Those all sound like really great reasons to take Seton Hall over Rutgers. Best of luck to you!!!Giles Rich wrote:The Health Law program was one thing.

Re: In at Rutgers Newark!!!
Guys, does anyone know how far Rutgers Law School is from the train station going to Manhattan? I am trying to think whether it will be a safe walk/ride after 8 pm...

Re: In at Rutgers Newark!!!
Penn Station to Rutgers Newark is not a good idea for a walk. Not sure if they have a light rail or anything else that will take you there, but as a Rutgers Newark former undergrad, I wouldn't reccommend that.dapoetic1 wrote:You can walk to Penn Station it's no more than a mile down 2 pretty large/busy streetsolesya154 wrote:Guys, does anyone know how far Rutgers Law School is from the train station going to Manhattan?

Re: In at Rutgers Newark!!!
From Penn Station you can take the light rail to a couple of blocks from the campus. I did this when I visited. After sundown, I probably wouldn't want to walk those couple of blocks (the area's not too great), but I read somewhere on the Rutgers-Newark site that there are free buses or shuttles that go back and forth from either the light rail station or Penn Station, starting from the late afternoon or early evening. I can post more specifics once I find it.IzziesGal wrote:Penn Station to Rutgers Newark is not a good idea for a walk.

It says the shuttle runs every 15 minutes to Broad Street Station and you can take the light rail to Penn Station.

Re: In at Rutgers Newark!!!
So I was looking at the housing options for Seton Hall (I know this is the Rutgers thread, it applies, no worries)...and there are two really nice apartment buildings located really close to both schools. Has anyone lived in/checked out either Eleven 80 (http://www.eleven80rentals.com/) or The Union Building (http://www.unionbuilding.com/index.html).
Just something to kill time I guess.

In via email! Finally!

Re: In at Rutgers Newark!!!
Did you look at that link recently? I'm getting the good old 404 Error for the shuttle information. I'm wondering if any law students do this commute regularly. I was considering it.jpasqu1 wrote: http://www.newark.rutgers.edu/masstransit/

Re: In at Rutgers Newark!!!
I noticed the website was doing that but Rutgers website seems kinda crappy so idk if that is simply the website or is an indication that the shuttle doesn't run. I've got a friend there who takes the train to broad street everyday. He walks from there to campus. He is in UG though so I don't think he is walking back at a late hour. He said that there are plenty of people begging for money on that walk but I'm under the impression he doesn't ever feel threatened. I'll ask him if there is a shuttle that he just doesn't use.holmesNYC wrote:Did you look at that link recently? I'm getting the good old 404 Error for the shuttle information.

Since there was a lengthy discussion here earlier in the thread I thought I should update that I got in via e-mail on 2/24. R-N is my current top choice (pending reaches Fordham and Temple).king3780 wrote:Hearing this is painful for me. I'm also a non-trad, PT, with a 157 and 3.16. Went complete 1/16. So how did you get a response sooner? I could see if you were an auto-admit getting a decision sooner, but I would think my slightly lower LSAT is balanced by my slightly higher GPA. Nothing against you, I just want a decision!nanaNa wrote:In!

Do you all know if there is anyway of hearing back early if we were deferred?

My deferral email said that the latest I will hear from them is mid-April. Let's hope it is true! I also looked at LSN and there is not enough information to know how many people actually get off the waitlistZeph wrote:Do you all know if there is anyway of hearing back early if we were deferred?

Re: In at Rutgers Newark!!!
Every time someone posts randomly in this thread, my heart skips a beat.
I know people had been traditionally notified via snail mail... Have they started e-mailing ALL news to applicants first followed by a snail mail letter? Or are they only e-mailing sometimes?
Because I am seriously dying to hear from them. I know I should be patient. I went complete on 1/29, but people who have gone complete after me are already in.. so.. I'm spazzing. =)

Is being put "on hold" the same as "deferred"? I believe I was put on hold.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
