The remote learning aspect isn't a problem for me (100% online was an option even pre-pandemic) but my concerns are: 1) scholarships/funding might dry up, and 2) the recession and difficulty in finding a job for during the program or postgrad. Is it wise to defer?

Bump. Also interested!

Waiting on info re: institutional scholarships!

Got into Rutgers MLIS program!

Got into Rutgers. Attending!

How generous is Rutgers with financial aid?

App is complete for Rutgers...now the wait begins!

Anyone else apply?

Anyone else apply?

Anyone hear back from Rutgers?!

The conventional wisdom is that ranking doesn't matter for hiring, so long as the school is ALA accredited.

For those of you who applied to Rutgers, how long did it take to hear back?

Congrats! Did you make a decision?

How long did people wait to hear back from Rutgers and USC (online)?

many thanks!

Not yet! I am clerking. But that is my dream job. I'm presently applying to MLIS programs.

Greetings! Applying for fall 2020. What outside (i.e. not institutional) scholarships are you folks applying to? I really don't want to take out loans and hope to go as cheaply as possible.

Anyone applying to USC?

Applying to Rutgers.

I excelled academically in undergraduate (magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, etc.) but completely floundered in my JD program-sub-3.0 GPA, ~35th %ile of the class, no Latin honors, etc. I also took medical leave, so there are a bunch of withdrawals on my transcript. Will this be a serious red flag? I'm concerned that admissions offices will see my law school performance and question whether I am truly intellectually capable of successfully completing graduate-level work..

Congrats! I'm 100% set on law librarianship.

Hope to submit by end of the month!

Congrats! I wish their Law LIbrarian program was offered online, but alas.

Did you end up getting into Rutgers?
