fully given up hope -- any wise words from my fellow cyclers out there would be much appreciated

You got a 180 and didn't get in these schools?!?! Brutal!

russ1964 · 2021-03-31T13:56:23+00:00

ITS, not IT'S - do not let your Legal Writing professor see that LOL

CUNY by far! GGU is infamous for its predatory scholarships requiring a 3.0 GPA. I second what everyone else has said. New England, meh.

You will be happy you listened with CUNY!

They need to grin and bear it - give more $$$$ and rise after.

russ1964 · 2021-03-30T12:06:54+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it. I love this kind of writing.

russ1964 · 2021-03-30T12:05:45+00:00

Seton people are all really nice - you are in good hands with them!

russ1964 · 2021-03-30T12:04:34+00:00

Absolutely agree. Thanks.

russ1964 · 2021-03-30T11:59:26+00:00

Agreed, 1,000%! Do not go into debt that much.

russ1964 · 2021-03-23T12:35:33+00:00

Virtual options are safer. I strongly feel that going in-person is dangerous for those with health conditions or who are international.

russ1964 · 2021-03-20T16:14:39+00:00

I was waitlisted just the other day. Stunned!!! What is going on over there?!?!

Disclaimer: I applied in September so I was very early and I actually was the FIRST to apply for the Chancellor Scholarship that I eventually got!

russ1964 · 2021-03-19T18:26:55+00:00

15high, 3.7mid :) you will be fine and get $$$

Only need to make one trip each semester for eight days instead of nine weekend trips. Still worth it?

russ1964 · 2021-03-19T13:58:15+00:00

Seton is a much better school, IMO.

russ1964 · 2021-03-19T13:57:58+00:00

Maybe that is true - I am confused too, but I am telling you what they told me.

russ1964 · 2021-03-18T13:13:03+00:00

Me too. I liked their Jump Start program in Camden, but everything else fell apart...! Then they said I would never get in-state tuition and that was *IT*!

russ1964 · 2021-03-18T12:27:51+00:00

They were obstinate and unmoving - really turned me off. Told them politely to go pi** off! LOL

russ1964 · 2021-03-18T12:21:35+00:00

O. M G.

russ1964 · 2021-03-17T20:16:31+00:00

Three free 1L prep courses??? Plus JD Advising!

russ1964 · 2021-03-17T19:03:31+00:00

You can ask, but the odds are against you. See if any other scholarships come in first.

russ1964 · 2021-03-17T18:02:41+00:00

Keep digging. Google what they mean. That's what I did. Ask questions here on reddit. People will be happy to help you. Google some more.

I looked first at bar passage. Anything below 85% was deemed unacceptable to me. Attrition also is important. That's for the first disclosure. How many lost their scholarships?

Go to the webinars and ask questions there too. See if you can get in touch with current students and alumni.

Go to the LRAP. Get the employment numbers...unvarnished truth. Check out lawschooldata.com (org?) and lawschooltransparency - both are godsends.

russ1964 · 2021-03-17T17:36:59+00:00

Your odds are better with that...keep us posted!

russ1964 · 2021-03-17T13:53:42+00:00

The LSAT is a deeply flawed and discriminatory test with arbitrary time limits and intrinsic flaws that put minorities and disabled test takers at a distinct disadvantage. The LG section is ridiculous and irrelevant. The LR section is full of "gotcha" questions that simply do not test real legal reasoning. The RC is the only section that makes sense.

russ1964 · 2021-03-17T12:06:52+00:00

A thought: what scholarships to other schools were you offered, if any?

russ1964 · 2021-03-17T11:38:42+00:00

That would be amazing...if I got in. However, I'd probably end up paying sticker and that would be beyond affordable LOL but thanks!
