Hello gurus, I have a question about applying for loans while being on the waitlist. Let's say I were on a waitlist, but went ahead and accepted a seat at another school, got a financial aid offer, and took out loans to cover the difference. But then in July, "waitlist school" offers me a seat. I t...

I would show Northwestern's offer and ask them to match. I wouldn't worry about what the 509 says especially because this year Dean Chem said that they are offering a million more in scholarship money than the year before . Dietcoke, can you please provide a source for this? I have scoured the inte...

Good question for Mike Spivey on his thread

Anyone have any luck having their scholarship increased?

Btw, despite UCI's awesome jump to the 21 slot, I can say first hand that UCLA firmly doesn't see them as a peer school; I got a 6 hour rejection turnaround from UCLA on a reconsideration request using Irvine's offer.

Recieved my scholarship info today. I also withdrew today... there was a missing diget from their offer and it wasn't a typo, lol. Cheers to those that got a tenable offer.

Does anyone know when aid awards are usually sent out for admitted students? I received a generous Berkeley scholarship with an April 1 deadline, so my decision-window tightened up a bit. I'm surprised that you are debating this to be honest. Stanford. I don't think it's that simple. If Berkeley is...

Got the Iowa "funds have been depleted" email this morning. "We appreciate your continuing interest in The University of Iowa College of Law. It has been determined that our scholarship budget is depleted of scholarship funds, for now, and we are unable to award more scholarships at this time. We m...

Got this email from them today: Hi [NAME], Thank you for applying to Emory Law. Your application is currently in review, and we know you've been waiting patiently. We will provide you with an initial decision by the end of March. We appreciate your continued patience as we provide a comprehensive a...

Vanderbilt or WashU cannot be relied upon for BL, particularly if the economy changes :shock: Geaux Cornell! unless NW matches +/- 10K. That's what I worry about, and what I'm incorporating into my calculus about where to go. It seems rather probable that there will be another economic down turn in...

don't retake in june bc you feel like you have to. retake bc you feel ready. i think you need to wait for the september test date; a june test does nothing for you.

This. + 1,000

Option 3: Withdraw your apps now, retake in June (and Sept. if needed), and reapply in October to maximize your options. You should not attend law school with a 155 LSAT, ESPECIALLY if your PT range was nearly 10 points higher.

Interview request today. Commence furious sweating. No reason to be nervous- their admissions staff are all so nice and friendly! Just be yourself and I'm sure you will do great :) I echo this sentiment. I've had nothing but the best experiences with UVA representatives. They are very kind and welc...

If I can discern the type of food crumbs that were contained on my rejection letter and within that letter's envelope from an unnamed T14 law school, could such investigative work warrant a second consideration for admissions? (true story!)

going back, c/o 2019 has 24 waves too and looks like c/o 2018 had at least 20, but probably more. unless they’re doing larger waves, i think there are still at least 4-5 JS1 waves to go

This. The height of obsessive HLS applicants.

I haven’t received any scholarship info yet, but I’m curious where the April 1 reconsideration deadline is coming from? On the financial aid website it says reconsideration will take place from March 20-May 1. Do the offer letters/emails specifically say April 1? That seems absurd My offer states t...

Can anyone explain Vanderbilt's exceptionally long process? I get a 'thorough' review process but upwards of 4 to 8 months (on avg), and some cases even longer? What is the rationale behind this kind of timeline?

Any thoughts on ASD? I walked away really impressed. Maurer seems like a very friendly and welcoming environment.
