@CloudySubstantialGoat: the rooftop was what did it for me too! beautiful buildings and view

Hey! I keep hearing some negative things about the area surrounding the school. Anyone that has visited – would you agree? Does it feel unsafe?
im a student at the school right now (I'm back on the website to create a law school admissions workshop for my undergrad) and honestly, it's not bad. We have this program called Urban Alchemy around the school and they ensure the students are safe.
I'm not a student but I lived in SF, the area definitely doesn't feel unsafe
Yes there are so many homeless people around the area but you can choose to live in nearby neighborhoods which are so much safer. Also the school is actively aware and try their best to help students stay safe. There are men in green vests around every corner of the block that watch the students and give them a sense of safety when outside
They’re affiliated with the school
I've been volunteering in the vicinity of UC Hastings for a year now. It's definitely shocking to those unaccustomed to homeless people to even pass by the area, but the Urban Alchemy people do help keep the situation relatively under control.
anyone heard anything?

Anyone know anything about the second round of scholarship reconsideration? and whether there will be one? I was told we'd know by today or tomorrow.
got hit with the R two years in a row <3

Did you have any luck getting in, and if so, any insight you can provide to us?
DazzlingInfamousSparrow

I didn’t. If anyone else heard anything, please let us know!
just got in yesterday and I am not seeing instructions on how to negotiate scholarship or any form. Does anyone know where to find it?
18:02
@HawaiianPizza: they will send you a packet in the mail with information on how to access the admitted students page and apply for reconsideration
18:03
@HawaiianPizza: my understanding was that schol reconsideration closed in March/April, but there might be a second opportunity for students who are admitted later that that in the cycle :)
Has anyone heard anything from the school (for all the waitlist people)
@HawaiianPizza: Email the Admissions Office and the Director of Admissions directly

how much is rent around the areas surrounding the school for 2 bedroom apartments

On second thought maybe a couple hundred more after looking lol

@Turk: I live in Russian hill, which is a mile from the school and a far better area than the civic center/tenderloin. It’s a 2 bedroom with a lot of big common spaces and my roommate and I each pay $1625

is anyone else unable to access the admitted students webpage (even after using the provided password)
has anybody who applied in April heard back yet?
applied in Feb heard back yet..
status changed to in review, how long has it taken people from there?
Hey so has anyone else received an email that your financial aid package is ready - but have not gotten a decision letter? I’ve already tried to call the university and haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone.
