Or has anyone on here been admitted off the waitlist for the fall? It's one of my top choices!

[tlsuser101]

Waitlisted for the May entry program...via email

[tezzeret]

Did you apply for the May-entry initially? I was on the Fall wl then decided to give May-entry a shot, but I'm not sure if I can check the status via status checker?

Yes, i applied for may entry

[MilesTheCat]

Has anyone heard of Cardozo offering stipends in addition to full scholarship?

[UDtoLawSchool]

Is anybody considering may entry? I was admitted for the fall but after ASD yesterday I'm thinking about switching to May.
