Law School Discussion

I think Pace is beautiful. I was very impressed with the school when I went to interview there. They have an amazing Enviro Law program, which is very appealing to me.

I like what I see of NYLS, although it is soooooooo expensive. I applied there and will only consider attending if I get a very large scholarship. The admissions people are very friendly and returned my phone call very promptly.

I don't know what I was thinking actually. I know it's sad. I guess I'm just a big pessimist and I figured if all else failed at least I would have somewhere to go. They had been spaming me ever since I registered with the LSAC and I knew they would take me and throw some money my way...

Seton Hall rejection said such things as

Although the end said something to the extent of "this decision is final!" I felt like I was back in high school and my mom was yelling at me... NO YOU CAN'T GO OUT TONIGHT AND THATS FINAL! Like I was gonna call up and beg them... please let me in your school, I'll be good I PROMISE!

So I received my first rejection in the mail yesterday from Seton Hall. Ouch did it sting. I thought I was somewhat competitive for that school, but I guess I was wrong. Perhaps sending a PS that includes a section explaining my struggles as a gay female to an Irish Catholic school wasn't such a good idea... anway, my question for you all is this...

Do I have no shot at Rutgers Newark since Seton Hall dinged me? I have sent Rutgers everything except their application fee. I would rather not waste the $$$ if I don't have to. I'm not that hard up for cash, but I hate to throw away money if my chances are slim. What do you think?

I believe the NY Law School program is called AAMPLE. I know that Albany has it...
