How do I withdraw? Can't figure out how to do so on the admitted students' website.

I'm pretty sure you just shoot them an email

I was talking with a friend from undergraduate who is finishing his 3L year at Michigan this year, and he encouraged me to try to negotiate my scholarship offer. Re-reading the scholarship letter, however, it is apparent that Michigan is not interested in negotiating its initial offer. (I mean, maybe it will for exceptional and unanticipated need or for people who want to go into public interest, but not for someone with a little bit of work history and an interest in a normal legal salary.)

Any updates from someone who has tried negotiating?

Also curious. The language does indicate rather clearly that they're not keen on negotiating, but I wonder how steadfastly they intend to stick to that plan. Like you would think that if a few thousand $ would swing someone to commit, they'd try to do that, right?

don't listen to any email by any school saying they don't negotiate. It's never true.

My status checker says it was updated today but still no decision. I just sent basically a Why Mich email to admissions. Please admit me. Let me love you.

I"m dreaming right along with you, lmao - mini heart attack every time I open the status checker and see that update date.

I tried negotiating earlier on. They said no. But some have suggested there's may be something wrong with my application. No idea. Check my earlier post for details.

I just looked at LSN data for last year and it shows that only 4 people were accepted after 3/9 last year There were a couple who made it off the waitlist. Are the prospects that bleak at this point or should I not focus too much on the LSN data?

Keep in mind that not all applicants have LSN. It's possible there are more people who get accepted this late in the cycle but they just haven't been on LSN!

I'm a terrible person because I only just now updated my LSN stuff despite having looked at past years and seeing literally nobody in my position (sub 25 GPA, 75th percentile LSAT) had been outright accepted, which I was within a few weeks of applying.

I think it's probably fair to say LSN is definitely not representative, and TLS anecdotes are probably a better predictor than just going by the graphs on LSN.

i dare say most applicants arent on lsn. lots of personally identifying information on there.

Finally went complete after submitting on 1/25. Any others out there?

+1 Applied 2/5 and am not expecting much because this is a little bit of a reach and I applied so late, but they kept sending me such convincing lit

Thanks for all the responses guys! I'm going to ease of the LSN data

Sorry if this has been asked already/ since this is the applicants page it might not be known, but I just sent in my lawyers club application and received an email back saying they begin making lease assignments in early May. Should I assume that means I'm in? I don't want to find out in May that they don't have room for me and scramble to find off campus housing...

You can probably just reply back and ask them

Is anyone else's status not updated from 3/11?

it should explicitly say in the email that they will be able to accommodate you a lease once you have placed a seat deposit

literally just came here to ask the same question - at the bottom it says that the checker was updated today but my status is stuck on the 11th

[Motionsinlemons]

Can you stack merit scholarships with need based? Or do you have to choose which one to take? I know at Georgetown you have to pick between the two but I'm not sure if every school does that.
