MEphillygirl11 (2022-2023)

working in Phila. law firm for 8 years, paralegal position, full-time while attending classes part-time at night, 30 years old

other misc: attended 3 institutions, William & Mary gpa brought my LSDAS GPA DOWN! transferred to TU after horrible start at W&M to the music program, got in car accident, part-timed school with CJ major, had ~3.2 at TU until moved to NJ, graduated GPA @ Rutgers Camden undergrad was 3.95 (55 credits out of 120), highest honors

worried that my overall GPA would hurt me and didn't know how much of my work experience and "nontraditional" status would come into play. . .

4-3 rec'd package from TU confirming acceptance - no scholarship $ which reinforces even more my decision to attend RU

3-31-07 it's pretty much done that i will be attending RU (barring a full ride from any of the other schools) - met some very cool profs/deans/1Ls and really excited -found out though that pretty much all scholarship $ has been doled out already so if you haven't gotten notice of $$ (other than f. aid). . . dean suggested that i look online and apply once midway through 1L for $$ for 2L. . .that's what i figured. . .

attending RU's Dean's Law Day tomorrow, i think i'm "conditionally accepted" for the summer - which is great since i wanted to be a night student and i can knock one class out of the way - hopefully everything will work out tomorrow!

I was going to apply to Drexel and UPenn but knew that I was going to be a night student so limited it to the main 4 around this area - now that i'm int at TU i probably won't be applying to either school
