Additional info & updates

1/16 - It's MLK Day and offices are closed, so I wasn't expecting the acceptance email I received from Duke! I was worried because I'd sent all my apps in relatively late, but that non-binding PT is a stress-saver - 7 days later and a decision. (LS Predictor: Weak Consider).

1/23 - Duke acceptance packet came in the mail. Got a lanyard and a little notepad (made from recycled paper) as school swag. *shrug*

1/24 - In at Howard via online checker. $/yr, since not guaranteed :-|

1/24 - In at Emory via snail mail. Another quick decision - which is definitely appreciated. (LS Predictor: Admit)

2/1 - In at WUSTL via email. File under Scholarship Committee review. (LS Predictor: Admit)

2/10 - Busy day...
In at UC Berkeley via phone call. (LS Predictor: Strong Consider).
In at UCLA via phone call from Dean S (LS Predictor: Consider).
Also got a Scholar in Law Award from WUSTL.

2/13 - In at USC via snail mail. (LS Predictor: Strong Consider).

2/17 - In at Georgetown via snail mail. (LS Predictor: Consider).

2/22 - In at Michigan via online checker. Excited, but just when I thought I was going to pick Berkeley... (LS Predictor: Weak Consider).

3/7 - Mixed day...
Georgetown scholarship via email. More than expected.
Duke scholarship letter sent out today in snail mail.
WL at Penn. *Shrug* Prefer Mich. Withdrew. (LS Predictor: Consider).

3/10 - Duke scholarship letter arrived. Same amount as Gtown. Still nothing from UMich :-(. Will wait for the ASW to get a firm impression of Duke and NC.

3/12 - Rejected at UVa. Bummer when you get denied at a school you wouldn't have attended. (LS Predictor: Consider)
The only "gamechanger" left in my cycle is Stanford, once that's final, I can get down to decision-making.

3/14 - WL at Chicago via email. May withdraw. (LS Predictor: Consider).

3/16 - USC scholarship offer via snail mail. Hell of a lot better than UCLA, who only offered a need based grant so far. Will try to negotiate with the latter...

3/24 - Update: Sent email to UCLA to negotiate. Finaid upped by 10k/yr scholly in addition to need-based grant.

4/2 - Michigan scholarship after negotiation. Lowest yet, but better than nothing. Hoping for need-based aid too.

4/3 - In at Cornell via email. Better late than never I suppose...
Withdrew. (LS Predictor: Consider).

4/6 - UCLA and GULC scholarship increases via email. Pleasant, unexpected and unsolicited surprise.

4/9 - WL at NYU via email :-). Withdrew. (LS Predictor: Consider).

4/14 - Withdrew from Berkeley. ASWs make decisions easier. I didn't wait for the matching scholly offer - it would not have mattered.

4/21 - WL at Stanford via snail mail. Disappointed but way better than expected. (LS Predictor: Consider)

5/1 - Withdrew from Gtown. Toughest decision yet. It sickens me to turn down that much money...this is probably the last time before I become a lawyer that I choose happiness over money.

5/9 - Accepted off WL at Chicago today. I just don't know what to do...Jeez, they just threw in some money.

5/23 - Withdrew from Chicago. Just didn't feel the connection.

How did you negotiate with financial aid office? Did you include your offers from higher ranked schools? Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks!
