Congrats on Vanderbilt and ND! I'm waiting to hear back from ND, too, but they were one of my later apps and I hear they take their time. But it's good to know I'm the only one suffering from Bloomington anxiety. I've been stuck at "Ready for Review" forrrr...*checking*...a little over 12 weeks now. And I'm also freaking out a bit because it was one of my top choices along with W&L and Iowa, but I was accepted at the other two very quickly and now I'm wondering if they're just keeping me on the hook because they think I'm not interested. I've also been considering sending a LOCI because I live too far away for an early school visit to be feasible, but I keep reading that Bloomington is famously averse to candidates contacting the admissions office.gabylsatprep18 wrote:I am still under review and going nuts (my application has been UR for 5 weeks now).

I visited the school a couple of months ago and had the opportunity to speak with Greg Canada. The school seemed really interested in my profile so right now I'm going crazy wondering what is going on.

Re: Indiana - Maurer Law c/o 2021
If you want to feel better about contacting them, I will let you know that I *gasp* e-mailed them yesterday. I used the strategy of "Hi, I applied to your school and although I have not heard back from you yet, I had some questions regarding your X program that I hope you can solve (...)." They replied to me fairly quickly and I hope that will (maybe) make them take a look at my file if they haven't yet/have forgotten about it. I really do not understand why it is taking so long, as other people with similar stats which applied at the same time and even after me have already been accepted. It definitely does not have to do with my softs, because they are probably the strongest part of my application.tominusprime wrote:Congrats on Vanderbilt and ND!

Oh thank God, some movement...lol...they finally changed my status to In Review on 2/8, but given my time spent at Ready for Review, I worry that the promised three weeks might take a little longer than expected. I hope everyone else's applications are moving forward as well!

Thank you! IU Maurer is a strong contender for me, probably my first option, so I am really excited that I finally got a response.

Anyone tried to negotiate? If so, how did you go about it? I attended the ASD and loved it but I would obviously like to get as much money as I can

Re: Indiana - Maurer Law c/o 2021
If you look at the past few year's applicant's threads, a lot of folks had luck negotiating after the deposit deadline!. There were even some unsolicited bumps.

Thanks! It would really be more ideal to get a bump before I commit somewhere but it's nice to know there's still a possibility of negotiating further after the deadlineBL2017 wrote:If you look at the past few year's applicant's threads, a lot of folks had luck negotiating after the deposit deadline!.

On that note. I'm a 1L here and I'm happy to answer any questions. Maurer is a super laid-back school and it features a lot of the great mid-western values. I'm an international student and I came here very intimidated by the prospect of law school but I've been warmly welcomed here. Deans Matthew and Parrish are pretty awesome.

Does anyone know if Maurer has health insurance for law students? I need it and marketplace providers are more expensive than just attending another school that does for me.

They don't. The financial aid director said during ASD that they eliminated it because one could get it through the exchange.ncrespo3 wrote:Does anyone know if Maurer has health insurance for law students?

Hi MikkelVilla, thanks for taking questions.

Graduating as an international student is the same as graduating as a national. If you do well and can sell yourself, you can work anywhere. Obviously if there's some dense language barrier than it may get in the way for some work but other than that the employers don't really differentiate. During my interviews for my 1L summer job I didn't have a single person ask anything specific to my background other than general curiosity about why I came to the US for law school and if I intended to stay here after I graduated!
If you elaborate a bit about what you want to know I can definitely be more helpful.

Re: Indiana - Maurer Law c/o 2021
Bloomington is pretty great. It's so different from living in a european big city where you can get around on foot or take public transportation but that's how it is everywhere here in the states. It takes some getting used to but unless you go to NYC that's how it's gonna be everywhere.pezberri wrote:Hi, I'm also an international student!

That's really all there is to say about it. It takes getting used to but you eventually do.
