I received my PT acceptance letter in the mail today. One page. No mention of scholarship. Did everyone get scholarship info with their letter of acceptance or did it follow in another letter? Also, did St. Mary's follow-up with an acceptance package or is this one page all there is?

:?



i just got the scholarship letter with the acceptance letter.

I received one envelope with two letters in it; an acceptance letter and a scholarship offer.

That is bizarre. I get money from Tier 1 Law Schools, but no love from a Tier 4. Sorry, St. Mary's. You may be in a convenient location for me, but without significant scholarship money it just isn't going to happen. Also, what's up with requiring that the seat deposit come in the form of money order or cashier's check. I thought law students were supposed to be of high moral character. You can't even trust them with a personal check? :|

My app status has been "under consideration" since 3/16; about how long before a decision will be rendered? Or how long did it take anyone's status to change from under consider to decision rendered?

My application went complete on 2/14 and I was accepted on 3/4. I went to the LSAC forum in Houston last November and the lady at the St Mary's table told me to start submitting my info ASAP so they could become familiar with my information. According to her they don't wait until the file is complete before they look at it, but they do wait till it is complete before rendering a decision.

PT : Applied 2/25. Complete 3/8. Admitted 3/16.

My status checker never changed from Complete. I will be withdrawing. Good luck to those accepted and those still waiting to hear.

Did you get an email, snailmail, phone call? So the status stayed at "no decision" the entire time?

Nice, congrats...must be a lack of coordination between the person running the status changer and person running the email alerts or something....

That's what mine did last week. They actually called me and that's how I found out. They called me because the Houston accepted students thing was last weekend and they didn't think I would get the letter in time to go to that. (I am from Houston)

how was the reception?



I actually didn't make it to the reception but instead visited the law school. The school has a lot of positive things about it. Facilities are nice and the way their court room is set up is really cool. They have a temporary wall that can be moved and opens up 4 of the large classrooms so they can view the court room. I don't know if that is a good description or not but if you get a chance to see it take advantage. The part of town it is in is less than desirable but I thought the campus had a segregated feel from the surrounding neighborhoods which is good. I didn't realize how far from the campus most students live. A friend of mine who attends said it takes him 20-30 minutes to get to campus from his house.

wow that is a lot longer drive than I would like to make. Got the acceptance letter in the mail today along with a 3k scholly requiring me to stay in the top 10% like everyone else thus far. I suppose that is a great way to get people to come to your school and not have to pay everyone you offer a scholarship to. Really seems like it would make things pretty competitive, especially for those receiving more significant amounts of money. What does your friend have to say about his fellow students?


Current 1L here -

I also received the 10k 10% stipulation - pretty much the norm from the students I've talked to.

As for the drive to campus - it's actually not that bad, I live on the NW side of SA and it's about 20 min drive - including traffic in the mornings on the busiest highway intersections.

Fellow Students - Everyone is pretty friendly, the campus is small, and there's not cut throat in your face competition. The professors have an open door policy and are happy to meet with students.

If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer!

Mine was fairly quick. I would expect it very soon. Definitely this week and likely early this week. Good luck!

Applied March 1st, got my acceptance letter last week. No money, but I have offers from other schools that I am going to try and leverage into something at St. Mary's.

Anybody looking into or already applied to the joint JD/MPA program?

Any recent activity on acceptances/denials. Have been complete since January 18, with not a word since. As is the case at some other schools, I'm apparently not considered a hot commodity, and it doesn't look good. On the other hand, they could have easily denied me by now.

Perhaps they are waiting to see who pays deposits, etc. But, I'm not on the official waiting list, either!

It's all so confusing and my head hurts.

I was complete 3/9, and got denied (via snail mail) last saturday. Good luck though
