how did rutgers notify you?

how did rutgers let you know? thanks and, congrats on your work so far.

if i get in to rut, pitt, iowa or fordham i will take a serious look in that direction. if i get into multiple ones from that list i will weigh the pros and cons of the diff schools. no clear #1 for me, how about u?

check out that ciolli thing they have on here. it seems to be somewhat of a good indicator of which schools hold up and in what regions. i think mason has a good national name, perhaps the best on your list. best of luck!

Hi, congrats on your acceptances! Maryland is a good school, I dont really know too much about it. Its in downtown Baltimore, the area is nice, but small compared to DC...I know several people that go there and enjoy it, they say there is a good bit of competition within sections though....not really sure what else to tell you. You may be able to find some more Maryland related info at <a href="http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/index.php" title="http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/index.php" class="data">http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/index.php</a> use the search function and search for Maryland, there's some really great stuff on there. Good luck with everything!

Looking like your having a pretty good cycle, I can't believe that 20% thing!!

Maryland is a really respected firm around here. In Delaware 90% of the lawyers seem to kind from Widener (or at least the small time lawyers I have come across). I work in a high end custom design firm and have begun asking anyone with ESQ in their title where they went to school. It seems that Maryland, Villanova and Temple are the most respected law schools around here if you forget about UPenn. Good luck!

There are a multitude of factors that contribute to my preferences, including location, my SO's job prospects, and my general vibe of the school. I keep hearing these terrible things about UNC. Not just their law school, but throughout many of their graduate programs. These are from people I trust. When I took a summer session there during undergrad it didn't do anything to ease my concerns.

I went up to Baltimore a few weeks ago and really liked the area. I also went to a UMD open house, and they were very cordial -- they didn't try and oversell themselves. They are who they are. That's very refreshing. Furthermore, if I were to go I would be going PT and commuting in from the suburbs. Housing is a good deal cheaper there, and some would argue safer as well. Downtown Baltimore (where the Law School is located) has a bad reputation. I thought it was fine, but I could see how it would freak many people out.

Congrats on UNC! how did they notify you? When did you go complete?

Congrats!! I love UNC and North Carolina in general, but have a tiny chance of acceptance b/c I'm out-of-state and my LSAT sucks. :( Is this a top choice for you?

Congrats on Maryland as well! Georgia gave me a large scholarship, so it seems the most likely I"ll wind up there. As far as UNC, I love the town, but I went for undergrad, and am ready to try something new. Good luck next year!

Congrats on UNC. I am still waiting to hear from them...probably will be waiting until may, and by then I will have chosen a different school. Don't let the haters get you down. They're just jealous.

Congrats on getting into Maryland! In response to your question, I think that Maryland places slightly better in D.C. than UNC, probably due to geographic proximity more than any qualitative difference in education. If you want to practice north of Northern Virginia (i.e., in D.C., Maryland, Delaware), Maryland will likely offer the best career prospects, If you want to practice in the Norfolk/Newport News area or in NC, I'd go to UNC. Feel free to e-mail me if you have more Maryland questions!

Hooray on your choice -- I was actually seriously considering full sticker for UMD over Wake with a scholarship, but that extra debt + relocation is huge. I really like Maryland, and I hope you do well there (I'm hoping to work in the DC area...I know that makes UMD a better fit but going from Wake isn't impossible either).

Hey stallion: I have a similar background to yours, it seems, and I have around 4 years of solid work experience and will graduate from Notre Dame with my MBA this May. I applied to UNC and am waiting to hear back. I am from Boise, ID., and I am aware of the 75% factor. What chances do you think I have of getting in? ALSO, is it fairly easy to find a nice house? Later, T.
