What does everyone here know about this school

19:07
I amtrying to gather as much info as i can and i just hear negative things for the most part
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish
16:37
what negative things have you heard?
ScrawnySuperficialBarnacle
11:22
I will say, a lot of the "negative" things you hear are no longer true. NELB is now closer to Suffolk than it ever has before. They have turned the school around quite a bit
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish

I got a full ride but online people have been scaring me from considering NEL

do you wanna live and work in Boston?

yes

@majorlawyer: what do you mean about NELB being out in the open about their full tuition scheme - what does that mean? I am gathering info on schools, don't know much about NELB.

I feel like I never heard any good things about New England Law but when I look at the employment, scholarship retention, and bar passage rates they're honestly really comparable so now Im torn.

I got an unconditional full ride and invitation to the honors program I really only wanna do PI so it's hard to turn down. It seems like NELB has improved a lot in the past years

@MushyItchyFaun: So, I've been receiving lots of mailers/emails about the Sandra Day O'Connor program/scholarship scheme. Essentially, "your LSAT guarantees a full tuItion scholarship if admitted." However, all of that seems non-competitive/means tested. So, my thought is this: Would other schools take this full-tuition offer as a fair bargaining chip in negotiations or would it's credibility be diminished because "everyone" gets it/lower school prestige.

That was a lot -- I'm not planning to apply here, but I wish the best of luck to anyone who does/chooses to attend. Looks like it could be a dream come true for lots of applicants!

I also received an unconditional full ride to New England law and into their honors program. I am going to see the school in person in two weeks and will update on everything. I have found that their communication as of late has been terrible. I received an email back once after asked to schedule a time to meet with people and they answer once. That was a month ago. Now I have sent 5 other emails three to the person that replied to me (like two weeks later each time) and twice to the administrati
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish
12:12
That really concerned me so I am going to make sure to ask a lot of questions when I am at the school
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish
12:15
I am hoping that once I go I will have more clarity on the situation because there's a lot of negative things online, but having a JD with 0 debt sounds like a dream

Wow that would be great if you can update us @BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish

@BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish: that would be really helpful for me as I am in Toronto and not willing to make the trip to Boston for a tour. Also received full scholarship and invitation to the honors program but all I am seeing are people talking negatively about the school... can it really be that bad? I doubt it.
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish

I will update after I see it!

Their un-updated email templates always get me. "Add text here" lol

So I visited and it was cool. Tight-knit community. It is definitely a school where if you want to go into Big Law you shouldn't go to but if you want to do other areas of law it is somewhere to consider
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish
14:40
I asked a lot of questions
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish
14:40
Scholarship is very legit and the additional fees are low
BrokenAheadAvatar
15:37
@BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish: Thanks! But why do you say it's not a school to attend if you want to go into big law?
BrainyDisillusionedAngelfish
10:20
They directly told me that so I am assuming they don't have as many opportunities there
