Hey, anyone here planning on applying after the April LSAT?

I was accepted into Rutgers yesterday but there was no scholarship info. Does this mean I didn't receive one or could it be sent at a later time?

I also got my accept from rutgers last night. My scholarship info came in a separate email about an hour later

12:29
okay, thank you!
My app went into review on 1/25 has anyone heard back?
Anyone here attending for sure? Didn't start as my top choice, but the money is somewhat hard to turn down. Everyone I've talked to from the programs has been so freaking nice too.

I was somewhat concerned by the drop in rankings. Not sure if anyone knows why?? I also heard there was a lawsuit against Rutgers Law, and was wondering if that could drop rankings further in the future?? I haven't applied yet as a result.
14:38
It is because in 2023 the Camden & Newark numbers were combined. The Newark Bar passing rate is 80% and Camden is 50%

12:37
it has very similar employment outcomes in NJ to Seton Hall which (while ranked higher) is often 2-3x the price.

newark was historically ranked higher (70s) and camden was (100s) when campuses merged, there was some impact from that, but also they were very cautious with covid which had an impact.
[] ConcernedTearfulHornet
12:39
but in terms of school in that ranking area, rutgers punches above its weight
14:25
any idea when they will start taking in WLed students?
@ShoobyTooby: I think around when seat deposits start (so like mid April ish?)
13:04
Any other groupchat for attending students besides the Facebook page?
