RUTurbo Wrote:creationstory - DEBATE FAIL - you lost all credibility when you said you'd rather go to Princeton - have fun there!! You'd be the first graduate EVER!! LOL Princeton hasn't graduated a law class since the before the Civil War!!! Also a LSAC 4.0 from any school is a LSAC 4.0 plain and simple! Maybe you should use google.com and learn bout the Law School Admissions process or visit one of the many law school forums! And who said anything about wanting a Top Firm job?? My interest in law has will not be found in any V-5 V250 firm. I plan on going into Public Interest and in my very specific case whether I graduate from Columbia or Cooley the goal is to get a JD not to get rich. As far as you continuing on about rankings - Rutgers is currently ranked number 66 in the nation out of 2913 4 year degree granting institutions, the schools you mentioned all in the Top-25 with UCLA being the lowest at 24. Using my fancy Rutgers math that ranking puts Rutgers in the 99.92 percentile - not to shabby. For you to argue anything other than that Rutgers is a Tier 1 first class research university is ridiculous. Your argument boils down to this - to use your car analogy - Rutgers is a kick butt fully loaded top of the line Mercedes - however its not a Rolls Royce so therefore it can't be great. Blatant anti-Rutgers trolling as many on the law-school forums would put it! And you still fail to mention why this merger is bad for any reason.
lol... sorry you were defeated...
princeton or rutgers undergrad... lol.. u failed! i never ever mentioned princeton having a law school! i said a princeton undergrad is worth more than a rutgers undergrad with an good law school...
i know the law school admissions process quite well... apparently you know a lot.. but not a whole lot! trust me.. i am quite familiar
here let me show you something..
GPA related to academic major. Some majors are believed to be harder than others. A law school applicant who earned a 3.0 GPA in a very challenging major (e.g., physics) is not being treated the same as an applicant who received a 3.0 GPA in a major that is not believed to be very challenging. Some undergraduate majors have limited admission, which means that a higher GPA is required for admission to the program, but then higher grades are given in courses..
Pre-Law Studies - Admissions
if you think a 4.0 is a 4.0.. u really should do more research.. that is the same reason why they created the SAT's.. to tell the difference between average students and great students.. something standardized!
and you are still using some ranking system... 2913 in the UNITED STATES.. right? so there are at least 66 school ranked far higher than RUTGERS...
but when i looked at top 100 national universities in the nation.. rutgers was nowhere to be found.. whats up with that my brother?
National Universities Rankings - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report
are you saying that rutgers with all that great rankings you speak of is better than any of these public institutions?

seriously!!! come on! i guess that MERCEDES has a lot of competition!!!! or maybe ur rutgers degree is a E class mercedes.. while those other schools are G Wagon Mercedes! But wait... those are public institutions.. we haven't even looked at private institutions.. lol.. yeah.. yawn...
so rutgers is a tier one research institution.. again you've eliminated many many other institutions.. like non research institutions.. which can easily be
75% of all colleges and universities.. rutgers is 3 campus'
i've been on this forum far longer than you have and have been a contributing member.. so i am no troll! you are the troll spreading rutgers propaganda!
TESC serves a specific population and for a specific need.. there is no guarantee that if or when Rutgers does take over it will still service this specific need. Excelsior does not accept certain credits that TESC does with no issue...
