DR 2/22, financial aid email 2/23...
Do you think it is a good sign that I got the financial aid email after DR?

Re: McGeorge
Made a visit to McGeorge two weeks ago tomorrow, and was greeted with an acceptance letter and 10k + books, and the top 1/3 contingent. I really enjoyed the campus, but the surrounding neighborhood is really sketchy. I really like SAC, my uncle lives in stockton, so I have had some contact with sac.

What were your impressions of the campus/environment/people? How likely is it that you will be attending?
I signed up for the March 19th day so I'm curious of what to expect.

Re: McGeorge
Campus: Most schools have a law building within a larger campus. This is a whole campus just for law students. In that respect it's pretty cool. And if you live in student housing you are so close to class I think the trash cans are farther than the front door to the classrooms. Pretty cool.gswfan wrote:biobuslaw wrote:Yes.

Environment: Physical - It's surrounded by a not so good neighborhood but doesn't seem altogether threatening. The buildings are really nice. Lots of hi-tech built into every room. And everything is kept up - which is very different from public universities, which are usually kinda run down. Class Environment: Non-competitive, a lot of support from professors, highly interactive. Seems like everyone is there for you. Fact is, everything on the campus is highly focused just on law students.
What to expect: Expect them to really show you they want you next year. Frankly, I was really impressed. I've been admitted to a number of schools, including a top 20 school with money. McGeorge is higher on my list than the top 20 school.

Re: McGeorge
What was the time frame of your visit? Like hours wise? Just wondering because I want to attend on the 19th, but I have to be in Southern CA either later that night or the next day. I have already visited the campus, but am interested to come back and meet with other students and sit in on a class.

Re: McGeorge
I didn't really know McGeorge gave out much in the way of full tuition, but received a Kennedy Fellowship (Full Tuition + Books + Tuition Waiver and Free Lodging at the seminar Anthony Kennedy teaches in Austria during the summer). They do have that pesky Top 1/3 requirement, which makes it less attractive.
I wish I would have gotten the package faster (Decision 3/1, letter arrived Today), so I could have made an last-minute flight out to the school. As it is, March 19 I have booked with a school in the opposite direction, and the April Scholars' Day is after their deposit deadline.
Still, Sacramento does seem like a good place to be for government service.

Re: McGeorge
Thanks for the reply. Now I'm pretty excited about going to their LSD. I'm a little iffy about attending McGeorge just because of the area, the ranking, job prospects, and the price tag. But I'll definitely attend LSD with an open mind.biobuslaw wrote:Campus: Most schools have a law building within a larger campus. This is a whole campus just for law students.

I was going to go to ASD, had a flight and everything, but cancelled it last night. I was as iffy as this person and had gotten into better schools.kgb49 wrote:So your pretty much "a little iffy" about everything.Thanks for the reply. Now I'm pretty excited about going to their LSD.

I know I'm not going, so why waste my time and money visiting? Withdrawn letter sent today.
Best of luck!

Re: McGeorge
Curious, where in the top 20 did you get into with money and have McGeorge be a more interesting option (WUSTL?).biobuslaw wrote:Campus: Most schools have a law building within a larger campus.

Re: McGeorge
Yes, the day is free. Plus they paid for my flight and rental car. ITE I would have had to take a day off work, spend money on a hotel room, and feed myself. I was basically waiting until I visited to withdraw and thought it wasn't really worth it.baboon309 wrote:it`s freeBruinsFan wrote:I was going to go to ASD, had a flight and everything, but cancelled it last night.
