(3) You're still right; it's only May 3rd and so, there's no reason to give up yet! But, is hope rapidly diminishing? fuck yes.

Hello frienz what's the consensus on letting a school know you got an outside scholarship ("a school" here is Stanford)

Check their policies. Most likely you have to tell them.notorious_mig wrote:Hello frienz what's the consensus on letting a school know you got an outside scholarship ("a school" here is Stanford)

I received an outside scholarship and had to report it. They usually adjust your need based/merit aid because of it. If I'm not mistaken, I think you'd also have to report to fafsa next year and depending on how large, it needs to be listed on your taxes.

Patiently waiting for the waitlist acceptance wave to hit. Orientations starts in about 100-110 days. I can't make any plans like this. Any day now. Yep, that LSAT will be worth something to someone sometime soon... please.

Re: The Waitlist Purgatory [NEW POLL!!]
11 WLs. Sending/Sent LOCIs.
Wondering - Should I send a third LOR that I didn't use on apps? The only school I sent it to from the start is also the only t10 acceptance I got. It's academic (as are my other two) and was submitted to LSAC in October. I'm 2+ years out of school. I opted for the other two because I expected those professors to be more eloquent and have more concrete work references than this business of the arts guy.
Thoughts?
p.s. Obviously not sending to UVA

Wondering if I should just withdraw from my (at this point in time) 8 WL for sake of sanity. I've seen some anecdotal mylsn instances but does anyone know if getting money off the WL is possible, especially with another competitive T14 offer??

Sure is, especially if you show genuine interest and were WL because of YP or because they didnt like your app at first but are now interested in your numbers b/c of medians haha.

Re: The Waitlist Purgatory [NEW POLL!!]
What's the story of WL status updates? My status update changed from 2/1 to 5/5 last week, but I've haven't heard a lick from the school.
I did resubmit my waitlist form in late April to update my acceptance deadline to mid-July. However, the first time I submitted the form, my status didn't change from 2/1.

I had a status update the day before getting off of a waitlist. I imagine it could also mean that they added something to your file. Sorry, that's probably not much help.HennessyVSOP wrote:What's the story of WL status updates? My status update changed from 2/1 to 5/5 last week, but I've haven't heard a lick from the school.

What's the protocol for sending final transcripts? Should I send out a heads up email or just let LSAC take care of it?

Anyone know the chances of getting a scholarship off a WL? I just got accepted off the ASU waitlist last night via phone call, but without a scholarship idk if it'll be worth it since I've already deposited at a similar ranked school that'll cost me about 15-20k less per year

You could always look at people accepted off the waitlist from ASU last cycle. See if they reported scholarships.

Re: The Waitlist Purgatory [NEW POLL!!]
You definitely can get $ off the waitlist. I know people who have. That said, you should not let adcomms know you will want a scholarship until you are admitted.rizzlebizness wrote:Wondering if I should just withdraw from my (at this point in time) 8 WL for sake of sanity.

Also, there isn't any reason to withdraw from a WL until you are 100% certain of where you are going to school.

Re: The Waitlist Purgatory [NEW POLL!!]
I thought you send it to the individual schools' admissions offices you're waitlisted at instead of through lsac. my undergrad school has a web page for sending that stuff and I figure you could probably ask them to include a cover letter with your lsac id number or somethinghaley12 wrote:What's the protocol for sending final transcripts?

One more question about scholarships, does anyone know how successful negotiating scholarships after being admitted off the waitlist is? I only have 8 days to decide but if I could get a little more money from the school it would seal the deal.

Yes, you can do this. It has been done many times. It's certainly worth trying. You should basically say what you said: "I am very interested in attending X school, but I am concerned about taking on too much debt. Is there scholarship money available?"ryan.laine94 wrote:One more question about scholarships, does anyone know how successful negotiating scholarships after being admitted off the waitlist is?

Not turning out to be quite the Summer of Waitlists that everyone's been expecting. Mich, UVA and GULC have officially ruled out movement in the coming weeks which means May's gone.

The increase was $45k.ryan.laine94 wrote:One more question about scholarships, does anyone know how successful negotiating scholarships after being admitted off the waitlist is?

WL movement always starts at the top. So until HYSCCN start moving, those schools will be on stand byfreekick wrote:Not turning out to be quite the Summer of Waitlists that everyone's been expecting. Mich, UVA and GULC have officially ruled out movement in the coming weeks which means May's gone.

The fact that they have not released anyone from the waitlist seems like they are still entertaining that possibility. Maybe HYSCNN would pull so many from their waitlist, there might be a cascade. I am keeping my fingers crossed.dietcoke1 wrote:WL movement always starts at the top.

Interesting observations. Alright, let's see if HYSCCN create the much-awaited ripple.
