S08E03: Rethinking the Road to Law School — with Sr. Assoc. Dean for Enrollment Management & Financial Aid, Matt Saleh

Matt Saleh, senior associate dean for Enrollment Management and Financial Aid, returns to talk with podcast host and Rutgers Law School Dean Johanna Bond about the growing number of ways to earn a Rutgers Law degree. They cover the new part-time Online J.D. program, how it compares to the hybrid evening program, the 3+3 program, and the two-year accelerated J.D. for foreign-trained lawyers. They also look at a more competitive admissions landscape, with applications to Rutgers up more than 44% in two years, and at how the new $50,000 federal loan cap is changing where students choose to enroll. Dean Saleh explains Rutgers’ holistic approach to admissions and scholarships, why the school dropped conditional scholarships, and its equity-based stance on applicants using AI. He also shares the qualities that best predict law school success and his advice for anyone unsure whether they’re “good enough” to apply. -- The Power of Attorney is produced by Rutgers Law School.
