Who and how do you ask about this travel stipend? Any info would be great.

I'm not 100% certain how all the details work, but as I understand it, you'll mail your receipts to the admissions office after your ASW visit, and then they'll mail you a check.

Thank you! I guess my question is, who do I notify that I'm doing this to ensure that I actually get the reimbursement?

Notify? I don't think you need to formally notify anyone ahead of time. I think the admissions folks are expecting nearly all admits to be seeking reimbursement. As to who exactly you'll be sending the receipts to, I have no idea, but I'm sure the admissions office will let us know in plenty of time. You can always stop by the admissions office during ASW to get solid confirmation.

The Admitted Student Site has a nice .pdf about this, but here is the policy if you are curious-

-Submit original receipts (or print-out of airline receipt)
-Processed after trip, so mail the form and and receipts to Office of Admissions after the ASW
-Deadline is May 2

HTH!

Thank you! There was also some information about this in the welcome packet (which I just received) so I have a very comprehensive view of how this all works.

An information booklet and a t-shirt. It's my ego-boosting shirt when I feel bad.

I think the email from Dean Kramer might be my favorite thing so far! (though obviously the T-Shirt is saweet!)

about how long after getting the admit call did you get the email from Dean Kramer?

IIRC, just over a month!

What was you all's admission conversation with Dean Deal like? Did she talk about specific need-to-know things?

Don't do this to yourself!

You found me.

A guy can dream, can't he?

1) I got a voicemail because I was stuck in a class in a basement...

2) Wait til you find out yourself! It will be more exciting that way ... sometimes I wish I hadn't found TLS, because I always am clued into when decisions are coming out! One day, a pale-colored envelope would have showed up on my doorstep, and I wouldn't even have known that it was a legendary VCE...

I wasn't following SLS on TLS at all when I got the call, and I was seriously 10x more excited about it than for any of the other decisions I have been lucky enough to receive... (though admittedly it being SLS was almost all of that )

This is like being a kid before Christmas....except I have a high chance of coal...

Has anyone applied for financial aid? I'm trying to figure out where to find the "Stanford Law School Independence Test." It says in the initial packet that it will be provided in a future mailing, but I have not yet received it. I want to get my materials in as soon as possible:)

[Hey-O]

I'm just posting in this thread so that I can continue to torture myself by reading about how happy all the admits are. GAH!

I don't think it's available yet. Hopefully it will be before the March 15 deadline. I already submitted my FAFSA, NeedAccess, and tax returns, which should make it pretty clear that I'm applying for financial aid and need that last document. It can't hurt to send an e-mail to Dean Deal if you're concerned.

I'm not that concerned yet...I just hope they put it up soon!

When it does come up, the form itself takes less than 2 minutes to fill out (as long as you're aware of when your parents have claimed you as a dependent these past years).
