Some interesting facts about New England Law - Boston

New England Law | Boston is the only independent law school in Boston. Law is all we do. Our energies are focused entirely on providing students with a superior legal education that opens doors to future opportunities.

New England Law has upheld this legacy of excellence for more than a century. This tradition stems from its founding in 1908 as Portia Law School, the first law school in the nation established exclusively for women. That inclusive—and revolutionary—spirit continues today with a diverse student body of men and women from around the world. The school became coeducational in 1938, and its alumni live and work across the United States and in 29 countries worldwide.

Located in the heart of Boston’s legal community, New England Law offers in-demand academic programs; a friendly, diverse community; and a range of experiential learning opportunities that is among the most varied in the nation. Eight US Supreme Court justices have visited New England Law, lectured at the school, or taught in our summer-abroad programs.

New England Law faculty bring to the classroom and to the field their exceptional academic credentials, years of hard-won legal victories, influential research, and a proven ability to communicate their expertise and enthusiasm. Perhaps more importantly, our professors are truly committed to our students’ success. “The faculty are deeply invested and committed to students’ success. They are active mentors in aiding us to become the best lawyers possible.” —Stephanie Niles ’20

has anyone successfully negotiated their scholarship? I was hoping for more
I would love info about that in general. I didn't know that was a thing until recently!
16:23
honestly neither did I but I saw someone say it on reddit that they negotiated. im not sure if it was trolling tho
I've seen it on reddit a lot as well and here on this site, too, in the chat. From what I understand, some of it is that they're playing offers off of each other. So if you have another school offering more, etc., etc., etc.

If you look at bar passage rates for schools in MA, you'll notice that in 2020 (most recent year reported), NE Law was ahead of all except Harvard, BU, BC, and Northeastern.

you need to get the data from ABA directly on their "statistics" page
i got 50 a year here conditional. Faulkner gave me a full ride. Im into FIU, in state. If i get into FSU or UF im going. FIU at full price may still be better than this on scholarship. Picking a school is so fuckingstressful]
@FlutteringSqueamishPuffin: What were the conditions?
Also, for those of you who were accepted, when did you receive scholarship info?
@TrueHistoricalGoddess: I got mine the same day I think
@MarriedUttermostPug: Thanks for responding. Apparently I was overanxious (shocker, I know!) and did get mine shortly after my acceptance. Just waiting on my other schools to decide and/or pony up some numbers!

hi guys! I was able to negotiate my scholarship - wanted to share and encourage others to do so!
Congrats, Snippy! Is this the direction you're leaning?
Sad I was waitlisted here- received an email saying “In order to help the Admissions Committee with their review, we suggest sending updated transcripts, if available, to LSAC so that they can provide us with new CAS reports. You also may be able to increase the likelihood of admission on reapplication by improving your LSAT score (especially if you have only taken the exam once) or by showing new or additional work experience, graduate work, or other law-related activity. ”
Little confused about the transcripts as I completed CAS far after I graduated with my BA

Just got waitlisted lmao
I just replied to you on the Suffolk thread. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
