Here's the link to last years thread: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 3&t=200475

Tons of good info, I have been reading it while procrastinating at work and getting even more excited to visit!

Does anyone know when they send out that financial aid email they referred to in the acceptance email?

Decisions will be made at the end of February and notifications should be out before mid-March.

Hey ChampagnePapi - could you add the information from the OP of last year's thread to this year? TYIA

Grats guys, current 2L and happy to answer questions you might have either here or by PM. If you post any questions in any thread on TLS that has even the most tenuous of connections to UChi I will surely happen upon it there too.

Done. I can update it too if you guys want to add anything.

Does anyone else still have their interviewer in their Skype contacts? Every time I go to delete him, some superstition keeps me from doing it.

Maybe I'm just subconsciously planning to call him sometime and see what's up.

I do, but I also never really use my Skype account, so I have lots of people in there I spoke too once then never again. However, I support your superstition.

Any idea when we hear back about merit scholarships?

[Ricky-Bobby]

Any idea when we hear back about merit scholarships?

We will begin to release awards in early March to those students having completed their forms on time.  Please note that we do not begin to pull forms until after the deadline so we will not be able to confirm receipt before then. However, if you are admitted later in the season, you will receive your award approximately a month after your admission.

Ah thanks, I haven't begun to look at Chicago's information yet. Sounds like Chicago requires financial aid forms for you to be considered for merit scholarships.

No, they just put that in there for merit/need scholarships. You are automatically considered for merit scholarships upon admittance.

We just don't find out until March.

I'm way early on this but I'm heading out of the country soon. Anyone looking for a roommate in Regents for the fall? Apparently it is the place to be.

I'm a pretty normal dude. 25 years old. Average looks, above average charm.

I can't find the link anymore but I remember seeing Regents is ~1100/mo for a studio and ~1600/mo total for a double, which seems like a good deal. Can anyone confirm that?

PM me.

I pay 1100 for a 1BD. Its like the ugliest apartment in the building though. The cheapest ones are unrenovated. See the OP.

This is true except for the Ruby. People started getting offered those on January 30, last year.

You're right. Sorry, kershka, I was talking about us normal folks that don't have superhuman numbers. Also, I liked your other avi better

lol, just trying this one out. We'll see if it lasts

And I'm eagerly awaiting the Ruby offers so that I can spend days beating myself up about not retaking the LSAT. Should be fun

Tell me about it. I took the LSAT cold after looking at the structure of the exam for an hour. I still don't know why I did that. I missed 0 RC, and 1 on one of the LR sections. Completely ran out of time on the LGs and answered two whole games "B." Then scores came out and I was above last year's full-tuition point for WUSTL, so I let it ride. I did get the full-tuition at WUSTL, and I was stoked to matriculate, but then I got the UChi email... I never expected to get anywhere but the waitlist, so now that it's actually an option I'm kicking myself left and right for leaving money on the table.

Could I retake, get a 175, and apply next year for a Ruby? Probably. Will I? Nope.

Yep. That's what happens. I took the June LSATs and had the flu. I had to actually leave the exam room during my last section and barely made it back in time to randomly guess the last five questions. Where did almost every question I got wrong come from? Those last five questions. Now that Hamiltons/Butlers are going out, I am really regretting my choice not to retake but what can you do? C'est la vie.

Anyone else obsessively checking their inbox/spam folder hoping to find a hidden Ruby in there? Can't stop, won't stop.

You have no cause for anxiety. Go bask in your Levy invite and SLS acceptance
