Same! See you there :) Interested to see what this "public interest fellows program" thing is all about...
What's the public interest fellows program? Did they mention that in the Toll ding email?

Yeah, here's what they said:

"We sincerely hope that you will still join the Penn Law community, where you can be an active member of our public interest community. In fact, you will have the opportunity to join the inaugural public interest fellows program that will launch this fall - offering you access to the advising and activities of the Toll Public Interest Center, a peer mentoring network, programming and support throughout your time at Penn Law, and guaranteed summer funding for public interest summer work."

I emailed the scholarships email Monday or Tuesday and got an email back this morning saying that if that amount is sufficient they'd process it.
I called today and they were very friendly. Gave me an answer over the phone. Got some $$. I recommend you simply call them today.

They said this monday... no point in trying to ask for more money anymore right? not even need based or something :(

"This message is in reference to your correspondence with the Penn Law Financial Aid Office. Thank you for your continued interest in Penn Law School. We appreciate your keeping us updated as you go through your decision making process. Unfortunately, the Merit Scholarship Committee is not in a position to extend to you a scholarship at this time.

I sent an email this morning and they called me, I would guess it was the financial aid office number.

Contemplating sending a scholarship email to the scholarship email account. How long has it taken them to acknowledge emails when you send to that address?

I usually got a response within an hour or two, though one time I didn't hear back for a few days. I got a response shortly after I sent a follow-up email, though

I would recommend asking in your email to set up a time to speak to someone. They didn't really give me clear answers via email, but they did immediately when I was on the phone

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
