They are SOOOOO stingy at GSU - only 27% of students had a ship last year. They also do not offer a travel stipend to visit., And charge like $37k/yr out-of-state. I'm not impressedMjf0010 wrote:Does anybody know if they release scholarships in waves? Congratulations to all those who have received, I'm just not sure whether I should be concerned of not getting one.

Re: Georgia State Applicants c/o 2020
Is anybody still waiting for any changes to their app status? I still haven't heard anything since my hold notice letter on Jan. 30. I feel like this does not bode well for me. I feel like I'm justified, at this point, in calling in and making an inquiry.

Did you ever call in? I haven't heard anything in three weeks other than a complete app "In Review"Engineertolaw wrote:Is anybody still waiting for any changes to their app status?

I submitted on 1/20. Went complete on 2/06. I still have nothing either. While I was applying I remember I even emailed admissions asking for a fee waiver and I never got a response.spicytaco wrote:Did you ever call in?

Re: Georgia State Applicants c/o 2020
They had at least replied to me and gave me a fee waiver (without even asking for my GPA or LSAT). Not sure what's going on over there but some updates would be nice.future_lawyer25 wrote:I submitted on 1/20. Went complete on 2/06. I still have nothing either.

Re: Georgia State Applicants c/o 2020
Well, just to clarify, I did get a hold notification email on 1/30 stating that a decision would be rendered in 10 days but haven't heard anything since. From what I gather based upon speaking with admissions, they review apps in groups. If you haven't heard anything, then it may simply be because they haven't gotten to your group yet (I wouldn't start freaking out and just give it time). I was informed that I would be getting a decision in 10 days and its been much longer than that. I've pretty much have been glued to my phone, checking emails, for the last week and the stress is going to give me an aneurysm.spicytaco wrote:They had at least replied to me and gave me a fee waiver (without even asking for my GPA or LSAT).

FYI, my app currently states "Ready for Committee Review". Hang in there everyone.

Re: Georgia State Applicants c/o 2020
Can anyone who's been accepted to GSU tell me how they were first notified? Was it via email, checking their app status, phone, or snail mail?

Has anyone received their scholarship packet in the mail yet? I have been waiting for it since I got the scholarship email weeks ago.

Hey guys! My LSAT and GPA are both between the 25% and 50% stats. Is anyone else in the same boat? Has anyone been accepted with similar scores?

Any reverse splitters have any luck this cycle. LSAT ~ 25% and GPA >> 75% ?

Re: Georgia State Applicants c/o 2020
Does anyone know what a normal waiting period is for GSU? Once the application goes complete, how long is it before a decision is usually reached? I'm so nervous to hear back!

My application went from "Complete" on 3/1 to "In review" today, 3/14. Says it could be another 4-6 weeks for a decision.
