Yeah, I think I got it about when the others got their $$ offers, and it said I was an alternate and that they would update me by April 13.goldenbear2020 wrote:How did you know you were an alternate?

At the time I was pretty salty, because it seemed like a scholly waitlist, and I'm so sick of waitlists at this point in the cycle. But they were pretty quick to get back to me, and my offer was better than expected, so all is forgiven!

The email I got didn't even say I was an alternate or would know by April 13th. It said they couldn't offer me any money and things could change over time. If it did they would let me know but for now assume I'm not getting anything and make plans based on that.govlife wrote:Yeah, I think I got it about when the others got their $$ offers, and it said I was an alternate and that they would update me by April 13.goldenbear2020 wrote:How did you know you were an alternate?

Received a scholarship for $35k/year yesterday afternoon, sobbed for about 6 hours, and immediately committed. LSAT = 50, 50 < GPA < 75, alumni interview in February. That scholarship made my life goal possible. Can't wait to meet some of you next year!

Re: Georgetown Law School c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
Just got offered a 35k/year, was wondering if it is still possible to negotiate for more money after submitting intent to enroll form? I am pretty satisfied with this scholarship and almost certainly will end up attending GULC but I'm always open to trying to get some more money lol some info on this would be appreciated!

I know the feeling, but don't be too sad. I was an alternate and heard back sooner than I thought I would and the $$ was a lot better than I had expected.JDrat wrote:Just got placed on the Alternate list for scholarships I just visited them yesterday and was so set on attending.

Coming up on a month here shortly since my alumni interview. Is it typical to wait so long for a decision after interviewing?

Anyone from the Alternate scholarship list still waiting to hear back? They said they'd let us know by today

I have a deadline at another school tomorrow so I called about an hour ago to ask if today was still "the" day. The answer was that alternates will get an email today, but it wasn't clear if that email was an offer or a "be patient" email or what...but fingers crossed for good news!Harry Ass Truman wrote:Anyone from the Alternate scholarship list still waiting to hear back?

Also, my original alternate email came at like 7:30 pm EST so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes after their office closes for the day (which is in like 8 minutes I think).

How do the waitlist tiers work? Do they completely exhaust the first before moving to the second?

Also, as a general question, does anyone have advice for how they responded to the feeler email and successfully got some money? I know people talked about this earlier, but I never followed through to hear how it went.
