I applied October 8...
For those of you who were admitted this week, especially for those of you who were admitted Monday, do you think you'll get scholarship info by this Friday, or is next week more likely?
I assume it's going to be before April 8, which is when we have to submit the "professional acceptance" deposit if we don't want our applications withdrawn.
I think it'll be next week or week of tbh
but i'm a pessimist
Scholarship offer came through
Same here.
I emailed admissions any they said they hope to have decisions out by the end of this week (I applied January 8)
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what people who get eminent, and establish the requisite residency, generally use the 5k in each of 2L and 3L for?
I mean, does the law school recommend that it be used for certain things, or does it basically just give you the cash and say, "Do with it what you will"?
I personally recommend they send it to me
