Yeah I guess it's part of their strategy on how to allocate money (smaller % of students, larger scholarships). I can't fault them for it, but it's frustrating how it can play out for you personally nonetheless.James.K.Polk wrote:+1.

Re: UVA Law Class of 2019
Might be a dumb question however, does anyone know if the alumni luncheon/dinner with fellow admitted students is sponsored or we will be footing our own bill?

I can't imagine it not being sponsored. You're the school's guest, after all.

I RSVP'd for one and unless it didn't charge my card for some reason (I didn't specifically check), I had to pay.

Re: UVA Law Class of 2019
The invitation I got for the local event where I am specifically mentioned the event being $10/person in the e-mail. I guess there's a possibility that this might be for alums and could be waived for admitted students who attend, but I am planning to have ten bones on me jicGreekOmega12 wrote:Might be a dumb question however, does anyone know if the alumni luncheon/dinner with fellow admitted students is sponsored or we will be footing our own bill?

I paid and they refunded it without my asking, saying it was free of charge.

Re: UVA Law Class of 2019
Checking in!
I'm looking at housing options (coming from MW to VA hopefully). I want to be able to meet my fellow 1Ls but I hear alot of people live at Ivy Gardens. UVA's on campus graduate housing isn't bad AT ALL in terms of price. 770 for a one bedroom is a lot less than I expected. I want to live on campus and save money to live off campus next year. I plan on bringing my car too.

Anyone heard about scholarships recently? Seems to have been pretty quiet for the last few weeks or so.

Re: UVA Law Class of 2019
Has anyone used the "Connect with an Alum" option UVA has? It was included in the email yesterday and I think I've seen it on the website somewhere, but I wasn't sure what exactly it is (phone call, email exchange, connecting at alum event, etc.) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I signed up and I imagine it will vary depending on the person and alumni availability to some degree, but I'm realizing I signed up for something and I don't exactly know what it is.

I was talking with someone in the Applicant thread who had received money and there's been a few instances over the past few weeks. But nothing major like the end of January wave. I'm really hoping for something to come through sooncoffee247 wrote:+1Tycho wrote:Anyone heard about scholarships recently? Seems to have been pretty quiet for the last few weeks or so.

Re: UVA Law Class of 2019
I was accepted a little under two weeks ago and received an email late last week regarding financial aid, saying that the priority deadline for need-based financial aid consideration was this Friday..maybe that means that the bulk of financial aid/scholarships will start being determined/going out the end of the month? Grasping at straws here, though.herecomesthesun wrote:I was talking with someone in the Applicant thread who had received money and there's been a few instances over the past few weeks.

Yeah I submitted all my need-based aid forms earlier this week to comply with that deadline. I'm hoping that scholarships will be included as they surely can't have given everything away by now.woodchuck78 wrote:I was accepted a little under two weeks ago and received an email late last week regarding financial aid, saying that the priority deadline for need-based financial aid consideration was this Friday..maybe that means that the bulk of financial aid/scholarships will start being determined/going out the end of the month?

Did anyone who got the email also hear about merit aid?

Re: UVA Law Class of 2019
UVA is one of my top choices because of its proximity to DC (personal reasons and also where I want to practice), but I don't think I could justify it at sticker when I've gotten 2/3s tuition at Cornell and 1/2-ish at Michigan.ChocoFreeze wrote:Why not?
